efficiency of enzymes which are used in industrial or environmental applications is highly dependent on their thermal stability. in this study, the stability of dfpase has been evaluated after introducing disulfide bonds to the structure. the results obtained from a series of protein design software were subjected to molecular dynamics simulation at different temperature to test the performance...

This paper describes recent efforts made by the Danish Building Research Institute regarding the integration of a life cycle assessment (LCA) method into a whole building hygro-thermal simulation tool. The motivation for the work is that the increased requirements to the energy performance of buildings (as expressed in EU Directive 2002/91/EC), may in the future be supplemented by requirements ...

Abstract In machine tools, it is important to maintain accuracy against heat in the entire machining space. The reduction of thermal displacement achieved by measuring accurately and then clarify relationship between temperature change deformation creating prediction compensation model or applying countermeasure suppress deformation. To solve this issue, authors have developed methods measure t...

common heat transfer fluids such as water, ethylene glycol, and engine oil have limited heat transfer capabilities due to their low heat transfer properties. nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in base fluids, a new challenge for thermal sciences provided by nanotechnology. in this study, we are to optimize and report the effects of various parameters such as the ratio of the thermal co...

Many numerical and analytical schemes exist for solving heat transfer problems. The meshless method is a particularly attractive method that is receiving attention in the engineering and scientific modeling communities. The meshless method is simple, accurate, and requires no polygonalisation. In this study, we focus on the application of meshless methods using radial basis functions (RBFs) – w...

In this paper, kinetic models are discussed with respect to their uses in describing the intrinsic thermal mortality of insect pests. A unique heating block system was used to obtain kinetic information for the thermal mortality of codling moth larvae. The kinetic data demonstrated the possibility to develop high-temperature-short-time thermal treatments to control codling moth and reduce therm...

Among physical vapor deposition techniques thermal evaporation (TE) is the one with the longest standing tradition. However, during the last 30 years of booming semiconductor industry which involves a great deal of thin film technology, deposition techniques like CVD (chemical vapor deposition) or sputtering which often offer unquestionable advantages have been developed to perfection and TE ha...
