The widely used ice chamber-based cold storage for the transportation and storage of vaccines has several disadvantages, including uncontrolled overall temperature, water accumulation, and frequent ice pack renewal. Therefore, in this work, we numerically studied a novel vaccine storage system by coupling magnetic refrigeration and ice packs developed by conserving the advantages of an ice-based system. A two-dimensional numerical model is developed to analyze the magnetohydrodynamic natural convection in the storage chamber.

The early diagnosis of cancer at any location of the human body can help in enhancing the survival rate and in reducing the cost of the treatment. Among the several techniques, the conventional infra-red (IR) thermography suffers from several limitations, including higher patient discomfort and longer time for tumour detection based on the temperature difference between tumour and adjacent healthy tissues. Hence, in this work, a novel non-invasive hot stress dynamic IR thermography system is proposed to detect surface tumour without severe discomfort to the patient.

Article Synopsis
- The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 remains critical, with vaccine development ongoing and self-isolation being the primary method to curb the virus's spread.
- Health workers are at significant risk of infection while treating COVID-19 patients, prompting the need for enhanced safety systems to eliminate viruses on personal protective equipment (PPE).
- This study proposes a sanitization method using a high-voltage charge generator to create a strong electric field that damages the virus proteins on PPE, rendering them inactive.
