Abstract:
e16708 Background: SCAN measured global readiness to provide diagnostics and treatments for NET patients in terms of awareness, availability, quality and affordability. This analysis focused on patient and healthcare professional (HCP) awareness of NET diagnostics and treatments. Methods: During Sept-Nov 2019, NET patients and HCPs completed an online survey (available in 14 languages). Results: There were 2795 respondents from 68 countries across 6 continents (2359 patients/carers; 436 HCPs). Primary NETs were most often gastroenteropancreatic NETs (GEP NET; 71% [1408/1983]), particularly small intestinal (35% [690/1983]) or pancreatic (20% [402/1983]). Biopsy was the most well-known diagnostic option in the overall NET patient group (82% [1917/2325]), the GEP NET patient subgroup (83% [1156/1395]) and HCPs (94% [411/435]), followed by CT (all patients: 81% [1874/2325]; GEP NET: 80% [1118/1395]; HCPs: 86% [376/435]). More HCPs were aware of specialized diagnostics, such as 68Ga-DOTA PET CT (HCP 81% [353/435]) and chromogranin A (CgA; 79% [344/435]), than patients (all: 68% [1574/2325] & 62% [1451/2325], respectively; GEP NET: 69% [962/1395] & 67% [936/1395]). The vast majority of all patients (87% [1983/2275]), GEP NET patients (89% [1215/1363]) and HCPs (91% [392/431]) knew surgery was a treatment option. Somastatin analogues were recognised as a treatment option by 90% of HCPs (387/431), but only 75% of GEP NET patients (1019/1363) and 70% of all NET patients (1599/2275). Nearly a quarter of HCPs (22% [95/431]) and one-third of patients (all: 33% [755/2275]; GEP NET: 30% [409/1363]) had not heard of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). The majority of patients (all: 88% [2007/2273]; GEP NET: 89% [1213/1370]) and HCPs (93% [396/425]) were aware of conventional imaging, such as CT/MRI/ultrasound, being used for ongoing monitoring of NETs. Approximately a third of all NET patients and a quarter of HCPs were unware CgA (patients: 32% [723/2273]; HCPs: 22% [94/425]) or 68Ga-DOTA PET CT (patients: 29% [670/2273]; HCPs: 24% [102/425]) were ongoing monitoring tools. Similarly, CgA and 68Ga-DOTA PET CT were not recognized by 27% of GEP NET patients (364/1370 & 371/1370, respectively). Conclusions: Increased awareness of NET diagnostics and treatments, particularly newer, more specialized tools, amongst both HCPs and patients is required to ensure continued advancements and improvements in the global standard of care for NETs.

Abstract:
We investigated the prevalence and predictors of positive tuberculin skin test (TST) results among prospective Vietnamese migrants. We interviewed and medically screened 1395 Vietnamese people aged over 15 years who had applied to migrate to Australia. Approximately 44% of applicants had an induration of 10 mm or more, and 18·6% had an induration of 15 mm or more. A positive tuberculin skin test at 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm of induration cut-points was significantly associated with age (OR 1·01–1·02 per year) and duration of smoking (OR 1·03–1·12 per year). Smoking appears to be an important factor associated with increased susceptibility to mycobacterial infection. It is not yet clear whether the increased tuberculin reactivity associated with smoking reflects an increased risk of tuberculosis among these migrants.

Abstract:
Abstract. Due to the abundance of observational datasets collected since the onset of its retreat (c. 1983), Columbia Glacier, Alaska, provides an exciting modeling target. We perform Monte Carlo simulations of the form and flow of Columbia Glacier, using a 1-D (depth-integrated) flowline model, over a wide range of parameter values and forcings. An ensemble filter is imposed following spin-up to ensure that only simulations that accurately reproduce observed pre-retreat glacier geometry are retained; all other simulations are discarded. The selected ensemble of simulations reasonably reproduces numerous highly transient post-retreat observed datasets. The selected ensemble mean projection suggests that Columbia Glacier will achieve a new dynamic equilibrium (i.e. "stable") ice geometry c. 2020, at which time iceberg calving rate will have returned to approximately pre-retreat values. Comparison of the observed 1957 and 2007 glacier geometries with the projected 2100 glacier geometry suggests that Columbia Glacier had already discharged ~82% of its projected 1957–2100 sea level rise contribution by 2007. This case study therefore highlights the difficulties associated with the future extrapolation of observed glacier mass loss rates that are dominated by iceberg calving.

