Abstract:
A new and generalized lattice Boltzmann model for simulating thermal two-phase flow is described. In this model, the single component multi-phase lattice Boltzmann model proposed by Shan and Chen is used to simulate the fluid dynamics. The temperature field is simulated using the passive-scalar approach, i.e., through modeling the density field of an extra component, which evolves according to the advection-diffusion equation. By coupling the fluid dynamics and temperature field through a suitably defined body force term, the thermal two-phase lattice Boltzmann model is obtained. In this paper

The purpose of this paper is to develop predictive models for flank wear that explicitly incorporate cutting temperature and the physical properties of coatings and work materials. The development of such models can minimize time-consuming machining experiments in predicting tool life by establishing flank wear models that can be applied to wide classes of coated inserts and work materials. To develop such models, a set of experiments was performed to understand the effect on flank wear due to the morphology and amount of the second phase in work materials.

Abstract:
Recently, methods for the treatment of chronic diseases and disorders through the modulation of peripheral and autonomic nerves have been proposed. To investigate various treatment methods and results, experiments are being conducted on animals such as rabbits and rat. However the diameter of the targeted nerves is small (several hundred μm) and it is difficult to modulate small nerves. Therefore, a neural interface that is stable, easy to implant into small nerves, and is biocompatible is required. Here, to develop an advanced neural interface, a thiol-ene/acrylate-based shape memory polymer

Abstract:
AbstractIn operational weather forecasting standard environmental parameters, such as air temperature and humidity, are traditionally used to predict thermal conditions in the future. These parameters, however, are not enough to describe the thermal stress induced by the outdoor environment to the human body as they neglect the human heat budget and personal characteristics (e.g. clothing). The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) overcomes these limitations by using an advanced thermo-physiological model coupled with a state-of-the-art clothing model. Several systems have been recently developed to operationally forecast human biometeorological conditions via the UTCI, i.e. by computing UTCI from the forecasts of air temperature, humidity, wind speed and radiation as provided by numerical weather prediction models. Here we describe the UTCI-based forecasting systems developed in Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Portugal and at the pan-European scale. Their characteristics are illustrated and their potential as warning systems for thermal hazards discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractGlobal climate change poses a great threat to poultry production. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are released through both natural and anthropogenic sources into the atmosphere. Though poultry production contributes little to the release of GHGs, the subsector has been shown to be greatly affected by climate change and global warming. Poultry production as a major subsector of agriculture has provided the teeming population with a supply of needed animal protein in terms of meat and egg production all over the world. It is yet a major global employer of labor. Though it occupies a vantage position in meeting human needs, it is being threatened by climate change, especially in Africa where necessary structure to tackle the menace is nonexistent. Broiler chickens that are reared mainly for chicken meat cannot tolerate the high ambient temperature that prevails mostly in the tropical environment. Chickens are homeotherms that homeostatically regulate core body temperature within a narrow range. Elevated ambient temperature above thermal comfort zone, such as envisaged in climate change scenarios, will trigger series of neuroendocrine modulations that are detrimental to the welfare and productivity in broiler chickens. Such birds are said to be undergoing heat stress (HS). Negative effects of HS include reduced feed consumption, growth rate, feed digestion and efficiency, immunity, welfare, and survivability. Various adaptive measures that could be harnessed by broiler farmers, ranging from housing, feeding, watering, stocking, breeding for thermo-tolerant strains, thermal conditioning, use of phytochemicals, and much more, are reviewed upon in this chapter.

Abstract:
It is essential to distinguish between an imposter and a genuine emotion in certain applications. To facilitate this, the number of features is increased by incorporating physiological signals. Physiological changes in the human body cannot be pretended. Human emotional behavior changes the heart rate, skin resistance, finger temperature, EEG etc. These physiological signal parameters can be measured and included as the final feature vector. The network is to be trained considering all the feature points as inputs with a radial basis activation function at the hidden layer and a linear activation function at the output layer. The two physiological parameters galvanic skin response (GSR) and finger tip temperature (FTT) that are predominant in deciding the emotion of a person are considered in this chapter. The measurements made are transmitted to LabVIEW add-on card for further data processing and analysis. The results obtained are nearer to the reality with a good measure of accuracy.

Abstract:
Prematurely born infants are observed in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for medical treatment. These infants are nursed in an incubator, where their vital body functions such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and temperature are continuously monitored. However, the existing monitoring system is lack of the measurement for visual expression of the neonatal. Therefore, valuable information about the well being of the patient (e.g., pain and discomfort) may pass unnoticed. This chapter aims at designing a prototype of an automated video monitoring system for the detection of discomfort in newborns by analyzing their facial expression. The system consists of several algorithmic components, ranging from the face detection, ROI determination, facial feature extraction, to behavior stage classification. To further adapt this system to the real hospital environment, the authors also intend to address the problem of locating the face regions under varying lighting conditions. To this end, an adaptive face detection technique based on gamut mapping is presented. The authors have evaluated the prototype system on recordings of a healthy newborn with different conditions, and we show that our algorithm can operate with approximately 88% accuracy.

