One third of accidents occur in the home, and the age group most at risk is the under 5s. Home appliances play a part in many of these accidents. In 1986, 27 accidents in which a tumble drier was involved were reported to the home accident surveillance system. Most of these injuries resulted from falls off or against the appliance, and only one burn, to a person leaning against the door, was re...

nowadays two important discussions in academic parties all over the world are energy crisis and environment crisis. one of the strategies to deal with these crisises is using clean, renewable and domestic energy sources. one of the best renewable energies that can be used in different scales is solar energy. in iran which is considered among the greatest countries that receive huge amount of so...

We present results from 42 simulations of late stage planetary accretion, focusing on the delivery of volatiles (primarily water) to the terrestrial planets. Our simulations include both planetary “embryos” (defined as Moon to Mars sized protoplanets) and planetesimals, assuming that the embryos formed via oligarchic growth. We investigate volatile delivery as a function of Jupiter’s mass, posi...

The agricultural use of sewage sludge is possible on condition of maintaining microbiological and parasitological standards, and one of the most modern methods improving its sanitary state is solar drying. In the presented study, the effect of this process on the elimination of indicator microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Salmonella Senftenberg W775, Enterococcus spp.) and eggs of Ascaris suum i...

in this study, estimation of global and diffuse solar radiations of selected cities in nigeria was carried out to assess the feasibility of solar energy utilization. the results of this work show the variation of direct and diffuse component of solar radiation in summer and winter months. the contribution of diffuse solar radiation is high during the monsoon months whereas sky conditions are cl...

in this study, the effect of edible coat (carboxy methyl cellulose) before osmotic dehydration anddifferent drying methods on sensory and physical properties of dried apple (v. golden delicious)rings was investigated. the coated and non-coated samples pretreated with 50% sucrose osmoticsolution and dried in freeze drier (-40 to -50°c, 0.026-0.017 mbar, 24 hr), vacuum drier (70°c, 200mbar, 8-10 ...
