Comparative studies on the well-known Pennes' equation and the newly developed thermal wave model of bioheat transfer (TWMBT) were performed to investigate the wave like behaviors of bioheat transfer occurred in thermal injury of biological bodies. The one-dimensional TWMBT in a finite medium was solved using separation of variables and the analytical solution showed distinctive wave behaviors of ...Show More
Surface flashover on insulating materials is likely to occur in composite apparatuses in overvoltage situations. In order to investigate the surface characteristics of epoxy resin (EP) materials, before and after flashover, microsecond pulses were applied to simulate transient overvoltage situations in a power system. Within the SF6 filled experimental chamber, pulse voltages with a frequency of 5...Show More
The origin of electrical burns under gel-type surface electrodes is a controversial topic that is not well understood. To investigate the phenomenon, we have developed an excised porcine skin-gel model, and used low-frequency current density imaging (LFCDI) to determine the current density (CD) distribution through the skin before and after burns were induced by application of electrical current (...Show More
The quantification of contact burn injury risk is an important part of many product development cycles and hazard assessments for industrial processes. Two well-known standards relied upon for performing these assessments are primarily based on experiments conducted in the 1940s. Partially due to the manner in which these experiments were conducted, the standards implicitly make the assumption tha...Show More
The risk of cutaneous burn is usually assessed by comparing the temperatures measured at external surfaces when the equipment is operated as intended under ambient conditions specified by the manufacturer, with the thresholds established by experimental results in delicate laboratory environments. In the real world ambient air temperature varies with geographical location, the time of the year and...Show More
A simple yet an effective approach for the non-destructive testing of the occurrence of the grinding burn on the workpieces during and post grinding process using a stand-alone optical sensor is proposed. The fact of grinding burn deteriorating the surface morphology is exploited by an optical sensor set-up for the quantification and non-destructive detection of the grinding burn. Reference grindi...Show More
Touchable parts of electrical products and equipment can be thermally hot. Unintentional contact with hot surfaces during the normal operations of products may cause burns, and severity depends on the thermal resistivity of the material of the exposed part, the contact duration, the contact pressure, and skin conditions (i.e., dry, water wet, etc.). Currents flowing through equipment surfaces due ...Show More

Several deaths every year are caused by burns. On the occurrence of the burn injury, the first crucial response is to provide the appropriate treatment to the victim's injury and it may require consulting an experts or specialist of burn center. However, the number of burn centers or burn care units are very limited. People in remote areas, rural or hilly regions have to travel long distances in s...Show More
Temperature evolution and skin burn process resulting from a laser radiation exposure are investigated in this paper. Transient temperature in skin is numerically estimated using a 1-D multilayered model based on Penne's equation. The degree of burn injury is numerically evaluated by using an Arrhenius-type function. Unfortunately, most of the mathematical model parameters are not well defined in ...Show More
Tremendous resources are being invested in arc flash studies and personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect workers from “arc flash” hazards. In the flurry to comply with OSHA regulations and NFPA 70 and 70E standards, the real understanding of the arc hazard and incident energy may be lagging behind. The term “arc flash” does not adequately convey the range of potential arc hazards-light, pre...Show More
Skin burns below ground pads during monopolar RF ablation are increasingly prevalent, thereby hindering the development of higher power RF generators capable of creating larger tumor ablation zones in combination with multiple or new applicators. Our goal was to evaluate reduction in skin temperatures via additional ground pads in an in vivo porcine model. Three ground pads placed on the animal's ...Show More
This study is devoted to the question if cold excitation may be effectively used in active dynamic thermal imaging for diagnostics of burn depth. The experiments on animals show quantitatively the reaction of healthy and burned pigskin to forced external cold excitation using cryogenic CO2 rehabilitation instrumentation. The study allows for comparison of thermal transients at the surface of the p...Show More
This paper focused on studying the effect of diode laser on the burn healing. The study is based on using 32 mature, male albino mice divided into four groups, all groups were burned using an electrical soldering unit on the back of each mouse for five seconds to create a 3rd degree burn of 1 cm in length. Two groups were treated with diode laser. The first group (S1) is treated with 785nm, 3.5mW ...Show More
Burn wounds resulting from thermal insult to the skin are typically classified according to varying depth and therefore require differential levels of medical intervention. In this paper, two methods are proposed for assessing burn injury. The two methods compared are photometric stereo (PS) and spectral analysis. Firstly, PS represents a robust topography recovery algorithm that is implemented to...Show More

A serious problem in emergency medicine is the correct evaluation of skin burn depth to make the appropriate choice of treatment. In clinical practice, there is no difficulty in classifying first- and third-degree burns correctly. However, differentiation between the IIa (superficial dermal) and IIb (deep dermal) wounds is problematic even for experienced practitioners. In this work, the use of su...Show More

Land Surface Temperature (LST) plays a significant role in detecting surficial anomalies such as sudden fire outbreak, geothermal leakage, volcanic activities etc. In this study, an attempt has been made to analyze the Baghjan oilfield blowout and its local impact using remote sensing as a tool. The blowout occurred due to hydrocarbon leakage on 27th May, 2020 in well-5 located at Tinsukhia distri...Show More
By arranging multiple detection nodes around the rocket motor, the attenuation information of electromagnetic waves can be obtained. One node is used to transmit terahertz signals, and the others are used to receive the transmitted signal that penetrate the solid propellant. The signal is transmitted to the PC, and combined with technology of tomographic imaging to image the propellant burning sur...Show More
The aim of this paper is to determine the extent to which infrared (IR) thermal imaging may be used for skin burn depth evaluation. The analysis can be made on the basis of the development of a thermal model of the burned skin. Different methods such as the traditional clinical visual approach and the IR imaging modalities of static IR thermal imaging, active IR thermal imaging and active-dynamic ...Show More
The homogeneous linewidth of two inhomogeneous media is investigated by Spectral Hole Burning in resonant excitation conditions for the purpose of dual-frequency VECSEL engineering. We performed Spectral Hole Burning experiments on InAs/InP Quantum Dashes and Quantum Dots, as well as on InGaAs/InP Quantum Wells to get a reference of homogeneous behavior.

By optimizing the structure of single-mode VCSEL with Zn-diffusion apertures inside, we can effectively suppress the spatial-hole-burning effect and achieve a record-high SM output power of 16 mW, heavy damping E-O frequency response, and a wide 3-dB bandwidth as 18 GHz for 32 Gbit/sec transmissions.Show More
We developed a 94 GHz reflectometer for imaging skin burns under near-field conditions. Porcine skin was used as a surrogate for human skin. We validated Jackson's model and imaged burned letters. These experiments demonstrate the feasibility of this technology in assisting doctors with the analysis of second and third-degree burns.Show More
Recent climate trends evidence a rise of temperatures and an increase in the duration and intensity of droughts which is in turn leading to the occurrence of larger wildfires, which threaten the environment as well as human lives and beings. In this context, improved wildfires prediction tools are urgently needed. In this paper, the use of remotely sensed soil moisture data as a key variable in th...Show More
