The combined use of low-potential soil heat and air flows in pump supply systems allows for its regulated redistribution the processes customers’ consumption. Herewith, intensity energy extraction by exchanger decreases, excess is accumulated with a decrease depth wells, costs installing operating probe exchangers are also reduced. An improved version conceptual arrangement vapor compression sy...

By the combined use of agar diffusion, agar vapor and agar vapor-inhibitory assays, contribution of the vapor activity of essential oils was quantitatively estimated. The test organisms were Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Aspergillus fumigatus. Agar vapor assay was used to confirm the vapor activity of the oils. The parameter delta defined as a contribution index of the vapor activity was calc...

One of the most important parameters in all surface-atmosphere interactions (e.g. energy fluxes between the ground and the atmosphere) is atmospheric water vapor. It is also an indicator among others to modeling the energy balance at the Earth’s surface. Total atmospheric water vapor content is an important parameter in some remote sensing applications especially land surface temperature (LST) ...

Prediction of available vapor pressure data in the case of compounds containing C-H-O led to derivations and recommendations of standard equations for this property. The accuracy of vapor pressure estimations is essential to use as a basis to calculate acentric factor, thermal and equilibrium properties. In this study, according to the previous work, an accurate equation to estimate vapor press...

Children appear to be more susceptible to chlorpyrifos poisoning than adults, and are often exposed to more residues. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates children consume (after adjusting for their size) between 2 and 2.5 times as much chlorpyrifos on their food as do adults. When houses are treated with chlorpyrifos, carpets can serve as a source of chlorpyrifos vapors when resi...

Using two versions of the GFDL coupled ocean-atmosphere model, one where water vapor anomalies are allowed to affect the longwave radiation calculation and one where they are not, we examine the role of water vapor feedback in internal precipitation variability and greenhouse-gas-forced intensification of the hydrologic cycle. Without external forcing, the experiment with water vapor feedback p...

In moist convection, atmospheric motions transport water vapor from the earth’s surface to the regions where condensation occurs. This transport is associated with three other aspects of convection: the latent heat transport, the expansion work performed by water vapor, and the irreversible entropy production due to diffusion of water vapor and phase changes. An analysis of the thermodynamic tr...

The establishment of drug vapor pressure reference values provides valuable information in the development of vapor sensing devices for drug detection. The purpose of this work was to determine equilibrium headspace vapor pressures for commercial and illicit drug samples for use in such applications. Samples of cocaine, both free base and hydrochloride forms, and heroin hydrochloride were evalu...

The aromatic perennial plant Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) Burtt & Smith (Zingiberaceae) is widely distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Japan, from southern Kyushu to Ryukyu Islands. Its essential oil has a distinct aroma antioxidant activity but expensive due low extraction efficiencies. Applying underwater shockwave pretreatment A. leaves expected enable more effective during su...
