Non-contact laser-ultrasonic subsurface thermography using waveform inversion by Hu, Lei

“…Conventional thermography methods in non-destructive testing, for example, infrared thermography, are applicable only to map the surface temperature which could not estimate the positions of the subsurface defects caused by high temperature. There has been some development of internal thermal imaging techniques in the medical field based on magnetic-resonance (MR) and X-ray. …”

Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…The best source of data for understanding potential damage from lava flows is empirical impact data collected during past events; however, buildings or infrastructure in contact with lava have commonly been assumed to be completely destroyed. This means that tools used to forecast impact (such as fragility functions relating hazard intensity to damage probability) are binary: in contact with lava results in complete destruction, not in contact with lava results in no damage. …”

Biomolecular hydration in protein-protein interaction, protein stability and aggregation and lead optimization : computational studies by Mohan Rajan Pradhan

“…"JAL‟ provides 3 novel utilities that have not yet been reported in other software packages: (1) computation of residence times of waters which are then used to rapidly identify water bridges involving multiple waters (2) rapid computation of buried waters in an explicit solvent MD trajectory using a novel “evaporation” technique and (3) a structure based search to compute the likelihood of favorably displacing interfacial waters; this method contrasts well with other available sophisticated but computationally expensive free energy methods. …”