Abstract:
Abstract Hypotheses about the link between cannabis use and psychosis apply to the within-person level but have been tested mostly at the between-person level. We used a within-person design, in which a person serves as his own control, thus removing the need to consider confounding by any fixed (genetic and nongenetic) characteristic to study the prospective association between cannabis use and the incidence of attenuated psychotic experiences, and vice versa, adjusted for time-varying confounders. We combined 2 general population cohorts (at baseline: Early Developmental Stages of Psychopathology Study, n = 1395; Netherlands Mental Health Survey and Incidence Study-2, n = 6603), which applied a similar methodology to study cannabis use and attenuated psychotic experiences with repeated interviews (T0, T1, T2, and T3) over a period of approximately 10 years. The Hausman test was significant for the adjusted models, indicating the validity of the fixed-effects model. In the adjusted fixed-effects model, prior cannabis use was associated with psychotic experiences (aOR = 7.03, 95% CI: 2.39, 20.69), whereas prior psychotic experiences were not associated with cannabis use (aOR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.21, 1.71). Longitudinal studies applying random-effects models to study associations between risk factors and mental health outcomes, as well as reverse causality, may not yield precise estimates. Cannabis likely impacts causally on psychosis but not the other way round.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT A significant oil leakage from the wreck of the passenger vessel Jupiter occurred in the proximity of Piraeus Port Entrance in Greece on September 9, 1999, caused probably by a major earthquake. Eleven years earlier, the vessel had sunk after a severe collision, with a considerable quantity of fuels and lubricants onboard. Underwater research revealed that the wreck was lying on the seabed at a depth of 75 meters and a distance of 1.2 nautical miles from the port entrance, within the traffic lines of ships while the oil was found to leak from several portholes and a watertight cargo door. After the responsible state authorities decided to remove oil from the wreck, preparatory work was initiated including the detection and marking of the exact position of fuel tanks and all leaking points, while a series of precautionary measures were implemented to ensure safety of navigation and the recovery of any accidental oil escape from the wreck. Using hot tapping technique, the oil remaining in fuel tanks was pumped out. Furthermore, oil entrapped in accommodations and other spaces was pumped out and released with use of compressed air. The whole operation lasted 43 days and resulted in the pumping out of approximately 1,225 barrels of oil and oily residues, and the subsequent effective protection of the wider marine area.

