Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Measurement method for T-h properties of phase change material

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2023
In this study, a simple and inexpensive T-h property measurement method was proposed for measuring the temperature and specific enthalpy of a flat plate phase change material (PCM) by cooling and heating it under adiabatic conditions on one side and ...

Structure optimization of a phase change material integrated solar air collector/storage unit based upon phase change analysis

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2021
A phase change material (PCM) integrated solar air collector/storage unit (SACSU) for mid-temperature applications was proposed in the study. The composite PCM with expanded graphite (EG) in mass fraction of 3% was prepared to enhance the thermal ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Broadband Reflective Optical Limiter Using GST Phase Change Material

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
We experimentally demonstrate a thermally induced reflective optical limiter using Ge $_2$Sb$_2$ Te$_5$ (GST) and SiO $_2$ in a multilayer photonic bandgap edge-filter configuration. In the PASS state, greater than 80% transmission was achieved at

Numerical simulation of a phase change material melting process [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
Storage processes are usually integrated in solar energy systems applications due to daily variation of this energy source availability. Among different thermal storage solutions, phase change materials (PCM) lately became more extensively used covering ...

The Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Childhood Cancer Survival: A Population‐Based Assessment of Survival Patterns Between 2015 and 2023 in Germany

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Numerous international studies have reported declines in new cancer diagnoses, delayed diagnoses and disruptions in cancer treatment following the implementation of COVID‐19 pandemic public health measures, raising concerns that these effects may ultimately contribute to increased cancer mortality.

Thermal Irreversibility in Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Material Liquefaction

open access: yesFluids
Inside a closed, thin-walled hollow cylinder, there is a solid state of phase change material (NePCM) that has been nano-enhanced. This NePCM is heated at its bottom, with nanoparticles (Al2O3) inserted and homogenized within the PCM (sodium acetate ...

Phase Change Material in Glazing Windows System: A Review [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal
As far as thermal insulation is concerned, phase change materials (PCM) have a very good potential to be excellent insulation materials due to their thermal properties like low thermal conductivity and high latent heat.
