    Abstract Estimated at more than 2.2 million cases worldwide, most breast cancer cases and deaths from breast cancer occur in low and middle-income countries. In Cameroon, many studies have underlined the effect of knowledge of breast cancer on screening measures such as self-examination and, to a lesser extent, the perception of the threat of this disease. This research aims to assess according to the Health Belief Model (HBM), the moderating effect of perceived threat of breast cancer on the relation between knowledge and breast self-examination. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 517 Cameroonian women to assess their general knowledge about breast… More >

    Melanie Patricka, Messiha Saada,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.4, pp. 1-8, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.4.3007

    Abstract Thermal characterization is essential to the proper assignment of composites to specific applications. Specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity are critical in the engineering design process and in the analysis of aerospace vehicles, space systems, power generation, transportation systems, and energy storage devices including fuel cells. This paper examines the thermal properties through the thickness of Carbon-Carbon and the impact of Graphitization is explored. Following ASTM standards, the Flash Method and Differential Scanning Calorimetry measured thermal diffusivity and specific heat respectively. These measurements and density data allowed for the computation of thermal conductivity. More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.21, pp. 505-522, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2023.044300

    Abstract In current study, the influence of magnetic field (MHD) on heat transfer of natural convection boundary layer flow in Casson ternary hybrid nanofluid past a stretching sheet is studied using numerical simulation. The Newtonian heating boundary conditions that depend on the temperature and velocity terms are taken into this investigation. The particular dimensional governing equations, for the studied problem, are converted to the system of partial differential equations utilizing adequate similarity transformation. Consequently, the system of equations is numerically solved using well-known Kellar box numerical techniques. The obtained numerical results are in excellent approval with previous literature results. The existence… More >

    Automatic Examination of Condition of Used Books with YOLO-Based Object Detection Framework

    Sumin Hong1, Jin-Woo Jeong2,*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 1611-1632, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.038319

    Abstract As the demand for used books has grown in recent years, various online/offline market platforms have emerged to support the trade in used books. The price of used books can depend on various factors, such as the state of preservation (i.e., condition), the value of possession, and so on. Therefore, some online platforms provide a reference document to evaluate the condition of used books, but it is still not trivial for individual sellers to determine the price. The lack of a standard quantitative method to assess the condition of the used book would confuse both sellers and consumers, thereby decreasing… More >

    Brigitta Munkácsi1,*, Enikő Felszeghy1, Flóra Kenyhercz2, Beáta Erika Nagy1

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.8, pp. 961-969, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.027319

    Abstract The most common comorbid psychiatric disorders in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are depression, anxiety and behavioral disorders. Patients with comorbid psychopathology are less capable of psychically adjusting to the new life situation resulting from T1DM, which may negatively affect glycemic control and adherence related to the treatment. We aimed to investigate the association between mental health and type 1 diabetes including illness representation. 115 children and adolescents with T1DM were recruited through the outpatient clinic in Debrecen, Hungary. Measures: PRISM-D, Child Depression Inventory (CDI), Cantril Ladder and Self-Rated Health, Glycosylaeted haemoglobin (HbA1C) were measured. Children having depressive… More > Graphic Abstract

    COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ROTATING FLOW OF A UCM NANOLIQUID OVER AN EXPONENTIALLY STRETCHABLE CONVECTIVE SURFACE UTILIZING THE OPTIMAL HOMOTOPY ANALYSIS METHOD

    K.V. Prasada, Hanumesh Vaidyaa,*, O. D. Makindeb , K. Vajraveluc , A. Wakifd , Hussain Bashaa

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.14, pp. 1-12, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.14.11

    Abstract This article explores the three-dimensional (3D) rotating flow of Upper Convected Maxwell (UCM) nanoliquid over an exponentially stretching sheet with a convective boundary condition and zero mass flux for the nanoparticles concentration. The impacts of velocity slip and hall current are being considered. The suitable similarity transformations are employed to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones. These systems of equations are highly non-linear, coupled and in turn solved by an efficient semi-analytical scheme known as optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM). The effects of various physical constraints on velocity, temperature, and concentration fields are analyzed graphically and discussed… More >

    Abstract The lungs are the main fundamental part of the human respiratory system and are among the major organs of the human body. Lung disorders, including Coronavirus (Covid-19), are among the world’s deadliest and most life-threatening diseases. Early and social distance-based detection and treatment can save lives as well as protect the rest of humanity. Even though X-rays or Computed Tomography (CT) scans are the imaging techniques to analyze lung-related disorders, medical practitioners still find it challenging to analyze and identify lung cancer from scanned images. unless COVID-19 reaches the lungs, it is unable to be diagnosed. through these modalities.

    Ali Raza1,*, Emad E. Mahmoud2, A. M. Al-Bugami2, Dumitru Baleanu3,4, Muhammad Rafiq5, Muhammad Mohsin6, Muneerah Al Nuwairan7

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.3, pp. 5293-5310, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.024535

    Abstract Pine wilt is a dramatic disease that kills infected trees within a few weeks to a few months. The cause is the pathogen Pinewood Nematode. Most plant-parasitic nematodes are attached to plant roots, but pinewood nematodes are found in the tops of trees. Nematodes kill the tree by feeding the cells around the resin ducts. The modeling of a pine wilt disease is based on six compartments, including three for plants (susceptible trees, exposed trees, and infected trees) and the other for the beetles (susceptible beetles, exposed beetles, and infected beetles). The deterministic modeling, along with subpopulations, is based on… More >