Abstract:
Abstract Context.—Molecular genetic analyses have been predicted to improve the diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle aspiration of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Objective.—To determine the value of routine molecular genetic assays, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), in the diagnosis of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma by fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Design.—A multiparametric method, including cytology, flow cytometry, PCR, and FISH, was prospectively evaluated in the diagnosis of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma by FNA. Aspirates from 30 consecutive patients with suspected hematolymphoid malignancies were collected. All aspirates were triaged through a uniform program including cell-size analysis, B- and T-cell clonality studies, flow cytometric immunophenotyping, and bcl-1 and bcl-2 gene rearrangements by PCR and FISH. After completion of FNA evaluations, FNA results were compared with diagnoses from prior or subsequent surgical biopsies. Results.—Monoclonal B-cell populations were detected in 18 of 20 B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas by flow cytometry and PCR. bcl-1 gene rearrangement was detected in 2 of 2 cases of mantle cell lymphoma. bcl-2 rearrangement was detected in 5 cases including 4 of 4 low-grade follicular lymphomas and 1 transformed follicular lymphoma. By incorporating the results of molecular genetic and ancillary diagnostics, a definitive classification was reached in 12 cases of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma by FNA, including all cases of low-grade follicular lymphoma (4/4) and mantle cell lymphoma (2/2) and approximately 50% of small lymphocytic lymphoma (2/4) and large B-cell lymphoma (4/8). Ten of the 12 cases with a final classification reached by FNA had either prior or follow-up surgical biopsies, and all 10 cases showed agreement between the diagnoses rendered on FNA and surgical biopsies. Conclusions.—With proper handling and management of specimens, FNA can routinely provide samples adequate for molecular genetic studies, in addition to cytomorphology and flow cytometry, making it possible to consistently render accurate and definitive diagnoses in a subset of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. By incorporating FISH and PCR methods, FNA may assume an expanded role for the primary diagnosis of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract:
BackgroundReported rates of bipolar syndromes are highly variable between studies because of age differences, differences in diagnostic criteria, or restriction of sampling to clinical contacts.MethodIn 1395 adolescents aged 14–17 years, DSM-IV (hypo)manic episodes (manic and hypomanic episodes combined), use of mental health care, and five ordinal subcategories representing the underlying continuous score of (hypo)manic symptoms (‘mania symptom scale’) were measured at baseline and approximately 1.5, 4 and 10 years later using the Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (DIA-X/M-CIDI).ResultsIncidence rates (IRs) of both (hypo)manic episodes and (hypo)manic symptoms (at least one DSM-IV core symptom) were far higher (714/105 person-years and 1720/105 person-years respectively) than traditional estimates. In addition, the risk of developing (hypo)manic episodes was very low after the age of 21 years [hazard ratio (HR) 0.031, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.0050–0.19], independent of childhood disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Most individuals with hypomanic and manic episodes were never in care (87% and 62% respectively) and not presenting co-morbid depressive episodes (69% and 60% respectively). The probability of mental health care increased linearly with the number of symptoms on the mania symptom scale. The incidence of the bipolar categories, in particular at the level of clinical morbidity, was strongly associated with previous childhood disorders and male sex.ConclusionsThis study showed, for the first time, that experiencing (hypo)manic symptoms is a common adolescent phenomenon that infrequently predicts mental health care use. The findings suggest that the onset of bipolar disorder can be elucidated by studying the pathway from non-pathological behavioural expression to dysfunction and need for care.

Abstract:
Abstract. Results from all phases of the orbits of the Ulysses spacecraft have shown that the magnitude of the radial component of the heliospheric field is approximately independent of heliographic latitude. This result allows the use of near-Earth observations to compute the total open flux of the Sun. For example, using satellite observations of the interplanetary magnetic field, the average open solar flux was shown to have risen by 29% between 1963 and 1987 and using the aa geomagnetic index it was found to have doubled during the 20th century. It is therefore important to assess fully the accuracy of the result and to check that it applies to all phases of the solar cycle. The first perihelion pass of the Ulysses spacecraft was close to sunspot minimum, and recent data from the second perihelion pass show that the result also holds at solar maximum. The high level of correlation between the open flux derived from the various methods strongly supports the Ulysses discovery that the radial field component is independent of latitude. We show here that the errors introduced into open solar flux estimates by assuming that the heliospheric field's radial component is independent of latitude are similar for the two passes and are of order 25% for daily values, falling to 5% for averaging timescales of 27 days or greater. We compare here the results of four methods for estimating the open solar flux with results from the first and second perehelion passes by Ulysses. We find that the errors are lowest (1–5% for averages over the entire perehelion passes lasting near 320 days), for near-Earth methods, based on either interplanetary magnetic field observations or the aa geomagnetic activity index. The corresponding errors for the Solanki et al. (2000) model are of the order of 9–15% and for the PFSS method, based on solar magnetograms, are of the order of 13–47%. The model of Solanki et al. is based on the continuity equation of open flux, and uses the sunspot number to quantify the rate of open flux emergence. It predicts that the average open solar flux has been decreasing since 1987, as is observed in the variation of all the estimates of the open flux. This decline combines with the solar cycle variation to produce an open flux during the second (sunspot maximum) perihelion pass of Ulysses which is only slightly larger than that during the first (sunspot minimum) perihelion pass.

