Applications of thermophysical characterization using the 3-omega technique
The 3-omega technique is a commonly used electrothermal technique to characterize thermal conductivity. While most commonly used to characterize isotropic thin films on substrates, the high accuracy and versatility of the technique can be extended to a broader application space, which are explored …

The effects of Omega-3, Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) and Vitamin E on patients with the remitting-relapsing (RR) form of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in Cyprus
… factors and a susceptible genetic background. Omega (ω)-3/ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and some vitamins have been shown to reduce the number and severity of relapses and the overall progression of disability in multiple sclerosis patients, however clinical trials remain inconclusive …

Studies on the Possible Regulatory Function of Dietary Alpha-Linolenic Acid in Prostaglandin Synthesis by Immunocompetent Cells
Alpha-linolenate (18:3(omega)3) and its elongated, desaturated metabolites are known to predominate in certain tissues. The role of essential fatty acid (EFA), and therefore of PGs, in cell-mediated immunity has increasingly become of interest. Prostaglandins have been implicated in many areas of …

Solution Synthesized Nanostructured Thermoelectric Materials
Thermoelectric heat engines are currently used in several niche applications for electricity generation and cooling. Many additional applications would be practical if thermoelectric materials with improved figures of merit could be made. Over the past twenty years, many nanostructured materials …

Anti-cancerous and anti-metastatic effects of Corchorus Olitorius on breast cancer cell lines
… habits were observable, such as the lower omega 3:omega 6 fatty acid ratio in the intakes, rare use of steaming and the predominant use of olive oil as the staple oil in the region. The significance of the present study lies in the preliminary evidence it provides regarding the collective …

A control system viewpoint for manipulating heat equation and maximum entropy principle for design of experiments
… traditionally used open-loop methods such as 3-omega. Further, we present conditions necessary for the estimation of multiple thermal conductivities of a non-homogeneous material. Simulations show that we could successfully increase the bandwidth of the system by 100% through optimal robust …

Effects of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation for pregnant and lactating women in preventing allergic diseases in early childhood
It is postulated that maternal n-3 (omega 3) long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) supplementation may modulate a range of inflammatory and immune pathways involved in the development of allergic diseases in early childhood, potentially leading to a reduction of allergic diseases in …

Development of High-Pressure Calorimetry Techniques and Calorimetry Study of the Heavy-Fermion Superconductor CeSb2
Low-temperature experimentation is crucial to discovery in condensed matter Physics. Novel phenomena often appear at high pressure, which provides unique technical challenges to these measurements. This is especially true for calorimetry studies, for which the ambient pressure technique is …
