One of the most significant materials in a solar panel is glass, which provides transparency, UV protection as well mechanical and chemical resistance. In this work, we describe production prototypes four modules made using borosilicate, zinc-tellurite, Pr$^{3+}$ doped float glass cover materials. The performance these was evaluated under simulator, device developed to monitor all real conditio...

We have recently shown that felodipine, a long-acting dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker (CCB), up-regulates nitric oxide (NO) production and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression and activity in cultured endothelial cells as well as in animals with chronic renal failure. This study was intended to compare the effects of prototypes of the three classes of L-type CCBs on the NO s...

Hierarchical clustering is one of the standard methods taught for identifying and exploring underlying structures that may be present within a dataset. Students are shown examples in which dendrogram, visual representation hierarchical clustering, reveals clear structure. However, practice, data analysts today frequently encounter datasets whose large scale undermines usefulness dendrogram as v...

This paper presents the ergonomic aspects in designing and prototyping of desks cum chairs used in elementary schools. The procedures adopted for the assessment includedthe study of existing school furniture, design analysis and development of prototypes. The design approach proposed a series of adjustable desks and chairs developed in terms of ergonomic concepts. In the development stage, the ...

This paper outlines the design process of the project ‘Seven Mile Boots’, a wearable art piece. Using the Seven Mile Boots, a user can travel seven miles in one step and traverse virtual social spaces of communication. The piece was often perceived as product design because it draws from the experience with everyday objects: boots. By giving an overview on our three main design instruments Guid...

The traditional production of wine vinegar is a lengthy process with little or no microbiological control. The aim of this study was to shorten the acetification process via three different strategies: changes in wood type; barrel shape; and the inoculation of an Acetobacter pasteurianus pure culture. The barrel shape was modified by constructing two prototypes with higher liquid-air interface....