Abstract:
Cryoelectron microscopy has been used to examine the three-dimensional (3-D) conformation of small oligonucleosomes from chicken erythrocyte nuclei after vitrification in solutions of differing ionic strength. From tilt pairs of micrographs, the 3-D location and orientation of the nucleosomal disks, and the paths of segments of exposed linker can be obtained. In "low-salt" conditions (5 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5), the average trinucleosome assumes the shape of an equilateral triangle, with nucleosomes at the vertices, and a length of exposed linker DNA between consecutive nucleosomes equivalent to approximately 46 bp. The two linker DNA segments converge at the central nucleosome. Removal of histones H1 and H5 results in a much more variable trinucleosome morphology, and the two linker DNA segments usually join the central nucleosome at different locations. Trinucleosomes vitrified in 20 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, (the salt concentration producing the maximal increase in sedimentation), reveal that compaction occurs by a reduction in the included angle made by the linker DNA segments at the central nucleosome, and does not involve a reduction in the distance between consecutive nucleosomes. Frequently, there is also a change in morphology at the linker entry-exit site. At 40 mM NaCl, there is no further change in trinucleosome morphology, but polynucleosomes are appreciably more compact. Nevertheless, the 3-D zig-zag conformation observed in polynucleosomes at low salt is retained at 40 mM NaCl, and individual nucleosome disks remain separated from each other. There is no evidence for the formation of solenoidal arrangements within polynucleosomes. Comparison of the solution conformation of individual oligonucleosomes with data from physical measurements on bulk chromatin samples suggests that the latter should be reinterpreted. The new data support the concept of an irregular zig-zag chromatin conformation in solution over a range of ionic strengths, in agreement with other in situ (McDowall, A.W., J.M. Smith, and J. Dubochet. 1986, EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J.5: 1395-1402; Horowitz, R.A., D.A. Agard, J.W. Sedat, and C.L. Woodcock, 1994. J. Cell Biol. 125:1-10), and in vitro conclusions (van Holde, K., and J. Zlatanova. 1995. J. Biol. Chem. 270:8373-8376). Cryoelectron microscopy also provides a way to determine the 3-D conformation of naturally occurring chromatins in which precise nucleosome positioning plays a role in transcriptional regulation.

Abstract:
Similarly to an increase in life expectancy, the incidence of Parkinson’s disease increases as well. In parallel with this, more patients with Parkinson’s disease undergo elective or urgent surgical interventions. According to recent statistical data, more than half of the patients with Parkinson’s disease are not properly managed when they are hospitalized for surgical interventions. It is also clear that properly managed Parkinson’s disease patients have an approximately 50% lower rate for perioperative complications. The authors aimed to summarize the most important complications, the updated peri- and intraoperative treatment and management strategies of patients with Parkinson’s disease. They intended to underline that interdisciplinary cooperation and knowledge of the proper strategy may result in more successful treatment of Parkinson’s disease patients during the perioperative period.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper proposes a passive reconfigurable antenna by using liquid metal and gravity mechanism. When the antenna rotates to different angles, the liquid metal will flow to the lowest point of the container due to gravitational force, thereby acting as a reflector to redirect the main antenna radiation pattern at predefined angles at 5.8 GHz (ISM band). The upper section patterns can be maintained when antenna is tilted at 45°, 90°, 135°, 225°, 275° and 315° whereas the rotated antenna at 0° and 180° causes a forward radiation. More importantly, additional directors surrounding the main patch can be used to increase the directivity of these radiation patterns. Simulation results in terms of reflection coefficient, radiation patterns and gain indicate that the proposed antenna operated passively with a consistent bandwidth of approximately 400 MHz.

