Calculations wereperformed to illustrate the non-classical transport of heat and moisture. The effect of the heatflux density and the initial moisture content on water removal was also investigated. The resultsindicate that the non-equilibrium mass diffusion plays an important role during the very earlystages of moisture removal, especially at the surface of the medium. Away from the surface, thenon-Fickian model shows a delay in the reduction of the moisture content. The calculation resultsalso show that the initial moisture content of the medium has a considerable effect on waterremoval.展开更多

To reduce cost, more and more radiologic institutions began to change from film copies to lower-priced paper prints for documenting radiologic findings.Therefore, laser paper printers are frequently used as an alternative to duplicating film though the use of printed images is not yet widespread. The aim of this study was to compare the practical value of high-resolution paper printer with dry film copies for detecting small solitary pulmonary nodules （SPNs）.展开更多