Abstract:
For critically ill preterm infants, there is a clinical need for contact-free monitoring technologies, which would eliminate discomfort and potential harm (e.g., necrosis) due to adhesive electrodes, temperature and saturation sensors. Hence, this chapter focuses on non-contact physiological monitoring of infants based on infrared (IR) thermography. This technique has the potential to replace the conventional temperature sensing by detecting radiated thermal energy emitted from the baby’s surface according to black-body radiation principle. This allows the application of a less invasive method giving more detailed information about the thermoregulation status of newborn infants. As an illustrative example, an investigation into thermoregulation physiology during kangaroo care method has been chosen to illustrate the benefit of this method for standardized neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) procedures. Furthermore, this technique may have a large impact on non-contact respiratory monitoring, as it allows quantitative evaluation of the heat transfer processes over nostrils region. Moreover, the ability to detect infrared respiration (IRTR) signature with thermography imaging, will pave the road toward a non-contact breathing monitoring. This in turn will influence the development efforts for wireless and smart incubator solutions.

Full text
Abstract:
Marine crustaceans show a suite of phenotypically plastic responses to the environment, with some restricted to the larval phase and others transcending life history boundaries, linking life phases or generations. Maternal effects include the effects of allocation of reserves into eggs as well as effects of the embryonic environment on tolerance to low salinity or larval body mass. Within the larval phase, there is a diversity of plastic responses involving changes in body size, growth, and developmental rate; they can occur within the molt cycle, involve several molting stages, or result in the development of alternative pathways characterized by the different larval stages. In feeding larvae, the effects of stressors on body mass may be attenuated by delayed development; however, in nonfeeding larvae (e.g., barnacle cyprids), delayed metamorphosis reduces juvenile body size and habitat selectivity. Also, larval food limitation and increased temperatures away from the optimum lead to reduced body mass during metamorphosis. Overall, many of these responses are adaptive and lead to the maintenance of basic functions at the expense of morphogenesis and growth. Some plastic responses that lead to changes in size during metamorphosis can also have consequences for juvenile size growth and survival. These “latent effects” appear to represent forms of developmental trade-offs and may have important ecological and evolutionary consequences. Larval plasticity, by generating phenotypic variation, may influence the capacity to compete, capture resources, tolerate stressors, and, ultimately, may affect recruitment dynamics. In addition, plastic responses linking life history stages also result in genetic links and hence drive the evolution of crustaceans with complex life cycles.

Abstract:
Radiative heating calculations in the atmosphere involve four distinguishable scales of frequency. First, there is the comparatively slow variation with frequency of the Planck function and its derivative with respect to temperature. About one-half of the radiation from a black body at terrestrial temperatures lies in a wave number range of 500 cm-1. The second scale is that of the unresolved contour of a band. For atmospheric molecules other than water vapor, the Planck function is effectively constant over a single band; water vapor bands must be divided into sections of the order of 50 cm-1 wide before this is so. For a rotating molecule, the next relevant scale of frequency is that of the spacing between rotation lines, approximately 1-5 cm-1. Finally, there is the monochromatic scale on which the absorption coefficient may be treated as a constant, and for which Lambert’s absorption law is obeyed: of the order of one-fifth of a line width ≃ 2 x 10-2 cm-1 for a gas at atmospheric pressure, down to 2 x 10-4cm-1 for a Doppler line in the middle atmosphere. This step takes us to a division of the frequency scale that, when taken together with other features of the calculation, presents a formidable computation task. Calculations can, of course, be made and are made at this limiting spectral resolution (line-by-line calculations) but, despite the fact that they are technically feasible with modern computers, such calculations are rare and are usually performed to provide a few reference cases. The great majority of investigations make use of averages over many lines, embracing spectral ranges that are small compared to a band contour (narrow-band models), or over complete bands (wide-band models), or over the entire thermal spectrum (emissivity models.) There are a number of reasons for working with spectral averages. Practical considerations are that important classes of laboratory measurements, and most atmospheric observations (e.g., satellite radiometry) are made with some spectral averaging, often comparable to that of narrow-band models.

Abstract:
In recent years, outbreaks of highly contagious diseases, like the Ebola virus, have motivated vigorous efforts to screen travelers entering the United States, especially at airports. Screening involves monitoring the body temperature of entering travelers, and blocking entry of those showing a fever, indicating a potential infection. Typically, screening is performed using commercially available non-contact infrared thermometers (NCITs). These thermometers require specific use protocols (e.g., working distances) to provide accurate results, which may not be followed by inspectors reluctant to

Abstract:
In the world of soft-robotic medical devices, there is a growing need for low profile, non-rigid, and lower power actuators for soft exoskeletons and dynamic compression garments. Advanced compression garments with integrated shape memory materials have been developed recently to alleviate the functional and usability limitations associated with traditional compression garments. These advanced garments use contractile shape memory alloy (SMA) coil actuators to produce dynamic compression on the body through selective heating of the SMA material. While these garments can create spatially- and t

In the present paper, an experimental investigation of the performance of a low mach number round straight air-air ejector with a 4-ring entraining diffuser is reported. The ejector system was mounted on an annular flow wind tunnel. Based on the hydraulic diameter and average velocity and temperature at the nozzle exit, the tunnel provides cold flow at Mach 0.2 with a Reynolds number of 5.2×105 and hot flow at Mach 0.27 with a Reynolds number of 2.6×105. The end shape of the annulus’ center body has major effects on the core separation size and shape that strongly affects the ejector performan
