An analytic solution is derived for the time-domain thermoreflectance signal that occurs using non-concentric pump and probe beams on multilayer anisotropic materials. When in-plane heat transport is negligible, the experimental signal is the same as for the concentric case. However, for samples where in-plane heat diffusion distances are comparable to the spot size, the signal is sensitive to in-plane heat transport. This sensitivity to in-plane transport can be exploited to measure the in-plane thermal conductivity. Examples with experimental data are given for thin-film Al and the in-plane thermal conductivity of pyrolytic graphite.

: The functional traits of twigs and leaves are closely related to the ability of plants to cope with heterogeneous environments. The analysis of the characteristics of twigs and leaves and leaf thermal dissipation in riparian plants is of great significance for exploring the light energy allocation and ecological adaptation strategies of plant leaves in heterogeneous habitats. However, there are few studies on the correlation between the twig-leaf characteristics of riparian plants and their heat dissipation in light heterogeneous environments.

The process of establishing relay protection and automation (RPA) settings for electric power systems (EPSs) entails complex calculations of operating modes. Traditionally, these calculations are based on symmetrical components, which require the building of equivalent circuits of various sequences. This approach can lead to errors both when identifying the operating modes and when modeling the RPA devices.

Cyclic failure problems in layered ductile iron are evident in a wide range of elements in transportation and mining equipment and depend on production technology and operating conditions. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of residual stresses on the behavior of cyclic and static failure. The stress intensity factor, crack initiation, propagation patterns, static tension diagrams, and fracture behavior of compact tension (CT) specimens were determined.

Background: Migrant construction workers involved in building infrastructure for mega-sporting events face elevated risks of illness and death. However, specific health outcomes for these workers have not been systematically reviewed, limiting opportunities to identify and address their challenges.
Methods: This study systematically reviewed health outcomes among migrant construction workers involved in mega-sporting events.

The safety and health of food have been persistent concerns, particularly about meat products. Low-temperature meat products refer to those that are processed at lower temperatures. Meat, rich in proteins and other nutrients, is highly susceptible to microbial contamination, leading to spoilage, particularly when processed at lower temperatures that increase storage and transportation requirements.
