Heat Conduction of Air in Nano Spacing [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2009 The scale effect of heat conduction of air in nano spacing (NS) is very important for nanodevices to improve their life and efficiency. By constructing a special technique, the changes of heat conduction of air were studied by means of measuring the heat

A Novel Water Method for Reducing Air Conduction in Soft Tissue Conduction [PDF]
Audiology ResearchBackground: Bone vibrator (BV) stimulation applied to skin sites on the body elicits hearing by soft tissue conduction (STC). However, BV stimulation to sites far from the ear requires the delivery of higher-intensity stimulus vibrations to achieve ...

Bone-conduction threshold and air-bone gap may predict frequency-specific air-conduction threshold after tympanoplasty. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Postoperative hearing improvement is one of the main expectations for patients receiving tympanoplasty. The capacity to predict postoperative hearing may help to counsel a patient properly and avoid untoward expectations.

How Is the Cochlea Activated in Response to Soft Tissue Auditory Stimulation in the Occluded Ear?
Audiology Research, 2021 Soft tissue conduction is an additional mode of auditory stimulation which can be initiated either by applying an external vibrator to skin sites not overlying skull bone such as the neck (so it is not bone conduction) or by intrinsic body vibrations ...
