A new CHF mechanism model for a narrow rectangular channel based on bubble dynamics characteristics
Background Narrow rectangular channels are widely used in major thermal flow fields because of the compact structure and large heat transfer area. Purpose This study aims to improve the prediction method of critical heat flux in the ...

ABSTRACT Purpose of Review: Low-grade gliomas present vexing management issues for neuro-oncologists. The relatively long survival compared to other brain tumors makes consideration of treatment toxicity, and thus timing of potentially damaging interventions such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, crucial ...

Pediatric Low-Grade Gliomas [PDF]
Brain tumors constitute the largest source of oncologic mortality in children and low-grade gliomas are among most common pediatric central nervous system tumors. Pediatric low-grade gliomas differ from their counterparts in the adult population in their histopathology, genetics, and standard of care.

Confinement and Graded Partition Functions for $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM [PDF]
Gauge theories with confining phases at low temperatures tend to deconfine at high temperatures. In some cases, for example in supersymmetric theories, confinement can persist for all temperatures provided the partition function includes a grading by $(-1)^F$.

African American men with low-grade prostate cancer have increased disease recurrence after prostatectomy compared with Caucasian men. [PDF]
PURPOSE: To explore whether disparities in outcomes exist between African American (AA) and Caucasian (CS) men with low-grade prostate cancer and similar cancer of the prostate risk assessment-postsurgery (CAPRA-S) features following prostatectomy (RP ...

Conformally Graded Metamaterials for Elastic Wave Guidance [PDF]
Although metamaterials have been widely used for controlling elastic waves through bandgap engineering, the directed guidance of stress waves in non-periodic structures has remained a challenge. This work demonstrates that spatially graded metamaterials based on conformal mappings present a rich design space for controlling and attenuating wave motion -

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Merging Recycling Methods for Spent Lithium Ion Batteries
An urgent demand for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is expected in the forthcoming years due to the rapid growth of electrical vehicles (EV). To address these issues, various technologies such as the pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical

Relative impacts of different grade-scales on student success in introductory physics [PDF]
In deciding on a student's grade in a class, an instructor generally needs to combine many individual grading judgments into one overall judgment. Two relatively common numerical scales used to specify individual grades are the 4-point scale (where each whole number 0-4 corresponds to a letter grade) and the percent scale (where letter grades A through
