The use of a novel gradient heat flux sensor for characterization of reflux condensation [PDF]
Nucl. Eng. Des. 395, 111885 (2022), 2022 In this paper we present the developments in heat flux measurements using gradient heat flux sensors (GHFS). The GHFS is a sensor made of artificially created material with anisotropic thermo-electrical properties. Its properties including small size, robustness and low response time make it a valuable addition for characterizing heat flux in space ...

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2017 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common condition and affects approximately 7-20% of the pediatric population. Symptoms from pathological GERD include regurgitation, irritability when feeding, respiratory problems, and substernal pain. Treatment typically starts with dietary modifications and postural changes. Antireflux medications may

Vesicoureteral Reflux Detection with Reliable Probabilistic Outputs [PDF]
Information Sciences, Volume 308, Pages 113-124, 2015, 2023 Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is a pediatric disorder in which urine flows backwards from the bladder to the upper urinary tract. Its detection is of great importance as it increases the risk of a Urinary Tract Infection, which can then lead to a kidney infection since bacteria may have direct access to the kidneys.

Mechanics Informed Fluoroscopy of Esophageal Transport [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology. 20 (2021) 925-940, 2020 Fluoroscopy is a radiographic procedure for evaluating esophageal disorders such as achalasia, dysphasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It performs dynamic imaging of the swallowing process and provides anatomical detail and a qualitative idea of how well swallowed fluid is transported through the esophagus.
