Comment on Photothermal radiometry parametric identifiability theory for reliable and unique nondestructive coating thickness and thermophysical measurements, J. Appl. Phys. 121(9), 095101 (2017) [PDF]
A recent paper [X. Guo, A. Mandelis, J. Tolev and K. Tang, J. Appl. Phys., 121, 095101 (2017)] intends to demonstrate that from the photothermal radiometry signal obtained on a coated opaque sample in 1D transfer, one should be able to identify ...

Hard X-ray identification of Eta Carinae and steadiness close to periastron [PDF]
Context: The colliding-wind binary Eta Car exhibits soft X-ray thermal emission that varies strongly around periastron, and non-thermal emission seen in hard X-rays and gamma-rays.

Optimization-based design of a heat flux concentrator [PDF]
To gain control over the diffusive heat flux in a given domain, one needs to engineer a thermal metamaterial with a specific distribution of the generally anisotropic thermal conductivity throughout the domain.

The so-called quasi-Bell entangled coherent states in a thermal environment are studied. In the analysis, we assume thermal noise affects only one of the two modes of each state.

Ab initio based thermal property predictions at a low cost : an error analysis [PDF]
Ab initio calculations often do not straightforwardly yield the thermal properties of a material yet. It requires considerable computational efforts, for example, to predict the volumetric thermal expansion coefficient alpha(V) or the melting temperature

Error compensation for thermally induced errors on a machine tool [PDF]
Heat flow from internal and external sources and the environment create machine deformations, resulting in positioning errors between the tool and workpiece. There is no industrially accepted method for thermal error compensation. A simple model has been selected that linearly relates discrete temperature measurements to the deflection.

Compensation of Static and Transient Thermal Errors on CMMs
Abstract Using CMMs under normal workshop conditions necessitates to take into account the influence of environmental temperature on the machine structure. Non-standardised environmental conditions result in temperature dependent measurement errors.

Moduli decay in the hot early Universe [PDF]
We consider moduli fields interacting with thermalized relativistic matter. We determine the temperature dependence of their damping rate and find it is dominated by thermal effects in the high temperature regime, i.e.

ThermalSim: A Thermal Simulator for Error Analysis
Researchers have extensively explored predictive control strategies for controlling heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units in commercial buildings. Predictive control strategies, however, critically rely on weather and occupancy forecasts.