Abstract:
AbstractWhile the world is battling the new coronavirus known as SARS-COV-2, public health and nutrition services in India are getting disrupted and derailed. It is pertinent not to overlook the existing gaps in our journey towards attaining the holistic sustainable development goals (SDGs). In fact, it is now well-established that comorbidities, especially malnutrition, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other respiratory or kidney problems exacerbate the pathogenesis of COVID-19 because of an already compromised immune system. The whole world is off track in achieving SDG 2, known as Zero Hunger, by 2030. At the current pace, approximately 17 countries including India will fail to even reach low hunger by 2030. India ranks 104 out of 117 countries as per the used metric, the global hunger index. Furthermore, these projections do not account for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may worsen hunger and undernutrition in the near term and affect countries’ trajectories into the future.The author underscores the serious adverse impacts of COVID-19 on public health, nutrition, and food security in India and other low- and middle-income countries. Estimates show that 135 million persons were hungry before the pandemic. By the end of 2020, the number will likely increase to 265 million. India carries a heavy burden of multiple forms of malnutrition including undernutrition, hunger, micronutrient deficiencies as well as overweight, and obesity. India’s public health and nutritional policies must urgently address these problems. Measures taken by the government during the pandemic to counter its negative impact on the nutrition of women, children, migrant labor, and other vulnerable populations are enumerated. The response of the international community to tackle COVID-19 related nutritional challenges and India’s policy measures for ensuring nutrition and food security are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Measles is a highly contagious disease which is contracted by almost all exposed non-immune children and those affected bear considerable risk of serious illness or death (Table 48.1). Prior to the development of a vaccine for measles in the 1960s, there were approximately 135 million cases and over 6 million measles-related deaths around the world each year (Wolfson et al., 2007). By 1987, the World Health Organization estimated that this had fallen to 1.9 million and a new combined vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella became available (MMR). Global health.

Abstract:
This chapter presents the results of the application of the failure mode and effects analysis methodology, within the scope of the Organisational Risk Management Plan, in the Municipal Division of Contract Works and Concessions of Oliveira de Azeméis City Council of the metropolitan area of Porto located in the north of Portugal with an area of approximately 164 Km2 and a few more than 20,000 inhabitants. An update of the literature review allows us to conclude that this methodology remains a good approach for establishing a bridge between risk management and the Plan for Prevention of Risks of Corruption and Related Infractions, in line with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recommendation on public integrity. Once the application of this methodology is understood, an example of its implementation for the management of risk in the contract works service of the Municipality of Oliveira de Azeméis is also provided.

Abstract:
In the recent digital designs, there are certain circumstances where energy efficiency and ease is required, and in such situations, ternary logic (or three-valued logic) is favored. Ternary logic is an auspicious supernumerary to the conventional binary (0, 1) logic design techniques as this one is possible to attain straightforwardness and energy efficiency. This chapter deals with the comparative analysis of CMOS and CNTFET-based ternary inverter and universal gates design. The simulation result is analyzed and validated with a Hailey simulation program with integrated circuit (HSPICE) simulations. The average delay and power consumption in CNTFET-based ternary inverter have been reduced by approximately 90.3% and 48.8% respectively, as compared to CMOS-based ternary inverter design. Likewise, delay is reduced by 50% and power gets 99% reduction in ternary CNTFET NAND gate as compared to CMOS-based ternary NAND gat. It is concluded that CNFETs are faster and consume less power compared to CMOS technology.

Abstract For the second time this year, Mrs. R, who is thirty-four, has lost her job. For the past eighteen months she has been trying to pull her life together after her husband took their four children and left with another woman. She drinks too much; she has no money, no hope, no friends. She sees her choices as either suicide or one last effort to get help. Where does she go? Whom does she see? If she goes to the typical Yellow Pages, she may find a list of approximately 135 names under “Marriage and Family Counselors”; 87 under “Social Workers”; another 97 under “Psychologists”; and 48 others under “Psychiatrists.” There are also lists of “Alcohol Counselors” and a cross-reference to “Licensed Practical Nurses.” Some names are on more than one list.

