The objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. Given the increasing demand for higher steel...

Cardiovascular-related mortality increases in the cold winter months, particularly in older adults. Previously, we reported that determinants of myocardial O(2) demand, such as the rate-pressure product, increase more in older adults compared with young adults during cold stress. The aim of the present study was to determine if aging influences the coronary hemodynamic response to cold stress i...

the present paper describes the designing of a thermally and economically optimum mechanical draft counter-flow wet cooling tower. the design model allows the use of a variety of packing materials in the cooling tower toward optimizing heat transfer. once the optimum packing type is chosen, a compact cooling tower with low fan power consumption is modelled within the known design variables. mor...

The impact of shade on the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption in buildings is not automatically included in whole building energy simulations. Using transient system simulation (TRNSYS) software, models of the Union County Housing Authority’s energy efficient duplex enable the calculation of a monetary value for shading from trees, adjacent buildings, or shade ...

Air-conditioners and antibiotics are two technologies that have both been traditionally framed around individual health and comfort needs, despite aspects of their use contributing to social health problems. The imprudent use of antibiotics is threatening the capacity of the healthcare system internationally. Similarly, in Australia the increasing reliance on air-conditioning to maintain therma...

the aim of this study was to represent effective componentsin demand chain which help organizations attain high performance levelsthrough identification of these components and determining theirdegree of importance. the following questions were major ideas of thisstudy: what are the most effective components in demand chain? andhow are they effective on organizational performance? to this end,m...
