An Investigation of Thermal Mitigation Strategies for Electroporation-Based Therapies
… conditions are set to moderate the associated thermal effects with the electroporation of biological tissue. The development of thermal mitigation strategies for IRE treatment is the focus of this dissertation. Herein, the underlying theory and thermal considerations of tissue electroporation …

Modeling Watershed-Wide Bioretention Stormwater Retrofits to Achieve Thermal Pollution Mitigation Goals
Stream ecosystems are increasingly at risk for thermal impairment as urbanization intensifies, resulting in more heated runoff from impervious cover that is less likely to be cooled naturally. While several best management practices, including bioretention filters, have been able to reduce thermal …

Forward Modeling for Bolometry and Disruption Mitigation in Tokamaks or How to Kill Your Plasma With Confidence, Style, and Pizzazz
… In order to successfully develop and deploy mitigation systems, it is important to accurately measure and characterize disruption radiation. Accurate measurement is challenged by fast disruption timescales and highly asymmetric radiation patterns, which push the time and spatial resolution …

Changes in Stormwater Thermal Loads Due to Bioretention Cells
… surfaces temperatures, and then transfer this thermal energy to runoff during a rainfall event, resulting in higher runoff temperatures. Bioretention cells are a common stormwater control practice identified as a possible thermal mitigation practice in urban watersheds harboring cold-water fish …

Reimagining Urban Leftover Spaces Under Overpasses: Mitigating Urban Heat Islands and Heatwaves Through Green Space Transformation
The urban thermal environment is deteriorating due to the constructed urban space and climate change, which negatively impacts public health, especially in the Urban Canopy Layer (UCL). Recent research has investigated the contribution of microclimate parametric in specific urban typologies such as …

Thermal Evaluation of an Urbanized Watershed using SWMM and MINUHET: a Case Study of Stroubles Creek Watershed, Blacksburg, VA
… surfaces for buildings and pavement. While thermally enriched runoff can be harmful to aquatic life, available research and guidance on predicting these effects is limited. The goal of this assessment is to provide guidance on how to achieve necessary temperature regimes that meet aquatic …

Improvements in Pulse Parameter Selection for Electroporation-Based Therapies
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a non-thermal tissue ablation modality in which electrical pulses are used to generate targeted disruption of cellular membranes. Clinically, IRE is administered by inserting one or more needles within or around a region of interest, then applying a series of …
