OBJECTIVE In this paper, we review the epidemiological evidence on the relationship between ambient temperature and morbidity. We assessed the methodological issues in previous studies and proposed future research directions. DATA SOURCES AND DATA EXTRACTION We searched the PubMed database for epidemiological studies on ambient temperature and morbidity of noncommunicable diseases published i...

in this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...

To compensate for changes in ambient temperature, thermal flow sensors are usually heated to a constant temperature above ambient temperature. This operating mode, however, requires an extra ambient-temperature sensor. Using a simple model, it is shown that for a two-dimensional thermal flow sensor, similar compensation may be obtained by using a constant heating power, thus eliminating the nee...

heat recuperation is often used to improve the overall cycle efficiency of gas turbines. however, generally in small- scale gas turbines, it has a negative effect on turbine inlet temperature, pressure ratio and pressure drops, and thus decreases the overall cycle efficiency. in this paper, a thermodynamic model is performed to evaluate recovered heat as a function of heat exchanger effectivene...

Two cultivars of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum cv. CP73-1547 and CP88-1508) were grown for 3 months in paired-companion, temperature-gradient, sunlit greenhouses under daytime [CO2] of 360 (ambient) and 720 (double ambient) micromol mol(-1) and at temperatures of 1.5 degrees C (near ambient) and 6.0 degrees C higher than outside ambient temperature. Leaf area and biomass, stem biomass and ju...
