Ultrasound is an attractive modality for temperature monitoring because it is non-ionizing,
convenient, inexpensive and has relatively simple signal processing requirements. This …

Among men who experience prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) failure after external beam
radiation or brachytherapy (RT), many will harbor occult micrometastases; however, a …

We propose and characterize oil-in-gelatin dispersions that approximate the dispersive
dielectric properties of a variety of human soft tissues over the microwave frequency range …

A method for conformal prostate thermal therapy using transurethral ultrasound heating
applicators incorporating planar transducers is described. The capability to shape heating …

Computer games, predominantly a form of interactive entertainment, have been repurposed
for game-based learning in recent years. Many studies have presented the educational …

While mathematically sophisticated methods can be used to better understand and improve
processes, the nonlinear nature of food processing models can make their dynamic …

Purpose: High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is used during hyperthermia cancer
treatment to increase the tumour temperature. For an adequate and safe application it is …

Interstitial microwave thermal therapy may be an effective alternative to surgery for the
treatment of some solid tumours. Arrays of helical antennae can produce complex heating …

Nitric oxide (NO), which is produced from l‐arginine by three isoforms of NO synthase
(NOS), has been implicated in reproductive functions. However, the specific role of NOS …

The minimum principal of Pontryagin is used solve an optimal control problem for heating a
