The application of thermal energy storage (TES) is an effective way of improving the power load regulation capability of combined heat and power (CHP) generating units. In this paper, a theoretical investigation on the thermal energy storage system of a CHP unit that employs the microencapsulated phase change material slurry (MPCMS) as the working fluid is carried out. The results indicate that...

We previously reported that treatment of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with zinc plus cyclo (his-pro) (CHP) decreased fed blood glucose levels and water intake. The present study was conducted to examine the dose-dependent, acute, and chronic treatment effects of CHP on oral glucose tolerance (OGT), fed blood glucose levels, water intake, and plasma insulin levels in young and aged Sprag...

Beef heart cytochrome c oxidase contains two cytochromes, a and a3, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c peroxidase has one high- and one low-potential c haem, cHP and cLP. The parallelism in co-ordination and spin states between cytochrome a and haem cHP on the one hand and between cytochrome a3 and haem cLP on the other is illustrated. The two latter haems become accessible to cyanide, whe...

Future energy systems and thus the climate are affected by many factors, such as energy resources, energy demand, energy policy and the choice of energy technologies. Energy systems of the future are facing three main challenges; the steady growth of global energy demand, the energy resource depletion, as well as the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and other greenhouse gases and t...

If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. Abstract 5 2 Abstract The forebrain is generated by distinct sets of precursor cells that express specific transcription factors as well as secreted signaling factors in a time-and region-dependent manner. The distribution of these factors is similar in the avian and mammalian forebrains. In this work I aimed...

In open systems veri cation, to formally check for reliability, one needs an appropriate formalism to model the interaction between agents and express the correctness of the system no matter how the environment behaves. An important contribution in this context is given by modal logics for strategic ability, in the setting of multi-agent games, such as Atl, Atl∗, and the like. Recently, Chatter...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify and evaluate the environmental impacts estimate external costs benefits building operating a combined heat power (CHP) plant. This research will contribute scientific literature in field public capital investments CHP plants facilitate evaluation similar assessments studies by identifying relevant factors that affect society environment. Methodo...
