In MRI-guided laser interstitial thermotherapy (MRgLITT), a signal void sometimes appears at the heating center of the measured temperature map. In neurosurgical MRgLITT treatments, cerebrospinal fluid pulsation (CSF), which may lead to…
The thermometry precision of a sample is a question of both fundamental and technological importance. In this paper, we consider a ring-structure system as our probe to estimate the temperature of a bath. Based on the Markovian master…
We propose experimental methods to engineer reservoirs at arbitrary temperature which are feasible with current technology. Our results generalize to mixed states the possibility of quantum state engineering through controlled decoherence.…
Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly recognized as an essential component of efficient Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and refrigeration as it reduces…
The introduction of the Water Framework directive sets stringent limits on phosphorous discharge from wastewater treatment plants to maintain the complex interdependent relationship between water tributaries and the ecosystem. This paper…
We show that a local measurement of temperature and voltage for a quantum system in steady state, arbitrarily far from equilibrium, with arbitrary interactions within the system, is unique when it exists. This is interpreted as a…
A photothermal super resolution technique is proposed for an improved inspection of internal defects. To evaluate the potential of the laser-based thermographic technique, an additively manufactured stainless steel specimen with closely…
Temperature imaging of nanoscale systems is a fundamental problem which has myriad potential technological applications. For example, nanoscopic cold spots can be used for spot cooling electronic components while hot spots could be used for…
We show that the teleportation protocol can be efficiently used to detect quantum critical points using finite temperature data even if all resources needed to its implementation lie within the system under investigation. Contrary to a…
The state of a sample during crystal growth from high temperature solutions is not accessible in conventional furnace systems. An optimization of the growth parameters often requires arduous trial and error procedures in particular in case…
The agreement between the fragments' internal and kinetic temperatures with the breakup temperature is investigated using a Statistical Multifragmentation Model which makes no a priori as- sumption on the relationship between them. We thus…
Detailed studies of the shape of dust emission spectra are possible thanks to the current instruments capable of observations in several sub-millimetre bands (e.g., Herschel and Planck). However, some controversy remains even on the basic…
Predicting thermal response in orthopaedic surgery or dental implantation remains a significant challenge. This study aims to find a practical approach for measuring temperature elevation during a bone drilling experiment by analyzing the…
This paper reports on the methods and results of a theoretical analysis to design an insulator which must provide a thermally quiet environment to test on ground delicate temperature sensors and associated electronics. These will fly on…
A three-level system attached to three thermal baths is manipulated to be a microscopic thermal device integrating a valve, a refrigerator, an amplifier, and a thermometer in the quantum regime, via tuning the inner coupling strength of the…
This paper presents the development of instrumentation for the measurement of high-temperature thermal conductivity of bulk and coatings using a modulated photothermal radiometry (MPR) method, where a sample is heated by an…
In a variety of different systems, high-Z ion species show a marked tendency to accumulate in regions of high plasma density. It has previously been suggested that the apparent universality of this behavior could be explained…
In situ thermal transport measurement of flowing fluid could be useful for the characterization and diagnosis of practical thermal systems such as fluid heat exchangers and thermal energy storage systems. Despite abundant reports on the…
Soil assessment is important for mobile robot planning and navigation on natural and planetary environments. Terramechanic characteristics can be inferred from the thermal behaviour of soils under the influence of sunlight using remote…
A p-n junction maintained at above ambient temperature can work as a heat engine, converting some of the supplied heat into electricity and rejecting entropy by interband emission. Such thermoradiative cells have potential to harvest…
