    LAMINAR FORCED CONVECTION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IN A SQUARE DUCT HEAT EXCHANGER PLACED WITH WAVY THIN RIB

    Amnart Boonloia, Withada Jedsadaratanachaib,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 1-15, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.15.13

    Abstract Simulated examinations on convective heat transfer and flow topology in a square duct heat exchanger placed with wavy thin rib (WTR) are presented. The influences of WTR heights, pitch distances and flow directions on flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated for the laminar flow regime at the inlet condition (Re = 100 – 2000). The finite volume method (SIMPLE algorithm) is picked to analyze the numerical problem. The numerical validations; grid independence and verification of the smooth duct, are presented. The simulated results of the heat exchanger duct placed with WTR are reported in terms of flow and heat… More >

    Développement et évaluation d’un programme d’entraînement à la communication hypnotique à destination des infirmières en oncologie pédiatrique : la formation Rel@x

    D. Ogez, J. Aramideh, E. Rondeau, T. Mizrahi, M.-C. Charest , C. Plante, M. Duval, S. Sultan

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.16, No.1, pp. 199-205, 2022, DOI:10.3166/pson-2022-0185

    Abstract Children with cancer are frequently confronted with painful procedures during their course of care. To support them during their treatment, communication techniques derived from hypnosis have shown excellent results in reducing the distress and pain associated with these procedures. We conducted a preliminary study evaluating the effects of hypnotic communication training on nurses’ practice during painful procedures with children with cancer. The results showed good acquisition of the techniques by the nurses and the significant effects of these techniques on the children’s pain and distress levels. This study also provided recommendations for improving the training to develop a simpler design… More >

    Interventional Studies in Psycho-Oncology: Development, Evaluation, and Implementation in Clinical Practice

    K. Lamore, D. Ogez

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.16, No.1, pp. 166-172, 2022, DOI:10.3166/pson-2022-0182

    Abstract This article discusses the methods used to develop, evaluate, and implement new psycho-oncology interventions in clinical practice. In this regard, two world-widely used models are presented to provide scientific insight to the different actors involved in the research. Interventional research concerns clinicians, researchers, institutional actors, and patients to develop new projects using methodological rigor and to improve the conditions of patients and relatives.

    Liquid biopsy and blood-based minimal residual disease evaluation in multiple myeloma

    ALESSANDRO GOZZETTI*, MONICA BOCCHIA

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.3, pp. 271-274, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.028668

    Abstract Novel drug availability has increased the depth of response and revolutionised the outcomes of multiple myeloma patients. Minimal residual disease evaluation is a surrogate for progression-free survival and overall survival and has become widely used not-only in clinical trials but also in daily patient management. Bone marrow aspiration is the gold standard for response evaluation, but due to the patchy nature of myeloma, false negatives are possible. Liquid biopsy and blood-based minimal residual disease evaluation consider circulating plasma cells, mass spectrometry or circulating tumour DNA. This approach is less invasive, can provide a more comprehensive picture of the disease and… More >

    Vers une mesure des « vides alimentaires dans un contexte urbain hétérogène

    Réflexion méthodologique et application à Lyon-Saint-Étienne

    Luc Merchez1 , Hélène Mathian2 , Julie Le Gall3

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.30, No.1, pp. 85-104, 2020, DOI:10.3166/rig.2020.00103

    Abstract The issue of food and characterization of food environments has been the subject of many studies and methodological developments to report and account for accessibility differentials. In the United States most studies are interested in this question with regard to health issues and have led to identify “food deserts”. As part of a project for which the main goal is to explore the transferability of this notion to other spaces, with a broader perspective on spatial justice, we propose a generic framework to shed light on this highly spatial question, generally addressed by qualitative (surveys, interviews) or quantitative methods (GIS-based… More >

    Visualization for Explanation of Deep Learning-Based Defect Detection Model Using Class Activation Map

    Hyunkyu Shin1, Yonghan Ahn2, Mihwa Song3, Heungbae Gil3, Jungsik Choi4,*, Sanghyo Lee5,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.3, pp. 4753-4766, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.038362

    Abstract Recently, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based visual inspection has been developed to detect defects on building surfaces automatically. The CNN model demonstrates remarkable accuracy in image data analysis; however, the predicted results have uncertainty in providing accurate information to users because of the “black box” problem in the deep learning model. Therefore, this study proposes a visual explanation method to overcome the uncertainty limitation of CNN-based defect identification. The visual representative gradient-weights class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) method is adopted to provide visually explainable information. A visualizing evaluation index is proposed to quantitatively analyze visual representations; this index reflects a rough estimate… More >

    Google Scholar University Ranking Algorithm to Evaluate the Quality of Institutional Research

    Noor Ul Sabah1, Muhammad Murad Khan1,*, Ramzan Talib1, Muhammad Anwar2, Muhammad Sheraz Arshad Malik3, Puteri Nor Ellyza Nohuddin4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.3, pp. 4955-4972, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.037436

    Abstract Education quality has undoubtedly become an important local and international benchmark for education, and an institute’s ranking is assessed based on the quality of education, research projects, theses, and dissertations, which has always been controversial. Hence, this research paper is influenced by the institutes ranking all over the world. The data of institutes are obtained through Google Scholar (GS), as input to investigate the United Kingdom’s Research Excellence Framework (UK-REF) process. For this purpose, the current research used a Bespoke Program to evaluate the institutes’ ranking based on their source. The bespoke program requires changes to improve the results by… More >

    PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A SOLAR WATER HEATER INTEGRATED WITH BUILT-IN THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE VIA POROUS MEDIA

    Hasan S. Majdia,*, Azher M. Abedb, Laith J. Habeebc

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.17, No.1, pp. 1-7, 2021, DOI:10.5098/hmt.17.6

    Abstract The present work presents and analyzes the results acquired from outdoor experimental measurements of a solar latent heat storage unit integrated with built-in thermal energy storage at the presence and absence of porous media. The tank consists of a porous media part, a packed of glass beds, and the fluid flowing through the void space surrounding the porous glass beds. The porous tanks were filled by 1.68 mm glass beds to form bed heights (h) of 10 and 20 cm. Results show that the maximum thermal storage of 110 min is achieved in hot flow rate qh=4 LPM, cold flow… More >

    EVALUATION OF THE USE OF CONSTRAINTS IN STEP-BY-STEP ALGORITHMS FOR THE SOLUTION OF A 2D INVERSE HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEM

    Rodrigo Vidonscky Pintoa , Flávio Augusto Sanzovo Fiorellib,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.19, No.1, pp. 1-10, 2022, DOI:10.5098/hmt.19.30

    Abstract The present paper provides a discussion about the use of constraints in step-by-step optimization algorithms used for the solution of a twodimensional inverse heat transfer problem containing a modeling error. It is observed that the unrestricted algorithms provided better estimates to the power map and the introduction of constraints is harmful to the solution of the inverse heat transfer problem, reducing the area in which this solution approaches the actual heat sources distribution, due to the solution of the unrestricted problem adopting negative values in restricted areas, which compensate the high sensitivity of this problem and consequently provide improved solutions.
