This paper presents diversity factors recommended for use in energy simulation programs that require the input of hourly usage of electricity Jor lighting and receptacle loads relative to the installed lighting/equipment capacity. Typical weekday and weekend profiles are presented for small, medium, and large office buildings. The diversity profiles were developedfrom year-long records from 46 ...

Tipuana tipu (Benth.) Kuntze is a tree from the leguminosae family (Papilionoideae) indigenous in Argentina and extensively used in urbanism, mainly in Southern Brazil. The epicuticular waxes of leaves and branch, and flower surface were studied by high temperature high resolution gas chromatography. Several compounds were characterized, among which the aliphatic alcohols were predominant in br...

can be completely dispensed with. The standard pattern of jail filth receptacle answers admirably. This is made easy by the fact that I have dispensed with the system of " earth proofing " each deposit in the latrines, and substituted paddy husk instead. To us here, this item is a bye-product in our garden department; we produce 80 maunds of rice locally, and it is found by experiment that a po...

The University of Chicago's robot, C H I P , is part of the Animate Agent Project, aimed at understanding the software architecture and knowledge representations needed to build a general-purpose robotic assistant. CHIP's strategy for the Office Cleanup event of the 1995 Robot Competition and Exhibition was to scan an entire area systematically and, as collectible objects were identified, pick ...

It has been previously demonstrated (15) that the growth of the strawberry receptacle is regulated by the achenes. This control is exerted through substances which are active in the Avena test, a standard test for auxins. The exact identity of these natural auxins, however, had not been investigated. The purpose of this paper is to report further experiments on the production of auxins by straw...

Lueheia karachiensis, new species (Acanthocephala: Plagiorhynchidae) from the small intestine of a bird (Accipiter badius cenchroides (Serertzov) is being described. The new species possesses the following characters viz. Body elongated measuring 13.60 by 0.72-1.04. Broadest body width at the end of proboscis receptacle or at level of anterior testis. Proboscis short, sub-globular with 20-24 ro...

We present a simple and effective modeling method for flowers. It starts with an initial geometric shape, such as ellipsoid, cylinder, or plane surface et al., and then simulates flower components (such as pedicel, receptacle, pistils, stamens, petals and sepals) by addition deformation to the basic geometric shape. The detailed geometry of flower component is defined by basic equation for the ...

A new genus of Compositae, Shangwua, is described to accomodate all species formerly placed in Saussurea sect. Jacea. This genus is distinct from the other genera of tribe Cardueae in its unique combination of states of characters including involucral bracts, receptacle, paleae, anther, style, achene and pappus. Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data suggest that this new genus belongs t...
