Causes of Enlarged Prostate. BPH is a benign (non-cancerous) enlargement of the prostate that is extremely common in older men. It is generally thought to be caused by years of exposure to male hormones like testosterone. While BPH is benign and cannot spread to other parts of the body, it can cause problems.
1 Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of a substance, without moving the particles to a new location.
The thermal conductivity of a material is a quantitative measure of how much heat will flow through a material per unit time for a given temperature gradient. In the simplest materials the mechanism of heat transfer may be described at the microscopic level as transfer of energy through collisions between atoms and molecules. In a higher temperature region region the atoms and molecules have more kinetic energy than in a low temperature region.
