Air pollution is one of the important environmental problems in Poland. The main cause its occurrence emissions associated with individual heating buildings. reduction primary energy demand a building influenced by proper thermal modernization, including particular insulating. In view above, this article presents results studies on possible benefits modernization single-family houses for area S...

Dynamic thermal ratings have the potential to offer a costeffective alternative to network reinforcement for Distribution Network Operators looking to accommodate load growth or distributed generation connections. A review of the state of the art regarding dynamic thermal rating technologies around the world is presented. Focusing on overhead lines, a survey and evaluation of the various techno...

In this paper, the silicon-containing sulfonated polystyrene/acrylate–ionic liquid (Si-SPS/A–IL)hybrid membranes was prepared to obtain the proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials withhigh methanol barrier and good selectivity. The Si-SPS/A–IL hybrid membranes characterized asthe function of IL to evaluate their potential as PEMs in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs).Fourdifferent Hybrid mater...

The acute thermal tolerance of ectotherms has been measured in a variety of ways; these include assays where organisms are shifted abruptly to stressful temperatures and assays where organisms experience temperatures that are ramped more slowly to stressful levels. Ramping assays are thought to be more relevant to natural conditions where sudden abrupt shifts are unlikely to occur often, but it...

OBJECTIVE To develop and refine qualitative mapping and quantitative analysis techniques to define 'thermal territories' of the post-partum abdomen, the caesarean section site and the infected surgical wound. In addition, to explore women's perspectives on thermal imaging and acceptability as a method for infection screening. METHOD Prospective feasibility study undertaken at a large Universi...

in this work we use density functional theory based on the ultra-soft pseudo-potential to calculate thestructural, mechanical and thermal properties of narrow single walled bn, aln and gan nanotubes.the electron-electron interactions were expressed within the local density approximation (lda). wehave also obtained the phonon dispersion and elastic constants of these nanotubes using the densityf...
