Researchers tested infrared thermography protocol, but found it unreliable for measuring brown adipose tissue activity. The team suggests alternative methodologies to study links between thermoregulation and social behaviors.
Researchers used thermography to measure marmosets' emotional responses to call interactions, finding they distinguish dialogues from monologues. Marmosets also prefer cooperative over competitive interactions, aligning with their natural behavior as cooperative breeders.
Researchers found that full-face readings provide greater accuracy than targeting only the inner canthi region for fever screening with IRTs. The study evaluated over 500 individuals and reported excellent IRT performance with clear correlations to oral temperature baseline data.
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers developed a new technique to measure temperature beneath the surface of certain materials, called depth thermography. This method uses thermal radiation emitted by objects and sophisticated algorithms to infer temperature not just on the surface but also underneath.
Researchers have demonstrated how aerial thermography is transforming archaeology by introducing a new realm of possibilities for collecting site data. The study showcases the potential of this methodology to reveal archaeological features, detect hidden structures, and analyze environmental conditions.
Researchers at the University of South Carolina have developed a new technique called 'steam thermography' that can detect blood spots in crime scenes more effectively than luminol. The method uses thermal imaging and a hand steamer to highlight where blood is present, even in highly diluted samples.
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new technique to detect flaws in lithium-ion batteries during manufacturing, including uneven coating and thickness variations. The 'flash thermography measurement' method uses heat and thermal imaging to quickly identify defects, which can impact battery life and reliability.
A recent study found that thermography of horses' legs is highly reproducible and less sensitive to camera position changes. However, gentle drafts can significantly affect temperature readings, rendering diagnoses unreliable. To achieve accurate results, veterinarians should perform thermography in draft-free surroundings.
Researchers are using thermography and endoscopy to examine the contents of a 1,000-pound lead coffin found in an ancient Italian city without breaking it. The discovery is significant due to its rarity, with only a handful of examples from this time period existing in Italy.
Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute create testing systems using shearography and thermography to detect delaminations in composite materials. The combination of technologies improves quality control and eliminates processing steps.
Infrared thermography is a non-destructive testing method that allows researchers to peer several centimeters into the material of wind turbine rotor blades. This technology enables the detection of minor irregularities and delaminated areas that can cause mechanical stresses and lead to premature failure.
A McGill University study found no difference in time for men and women to reach peak arousal, contrary to previous assumptions. The use of thermal imaging technology allows for minimally invasive measurement of sexual arousal rates.
