Window energy consumption has become a key factor in designing buildings with optimal efficiency. To that end, herein, the use of an energy-saving insulated window (ESIW) is proposed, particularly for winter heat conservation. DeST software was used to evaluate properties house ESIW-structure window, as well six other structures currently on market. The results were subsequently compared. Furth...

Nowadays, the increase of fossil fuel consumption intensifies the crucial role of architects. As buildings consume over one-third of the used energy, the society of architects is held responsible for this consumption. Therefore, the amount of energy used by a building is directly related to its design; meaning that reduction of energy consumption should be targeted at the design stage. In this ...

Quantitative Yttrium-90 ((90)Y) bremsstrahlung single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging has shown great potential to provide reliable estimates of (90)Y activity distribution for targeted radionuclide therapy dosimetry applications. One factor that potentially affects the reliability of the activity estimates is the choice of the acquisition energy window. In contrast to imagi...

Current mitigation levels for noise transients impinging on marine mammals are specified by rms pressures. The rms measure critically relies upon choosing the size of averaging window for the squared pressures. Derivation of this window is not standardized, which can lead to 2-12 dB differences in rms sound pressure for the same wave forms. rms pressure does not represent the energy of the nois...

objective(s): use of a positron emission tomography (pet)/single-photonemission computed tomography (spect) system facilitates the simultaneousacquisition of images with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) andtechnetium (99mtc)-tetrofosmin. however, 18f has a short half-life, and 511kev compton-scattered photons are detected in the 99mtc energy window.therefore, in this study, we aimed to ...

Abstract. We consider triangular holes on the hexagonal lattice and we study their interaction when the rest of the lattice is covered by dimers. More precisely, we analyze the joint correlation of these triangular holes in a “sea” of dimers. We determine the asymptotics of the joint correlation (for large separations between the holes) in the case when one of the holes has side 1, all remainin...
