Magnetic Carbon Nanostructures and Study of Their Transport in Microfluidic Devices for Hyperthermia

Abstract

Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM funded by FEDER through COMPETE2020 -ProgramaOperacional Competitividade e Internacionalização (POCI) -and by national funds through FCT.In IPB, a special thanks to Maria João Afonso for all the technical support that was given at the Laboratório de Processos Químicos.At the personal level, there are numerous friends and colleagues that made this journey more pleasurable and easier. Some of them I had the luck to meet when I was abroad. Their friendship allowed me to feel at home when I was far away. Thank you to all.Family is the most important part of us, and I cannot be more grateful that I am to have mine extraordinary parents and sisters. Their unconditional love and comfort are always a warm home to return.Finally, to you Rui. There are no words to express the gratitude of your presence in my life.Your support, love and friendship has guided me throughout this incredible journey. Thank you to bring the best of me.

A Cartesian Grid Representation of Left Atrial Appendages for a Deep Learning Estimation of Thrombogenic Risk Predictors

“…CFD is a branch of fluid mechanics, that consists on numerically analyzing fluid flow. It has been used in order to determine the most important LA and LAA morphological parameters in atrial flow dynamics [9], and to assess the complex flux characterization parameters, such as the Wall Shear Stress (WSS) [14] or the Endothelial Cell Activation Potential (ECAP). The ECAP is the principal factor that characterizes the thrombogenic susceptibility of a vessel, according to di Achille et al [8], since it detects regions exposed to both low and oscillatory shear flow.…”

Recent Developments on the Thermal Properties, Stability and Applications of Nanofluids in Machining, Solar Energy and Biomedicine

“…Characteristics of the NPs, such as specific absorption rate and magnetic properties, and of the applied magnetic field will influence the effects of the technique. The hyperthermia treatment can be combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments for increased treatment efficacy [133,134].…”
