The system design of window air conditioner does not evolve in one day. Due to the continous efforts are taken by the refrigeration and air conditionging professionals, successful and economic models of window air conditioners are currently used. This paper states about the development of window air conditioner with phase change material and water as refrigerants. Developed air conditioner was ...

The secretion of the nasal gland from the marsh deer (Odocoileus dichotomus) has shown to be a lipid mixture predominantly containing cholesterol esters, mono- and diester waxes, the latter of which containing 2-hydroxy fatty acids. The alcoholic constituents of the mono- and diester waxes contain considerable amounts of mono-unsaturated homologues, all with the double bonds in (omega-9)-position.

A polyhex can be defined as a graph H which is obtained from the hexagonal lattice L6 of the plane by taking a cycle C in the graph of L6 and defining H to be the part of L6 in the disk bounded by C, including C. Similarly, a mono-qpolyhex, q an integer greater than 3, is obtained from the mono-q-hexagonal lattice (all faces are hexagons except one which is a q-gon, and three faces meet at each...

Understanding the evolutionary origins of segmented body plans in the metazoa has been a long-standing fascination for scientists. Competing hypotheses explaining the presence of distinct segmented taxa range from the suggestion that all segmentation in the metazoa is homologous to the proposal that segmentation arose independently many times, even within an individual clade or species. A major...

Regression benchmarking is a methodology for detecting performance changes in software by periodic benchmarking. Detecting performance regressions in particular helps to improve software quality, similarly as regression testing, which however focuses only on software functionality. To achieve an acceptable level of false alarms, regression benchmarking requires a statistically sound planning an...