Abstract:
In the study of snow melt runoff, the temperature lapse rate (TLR) is an essential variable. For the Beas River Basin in the Western Himalayas, it has been approximated in the current study. In this work, the split-window (SW) technique for TLR estimate has been used to recover the land surface temperature (LST). LST in the study area has a negative correlation with elevation values, and the trend shows that LST and elevation have an inverse relationship, according to data from the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) and global digital elevation model (GDEM). The TLRs for the Beas River Basin region vary from 0.71°C/100 m to 0.87°C/100 m during the time period of 18 April 2013 to 27 June 2015. The findings were calculated using lapse rates calculated from maps produced by the moderate resolution image spectroradiometer (MODIS). There is excellent agreement between the MODIS-Terra data and the air temperature and LST from Landsat-8. The modelling of snow and glacier melt flow in the Himalayan region will benefit from the current work.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper examines the effect of the variation of the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) in feedwater heaters on the thermodynamic and economic performance of a coal-fired steam power plant. The changes in the values of U are caused by the heat transfer surface fouling or by errors in the power plant design. These errors often result from the use of approximate heat transfer equations when selecting power plants elements. Low and high pressure feedwater heaters of a power plant equipped with a condensing turbine and a natural circulation steam generator with one reheat stage are considered in this work. The research was conducted using the overall heat transfer coefficients from 50% to 150% of the nominal value. The thermodynamic and economic effects on the power plant were calculated using the mathematical model of the power plant. The power plant components’ mathematical models evaluate the influence of the changes in the heaters’ overall heat transfer coefficient on the thermodynamic (especially exergetic) losses and economic effects. They take into account off-design operating conditions. The decomposition method and multi-level iterative process was used to solve the problem. The research proved that, during operation, the capacity of the power plant might change by up to 2% due to above-mentioned variations. For a 600 MW power plant that means variation of the electric power delivery of approximately 12 MW and increase of the operating costs of up to 4 million dollars per year. The obtained results are particularly useful in the decision-making process in planning renovation and feedwater heaters’ replacement periods.

Abstract:
Abstract A system was developed to track the position and curvature of the human coronary arteries during a cardiac cycle using bi-plane angiography. The system uses a time interpolation technique on one image plane to create simultaneous image pairs. The image pairs are then used to reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) axes of the vessels over the cardiac cycle. From the axes, curvature measurements have been made on a portion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) at approximately 30 different times during the cardiac cycle. Results show that the changes in curvature over the cardiac cycle vary considerably from point to point.

Abstract:
Abstract The design, simulation, and testing of a novel portable pasteurization system suitable for the daily needs of four individuals are presented. This is the first self-powered, large-scale portable system developed to kill waterborne pathogens that contaminate current water supplies worldwide. The major components of the system consist of available technology: two evacuated solar collectors, a heat exchanger, two holding tanks, and a thermostatic valve. Flow of contaminated water through these components is permitted only when the temperature specified by the thermostatic valve is reached. Simulation of system performance is obtained via a lumped capacitance, time-dependent analysis with a limited number of input parameters. A prototype pasteurizer was designed and constructed, and proof-of-concept experiments were conducted in Minnesota in May 1998. The system was able to deliver nearly the predicted quantity of pasteurized water, approximately 70 liter/day.

Abstract:
We present a universal dielectric elastomer energy generator that can be scaled to match the requirements of the energy source. The design couples mechanical energy directly into an out of plane deflection that deforms the film. Cycling the generator between high and low strain states while applying a bias electric field switches the device between high and low energy states; charge that is injected at low energy can then be extracted at a higher potential. We present an analysis of the energy generation capacity and mechanical stability of the device and demonstrate its scalability via a compact, low energy/low deflection device and a larger, higher energy device. We demonstrate the capability of generating approximately 40 mJ per cycle in a single layer device with an active elastomer volume of only 0.57 cm3 and a maximum observed energy conversion efficiency of over 55%. We use recently developed advances in dielectric elastomer technology including interpenetrating polymer network films and carbon nanotube electrodes to improve operational reliability and present comparative results that demonstrate an increase in lifetime by several orders of magnitude over prestrained VHB acrylic films with carbon grease electrodes.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper investigates the effects of the electrical double layer at the solid-liquid interface on liquid flow and heat transfer through a microchannel between two parallel plates at constant and equal temperatures. A linear approximate solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is used to describe the electrical double layer field near the solid-liquid interface. The electrical body force resulting from the double layer field is considered in the equation of motion. The equation of motion is solved for the steady state flow. Effects of the electrical double layer field and the channel size on the velocity distribution, streaming potential, apparent viscosity, temperature distribution and heat transfer coefficient are discussed in this paper.
