A Comprehensive Survey of Research Trends in mmWave Technologies for Medical Applications by Xiaoyu Zhang, Chuhui Liu, Yanda Cheng, Zhengxiong Li, Chenhan Xu, Chuqin Huang, Ye Zhan, Wei Bo, Jun Xia, Wenyao Xu

“…We introduce a taxonomy that decouples low-level mmWave signal features—such as motion, material property, and structure—from high-level biomedical biomarkers, including respiration pattern, heart rate, tissue hydration, and gait. We then classify and contrast the modeling approaches—ranging from physics-driven analytical models to machine learning techniques—that enable this mapping. …”

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Comprehensive investigations of mixed convection of Fe–ethylene-glycol nanofluid inside an enclosure with different obstacles using lattice Boltzmann method by Chenqi Fu, Amin Rahmani, Wanich Suksatan, S. M. Alizadeh, Majid Zarringhalam, Supat Chupradit, Davood Toghraie

“…Consequently, in each state where a better flow mixture and lower depreciation of fluid velocity components, due to the penetration of lid movement and buoyancy force, occurs higher heat transfer rate is accomplished. Furthermore, it is shown that when Ri = 0.1, the effect of cavity angle is more important but when Ri = 10, the effect of the position of obstacle is more visible.…”
