Quasi-classical trajectory studies have been performed for the collision of internally excited methane with water using an accurate methane-water potential based on a full-dimensional, permutationally invariant analytical representation of energies calculated at a high level of theory. The results suggest that most energy transfer takes place at impact parameters smaller than about 8 Bohr; coll...

in recent years, using new methods in utilization of energy resources has become necessary due to environmental pollution and restriction of energy resources. the hybrid system presented in this article produced power with sofc and stirling engine. the purpose is to analyze a 50 kw solid oxide fuel cell that could produce enough thermal energy for a 10 kw stirling engine working in the hybrid s...

the paper presents an analysis of both energy intensity and energy demand for the italianindustrial sector. the aim of the paper is twofold: making a decomposition of energy intensity at the aggregate level and modeling energy demand at the firm level. the decomposition of energy intensity shows different patterns for the different sub-sectors in the period of interest. in the micro approach, p...

introduction: poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in spect imaging that result in error in quantification. thallium decay is very complicated and photons ar...

objective: druggability of a target protein depends on the interacting micro-environment between the target protein and drugs. therefore, a precise knowledge of the interacting micro-environment between the target protein and drugs is requisite for drug discovery process. to understand such micro-environment, we performed in silico interaction analysis between a human target protein, dipeptidyl...

introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate the scanning electron microscope (sem) analysis of tooth surface irradiated by different parameters of er:yag laser. methods: 15 caries-free extracted human third molars were used in this study. the teeth were put into 5 groups for laser irradiation as follows: group 1 (power: 2.5 w, energy: 250 mj); group 2(power: 3 w, energy: 300 mj); gro...

abstract intensive and inefficient use of energy leads to degradation of natural resources and environmental problems. this study evaluated the relationship between the energy of consumed inputs and yield of tomato, cucumber and melon using the cobb–douglas production function. the data were collected from 90 farmers in firoozabad using a questionnaire. the farmers were chosen by simple random ...

carbon capture and storage (ccs) systems have relevant energy consumption associated with the co2 capture process. it causes an energy efficiency reduction that diminishes the economic interests and increases the technical uncertainty of these systems. with the objective of improving the system perform-ance and reducing thermodynamic inefficiencies, the exergy analysis has been traditionally ap...
