For the purpose of improving living environment in chill region of China, reducing building energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, this paper studies general layout, shape, plane, and envelop of public buildings in depth, and puts forward corresponding design strategies on the basis of systematical analysis on geographical features, climate characteristics, economic level, technology ...

purpose estimating wind chill index as one of the indexes effective in body comfort, specifically for athletes and tourists interested in winter sports. methods meteorology data including temperature and the percentage of relative humidity of 6 synoptic stations of chaharmahal-bakhtiyrai province, iran from 1990 to 2007 were extracted from iranian meteorology site. in order to calculate the val...

The subject of this paper is the Colorado State University–University of Chicago–Illinois State Water Survey (CSU–CHILL) National Radar Facility’s S-band polarimetric research radar. Key features of this system include polarization agility (provided by the dual-transmitter, dual-receiver design), a recently updated signal processor, and a low (234 dB, two way) integrated cross-polar ratio (ICPR...

Environmental factors challenge the physiological homeostasis in animals, thereby evoking stress responses. Various mechanisms have evolved to counter at organism level, including regulation by neuropeptides. In recent years, much progress has been made on and neuropeptides that regulate responses metabolic/nutritional stress, as well those involved countering osmotic ionic stresses. Here, we i...

the effects of different cooking methods (deep fat frying, boiling and steaming) on lipid content and fatty acid composition of grass carp ( ctenopharyngodon idella ) fillets during chill storage were investigated. fillet samples were cooked and then stored at + 4°c for 4 days. the control and the cooked fillet samples were analyzed for their chemical characteristics. twelve fatty acids were id...

Latitudinal trends in cold tolerance have been observed in many terrestrial ectotherms, but few studies have investigated interpopulational variation in the cold physiology of marine invertebrates. Here, the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus was used as a model system to study how local adaptation influences the cold tolerance of a broadly distributed marine crustacean. Among five popul...

Until now, the recommended procedure for measuring hydrolyzable tannins has been to mix the reagent and sample, subject the mixture to a certain amount of chill, allow the reaction to continue for some time at a higher temperature and then measure the absorbance of the colored solution. The effect of different chill conditions has been studied by many workers but the effect of conditions after ...
