A return to normality: A descriptive qualitative interview study exploring the patient experience of gout flare resolution

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives While the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...

Heat Transistor: Demonstration of Gate-Controlled Electron Refrigeration [PDF]

, 2007
We present experiments on a superconductor-normal metal electron refrigerator in a regime where single-electron charging effects are significant. The system functions as a heat transistor, i.e., the heat flux out from the normal metal island can be ...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Alumina: Effects of Scanning Strategies on External and Internal Defects

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates how scanning strategies affect pure alumina in laser powder bed fusion. Linear 45° scanning yields uniform surfaces but high porosity, while the island‐concentric strategy provides higher density with through‐holes favorable for infiltration. Findings highlight pathways toward optimizing defect‐free alumina parts.

Spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and driving factors of heat island effect based on territorial perspective: A case study of Beibu Gulf urban agglomeration, China

Ecological Indicators
The heat island effect has far-reaching impacts on human settlements and natural ecosystems. Current research predominantly focuses on urban areas and overlooks the broader natural ecosystems beyond urban boundaries.

Thermal conductance of a proximity superconductor [PDF]

, 2010
We study heat transport in hybrid normal metal - superconductor - normal metal (NSN) structures. We find the thermal conductance of a short superconducting wire to be strongly enhanced beyond the BCS value due to inverse proximity effect.

Research on Urban Heat-Island Effect

Procedia Engineering, 2016
Urban heat island (UHI) effect is a kind of heat accumulation phenomenon within urban area due to urban construction and human activities. It is recognized as the most evident characteristic of urban climate. The increase of land surface temperature caused by UHI effect will definitely influence material flow and energy flow in urban ecological systems,

Thermomechanical Fatigue and Creep–Fatigue Interaction of Inconel 718 Additively Manufactured by Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Thermomechanical fatigue tests of laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) Inconel 718 show that the additively manufactured material reaches almost the lifetimes of conventionally‐rolled material under no‐dwell conditions. Introducing dwell times at the maximum temperature markedly reduces the lifetimes due to pronounced grain boundary sliding associated

The diurnal evolution of the urban heat island of Paris: a model-based case study during Summer 2006 [PDF]

, 2013
The urban heat island (UHI) over Paris during summer 2006 was simulated using the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) updated with a simple urban parametrization at a horizontal resolution of 1 km.
