FALL 2015 61 There is a growing interest in electrical cars. Since 2012 there has been an increase of 170 percent in electrical cars worldwide (as of July 2014) (Trigg and Telleen 2013).1 Yet one of the most reported reasons for refraining from changing to electrical cars is the relatively limited travel range they have in comparison to gasoline-powered cars. Extending the travel range is of co...

CONSIDER THIS IRONY OF MODERN LIFE: IN A MEDICAL CRISIS, EMERGENCY physicians would have an easier time accessing a patient’s bank account using his or her automatic teller machine card than they would finding critical medical history using his or her medical insurance card. Medical records, including crucial electrocardiograms, drug allergies, or medical conditions, are typically stored on pap...

fuel wood provides the main source of energy for cooking and space heating for over 80 percent of households living in kenya. the heavy reliance on the biomass energy has exerted an imbalance in demand and supply consequently resulting in adverse environmental effects in kenya. as part of innovation efforts, several energy-conserving technologies have been developed. a unique cook stove named m...

1. Introduction Mitsubishi Electric offers solutions centered on security , under the brand name DIGUARD, for various customer problems in buildings, factories, public facilities , and so on. As an example, this paper describes the development of an energy saving system that coordinates security and lighting equipment. In recent years, as evidenced by revisions to the Energy Saving Law and Toky...

One of the industries with high potential for energy saving is the petrochemical industry. Ethylene and propylene production plants (olefin plants) – as a part of the petrochemical industry – are very energy intensive. So, any try to improve their energy consumption efficiency could lead to a high amount of energy saving. Iran’s petrochemical industry uses old technologies and components and du...

Nowadays power consumption has become a major concern in many areas. One of them is scheduling. Scheduling is frequently required in parallel systems (Distributed System, Embedded System and Multi -core System). There are various parallel systems in which some are hand held device such as laptop and some other such as distributed and embedded system that required energy saving for long life, be...

A new energy-saving mechanical system with automatically controlled air valves has been proposed by investigator and the preliminary model setup has been tested. The testing results indicated the proper function of this energy-saving mechanical system. This mechanical system model has been simulated and analyzed by the computational aided engineering solution. The major advantages of this mecha...

Fuzzy expert systems are one of the most practical intelligent models with the high potential for managing uncertainty associated to the medical diagnosis. In this paper, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) for diagnosing of acute lymphocytic leukemia in children has been introduced. The fuzzy expert system applies Mamdani reasoning model that has high interpretability to explain system results to e...

In this study, we discuss about the energy saving in different type of building walls by using optimum insulation thickness with suitable insulation material. The energy saving is maintained by reducing the energy consumption in buildings. Heat losses from building envelope have a major share in waste of energy. So it is essential to save the energy by using optimum insulation thickness. The in...

Power consumption in data centers has been growing remarkably recent years, and power saving of their servers is essential. For power saving of these servers, power saving of an online transaction processing (OLTP) systems, which are major applications in data centers, is important. The OLTP system consumes relatively large amount of power because it is often equipped with a lot of computing an...
