Experimental characterization of a commercial TEG device under mimicked operating conditions.

A long-standing= 1 barrier is still present in commercial thermoelectric generator devices (TEG) and is typically not overcome. Although it is possible to accept the current limits of such devices, the performances reported on the datasheets are frequently not obtainable when these thermoelectric devices are arranged for use in the actual operating conditions. Despite this, the current primary energy prices and ongoing climate change make their use attractive for many industrial sectors.

Calorimetric analysis of ice onset temperature during cryoablation: a model approach to identify early predictors of effective applications.

Aim of the present study is to analyze thermal events occurring during cryoablation. Different bovine liver samples underwent freezing cycles at different cooling rate (from 0.0075 to 25 K/min).

Experimental Investigation on Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity of Ex-Vivo Bovine Liver from Room Temperature down to -60 °C.

Ex vivo animal tissues (e.g., bovine liver) as well as water-agar gel are commonly used to simulate both experimentally and numerically the response of human tissues to cryoablation treatments.

Surface-immobilized pyridine-functionalized gamma-cyclodextrin: alkanethiol co-adsorption-induced reorientation.

Monolayers of di-6A,6B-deoxy-6-(4-pyridylmethyl)amino-gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD-(py)2) have been formed on polycrystalline platinum electrodes and investigated using electrochemical and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The behavior of self-assembled monolayers of (gamma-CD-(py)2) alone, (gamma-CD-(py)2) backfilled with 1-nonanethiol, and 1-nonanethiol are reported. The potential dependence of the capacitance indicates that the film capacitance is higher for the backfilled CD layers than for 1-nonanethiol layers, most likely due to ion flux through the CD cavity.
