laboratory bioassays were carried out to study the insecticidal efficacy of two iranian diatomaceous earths (des) and silicosecâ® formulation against sitophilus granarius (l.). four different particle sizes of des were applied at five concentrations. the mortality was counted 2, 5 and 7 days after exposure. the experiment was carried out at 27 â± 1â°c and 55 â± 5% relative humidity in continuou...

we performed molecular dynamics simulations using the coarse-grained model to study the freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-salt mixture in a wide range of temperatures for a very long time around 50 nanoseconds. for the salty water, an interface in nanoscale was used. for both systems, the freezing behavior of water molecules was studied using some qualities such as density, total en...

introduction the consequence of cooperation between environmental factors and circulation patterns in a long time can determine the arrangement of type and manner in humidity in geographical area. the knowledge about space dispersion in geographical areas assists preparing sound programming and proper environmental decision making. relative humidity is the most commonly used measurements of moi...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study has been to analyze whether fine particulate matter (PM2.5), as well as its synergistic effect with maximum temperature, humidity, and seasons, is associated with morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. METHODS This is an ecological study of time series. We have used as outcomes the daily death and hospitalization records of adults aged 45 y...

In this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) of PEM fuel cell is modeled. The governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. Also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (GDL) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...
