Control of the therapeutic temperature is essential in performing magnetic fluid hyperthermia. Thus, reliable predictions of the power dissipation are required to determine the correct dosage of magnetic particles to be injected into the cancerous tissue prior to treatment. To meet this requirement, the present study evaluates the power dissipation requirement for two magnetic hyperthermia problems reported in the literature. There is a significant challenge for solving the bio-heat transfer model for concentric bi-layered solid spheres. Consequently, the present study employs a hybrid technique based on Laplace transformation and a modified discretization scheme to solve the considered hyperthermia problems. Analytical solutions are provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach. The unreliability of the results presented in the literature is then demonstrated using the proposed numerical scheme. In general, the results presented in this study show that the power dissipation required to maintain an effective temperature range in the tumor domain is related to the rate of temperature rise, the tumor size, the blood perfusion rate, and the tissue properties. In particular, the power dissipation should be increased for the cooling effect of blood perfusion or a smaller tumor volume.

To address the challenges related to active power dissipation and node voltage fluctuation in the practical transformation of power grids in the field of new energy such as wind and photovoltaic power generation, an improved Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm Based on a Hybrid Strategy of Levy Flight and Differential Evolution (LDEDBO) is proposed. This paper systematically addresses this issue from three aspects: firstly, optimizing the DBO algorithm using Chebyshev chaotic mapping, Levy flight strategy, and differential evolution algorithm; secondly, validating the algorithm's feasibility through real-time network reconfiguration at random time points within a 24-h period; and finally, applying the LDEDBO to address the dynamic reconfiguration problems of the IEEE-33 and IEEE-69 node bus. The simulation indicates that the power dissipation of the IEEE-33 node bus is decreased by 28.

Epoxy resin (EP) is an outstanding polymer material known for its low cost, ease of preparation, excellent electrical insulation properties, mechanical strength, and chemical stability. It is widely used in high- and ultra-high-voltage power transmission and transformation equipment. However, as voltage levels continue to increase, EP materials are gradually failing to meet the performance demands of operational environments.

The configuration of ∼46° inclined angle of the mesa/sub-mesa sidewall and Al reflector optimally promotes light extraction of SJ/HV DUV LEDs. We further observe substantial improvements in the self-heating and external quantum efficiency (EQE) droop effects of HV DUV LEDs with an increasing number of sub-mesas.

With the increasing global focus on sustainable materials, paper is favored for its biodegradability and low cost. Their integration with triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) establishes broad prospects for self-powered, paper-based triboelectric materials. However, these materials inherently lack efficient charge storage structures, leading to rapid charge dissipation.
