Optimizing heat transfer in a finned rectangular latent heat storage system using response surface methodology by Mohammadreza Ebrahimnataj Tiji, Sina Rezaei, Khashayar Hosseinzadeh, Sami Kaplan, Pouyan Talebizadehsardari, Amir Keshmiri

“…The findings show that, in comparison to other designs, a symmetric fin structure with greater fin surface areas at the bottom of the chamber greatly increases melting rates, heat transfer efficiency, and shortens melting times by up to 57 %. Using RSM, the optimal fin arrangement is determined, resulting in a heat exchanger height-to-width ratio of 1.15, a fin angle of 4.31°, and a fin distance of 15.56 mm from the chamber floor. …”

A Case of Diffuse Leptomeningeal Glioneuronal Tumor Misdiagnosed as Chronic Tuberculous Meningitis without Brain Biopsy by Jung-goo Lee, Hak-cheol Ko, Jin-gyu Choi, Youn Soo Lee, Byung-chul Son

“…DLGLT should be considered in differential diagnosis of medical conditions presenting as communicating hydrocephalus with prominent leptomeningeal enhancement. A timely histologic diagnosis through a leptomeningeal biopsy of the brain and spinal cord in case of unusual leptomeningeal enhancement with uncertain laboratory findings is essential because cytologic examination of the cerebrospinal fluid in DLGNT is known to be negative.…”
