Effective Thermal Properties of Granular Porous Media: A Numerical Study using Lattice Blotzmann Methods
… biological sciences, to name a few. Effective thermal conductivity in granular porous media is a function of morphological features of the medium such as grain shape, grain size, and geometrical structure. Thermal contact resistance can also affect heat conduction due to topological features …

The Influence of Thermal and Physical Characteristics of Buildings on Overwintering Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs (Halyomorpha halys)
… heated sections, bugs did not respond to thermal contrast but rather immediately walked off of the wall. In the indoor forced choice test, a box of four cavity walls was used. Bugs did not respond to the heated sections in either the adjacent or opposite configuration. Thermal simulation …

The Genetics Of Mosquito Heat-Seeking Behavior
… Aedes aegypti are exquisitely sensitive to thermal contrast, and are capable of heat-seeking in diverse ambient environmental temperatures. By seeking relative warmth and avoiding relative cool, mosquitoes can thermotax towards heated targets. However, mosquitoes also avoid stimuli …

A comparative study on the effect of acid preparation methodologies on bulk organic materials, and a long-core geochemical palaeoenvironmental reconstruction from South China.
… suggest a change in the strength of the land-sea thermal contrast in south China, implying a shift in mosiutre source region.

Intelligent Non-destructive Measurement and Evaluation Techniques for Aircraft Composites
… the thermography methods based on the thermal contrast are strongly affected by non-uniform heating which due to the heat source alignment and specimen thickness variation. The proposed polynomial curve fitting and surface fitting techniques were applied to eliminate the non-uniform …

The Hydroclimate Variability of Central Africa: seasonal cycle, mechanisms, teleconnections and impacts on neighbouring regions
… there is a shallow zonal overturning circulation thermally direct, namely the Congo Basin Cell, driven by near-surface land-ocean thermal contrast between the warm central Africa landmass and the relatively cold Atlantic Ocean. The Congo Basin Cell, characterizes by eastward flow, persists …
