Apr 28, 2021
We recently found a negative association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of localised prostate cancer (PCa), no association with advanced PCa, and a positive association with PCa-specific mortality. In a 15%...

Simultaneous two-phase flame velocity measurement using laser-induced incandescence particle image velocimetry (LII-PIV)
In a previous study we demonstrated a novel two-phase PIV technique based on
the laser-induced incandescence (LII) signal from black submicron tungsten carbide
particles (WC), which achieved velocity measurement for both...
