The value of the fundamental quality in radiometry, the watt, is presently realized by electrical substitution in which the temperature produced in a blackened material due to absorption of radiant energy is balanced against that produced by electrical energy whose current and voltage can accurately be measured. A new method to measure optical radiation is being explored by the National Bureau ...

It is observed that the “ghost” (originally discovered by Landau in quantum electro-dynamics) and its counterparts in other theories are indeed ubiquitous as they occur in a one-loop approximation to any conventional (unbroken) gauge theory. The mechanism is first exposed in its generality via the Dyson equation and a simple but explicit example in condensed matter is provided through the stati...

This involves having production units distribute to the consuming units through a single vertical and central distribution network. Each fl oor is served by an indirect connected substation (Figure 3). Enhancing comfort1 and reducing energy demand2 is possible when fl oorto-fl oor (rather than building-to-building) consumption is moderate (cooling) or low (heating) temperature radiant-based sur...

Regarding the important effects of thermal comfort on residents, especially in hot regions, our study aimed to investigate and determine influence vegetation external conditions Algerian Sahara. In work, we examine determining factors at three points Ksar Ain Madhi by coupling in-situ measurement simulation with Rayman 1.2 software. The measured parameters are air temperature (Ta), relative hum...

Intensive urbanization and global warming are impacting the health well-being of urban population. Nevertheless, environments with different designs will have micro local climate conditions. This study used data from micrometeorological measurements performed in spaces (downtown, park, riverside) Banja Luka, Bosnia Herzegovina, on hot summer days June 2021. Air temperature, relative humidity, w...

The aim of the present research was to investigate temporal change actual mean votes subjects exposed joint effect warm ceilings and draught. paper investigates whether value remains constant or it changes over time under a thermal environment? To answer this question, we performed human subject studies involving 10 men women. results were analyzed in function time. most important result is tha...

BACKGROUND The Reducing Disparities in Access to kidNey Transplantation Community Study (RaDIANT) was an End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Network 6-developed, dialysis facility-level randomized trial testing the effectiveness of a 1-year multicomponent education and quality improvement intervention in increasing referral for kidney transplant evaluation among selected Georgia dialysis facilities....

BACKGROUND Hypothermia has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of hypoxia-ischaemia. It is currently being evaluated as a potentially therapeutic option in the management of neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. However, significant hypothermia has adverse systemic effects. It has also recently been found that the stress of being cold can abolish the neuroprotective effects o...

The microclimate model ENVI-met (V4) was used for predicting the effects of different systems of planted pergolas on the microclimate of an atrium. The model was firstly validated using experimental data and then used for different cases studies. The microclimate measurements were carried in a real construction project of a hydroponic pergola at Kostakii Campus of the Technological Education In...
