“Wax-sealed” theranostic nanoplatform for enhanced afterglow imaging-guided photothermally triggered photodynamic therapy by Liu, Gongyuan, Zhang, Shichao, Shi, Yunhao, Huang, Xiaoyu, Tang, Yunyun, Chen, Peng, Si, Weili, Huang, Wei, Dong, Xiaochen

“…The seal prevents luminescence quenching and premature initiation of photodynamic therapy (PDT), until it is melted down by heat stimulus. After photothermal activation, the near‐infrared afterglow offered by PLNPs provides imaging with high signal‐to‐background ratio because of the absence of tissue autofluorescence, as well as continuously excited photosensitizer for reactive oxygen species generation. …”

Notes on Thermodynamics : Hot Oolong Cools / by Kang, Hway Chuan, author 655469, World Scientific (Online service) 655444

“…The book examines the thermodynamics of hydrogen and gasoline engines, fuel cells versus the explosive combustion of hydrogen, how efficiently organisms and Spiderman utilize energy, the fizzing of a can of soda and decompression sickness, and how atmospheric carbon dioxide affects ocean pH and, worryingly, dissolves the calcium carbonate shells of marine animals, and also, what might happen if you inadvertently fall into a salt lake. Thermodynamics is presented as the macroscopic approach to understanding Nature when heat is involved. …”
