A simple model using once-daily US National Centers for Environmental Prediction/US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) re-analysis upper-air values estimates winter balance, summer balance and net balance at ten glaciers in Norway and two in Sweden with 0:37 r2 0:90: The October–May Arctic Oscillation (AO), an index of sea-level pressure (SLP) in the Northern Hemisphere, corre...

Two trials were conducted to investigate the effect of decreasing the crude protein (CP) content of diets for finishing pigs containing two levels of available lysine on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) balance and production performance. Ten finishing diets containing five levels of CP (on average 144, 155, 168, 182 and 193 g/kg fresh basis) and two levels of available lysine (6.9 and 8.2 ...

Monthly discharge is one of the most important factors considered in designs and hydrological works. Some watersheds are not equipped with needed hydrometric equipment. In such a case average monthly discharge could be estimated from regional monthly water balance models of representative watersheds. In this study, Thornthwaite & Mather (TM) model were used in the Pishkouh watershed in arid cli...

Improved energy efficiency and increased use of renewables within the building stock is crucial to ensure achievement international national climate goals, such as bringing about a carbon neutral society. The existing buildings needs be retrofitted heated by renewable sources. However, this may lead conflicts with other sustainability preservation cultural heritage values built environment. des...

The Myerson-Satterthwaite Theorem (MS) is an impossibility result for bilateral bargaining. The original cite is Myerson and Satterthwaite (1983). The proof here most closely follows Krishna (2009) and Milgrom (2004). One person, the seller, owns one unit of an indivisible object. The seller values the object at c, which I refer to as the seller’s type. The other person, the buyer, values the o...
