the renewable energy sources and plug-in electric vehicles (pevs) are becoming very popular because of the combination of high fuel costs and concerns about emission issues. this paper presents modelling and control of a building integrated fuel cell and plug-in electric vehicles (bifc-pev) in smart distribution systems. in bifc-pev system, conventional building elements could be replaced by sp...

the effects of grape pomace extract (0, 2 and 4%) on quality and shelf life of silver carp ( hypophthalmicthys molitrix ) fillets during chill storage (4°c) were investigated. the control and the treated fillets were analyzed periodically for microbiological (tvc and ptc), chemical (tvb-n), and sensory characteristics. the results showed that grape pomace-treated samples have lower tvb-n (24.2 ...

Metallized plastic sheeting (m.p.s.) was found to be ineffective in the prevention of hypothermia in adult patients studied during neurosurgical operations. Twenty patients were wrapped in m.p.s. and 22 patients acted as controls. Mean oesophageal temperature in the m.p.s. group decreased from 36.2 degrees C to 35.4 degrees C after 3 h (control 36.5 degrees C to 35.4 degrees C). It was conclude...

Flavonols, anthocyanins, and chalcones were determined during the flowering phase in two genotypes of Cosmos sulphureus (regular species its cultivar ‘Cosmic Orang’) grown М.М. Gryshko National Botanical Garden Kyiv. Inflorescences, leaves, stems, roots, separated ray disc florets dried crushed to prepare extracts following three different techniques. In particular, with 80 % (v/v) ethanol Andr...

  This study was aimed to investigate effects of aqueous citric acid (CA) and ascorbic acid (AA) on lipid oxidation in comparison with effect of vacuum packaging in order to find better treatment to delay improper changes in the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) fillets during frozen storage due to lipid oxidation. In this study traditional packaging, vacuum packaging, ascorbic acid solutio...

The effects of whey protein (12%) and sodium alginate (0.5%) on chemical, microbial and sensory changes and shelf life in kilka during frozen storage are investigated for up to 6 months. Total bacteria count and Staphylococcus bacteria counts(2 / 51 and 1 / 44 log CFU/g) in coated samples showed decrease in comparison with control samples(3.21- 2.28 log CFU/g). Moisture of coated samples had s...

Experimental and commercial storage and ship ping tests of film-wrapped citrus fruit were conducted the past 5 seasons. Fruit wrapped in film lost less water than waxed fruit, creating the potential for better arrival condi tion of export fruit and for extended storage of fruit to pro long the domestic marketing season. Film wrapping may allow 1 to 2 month holding periods with little quality lo...
