The recent upsurge in the demand of PV systems is due to the fact that they produce electric power without hampering the environment by directly converting the solar radiation into electric power. However the solar radiation never remains constant. It keeps on varying throughout the day. The need of the hour is to deliver a constant voltage to the stand-alone system of the variation in temperat...

The main objective of this work is to design an optimal—efficient economic power renewable energy system that feeds the required electric load of a small scale brackish reverse osmosis desalination unit and a tourism motel located in Hurghada, Egypt. Four renewable energy power systems are presented in this paper to select the most optimum one of them. These suggested renewable energy systems a...

Polycythemia vera (PV) is an acquired myeloproliferative disorder with primary expansion of the red cell mass leading to an increased risk of thrombosis and less frequently to myelofibrosis and secondary acute leukemia. Standard therapies include cytoreduction with either phlebotomy or chemotherapeutic agents and antithrombotic drugs. Because long-term exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy may inc...

Presentation of the same amount of a food in multiple smaller units ('segmentation') has been shown to reduce food intake and increase estimates of the amount of food consumed. However, this effect has been demonstrated for ad libitum food intake only. In the majority of cases, meals are not consumed ad libitum, but are pre-selected and consumed in their entirety, Expected satiety (ES; the anti...

2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides (LTMDs) attracted a great deal of interests because of their attractive electronic, optoelectronic and mechanical properties, versatile chemistry, and large natural abundance. Especially, a single semiconducting LTMD (e.g., WSe 2 , WS 2 , and MoS 2) layer (~0.5 nm thick) can absorb as much sunlight as 50 nm of Si (or 12 nm of GaAs) and generate curren...

This paper presents a new evaluation model of wind-Photovoltaic (PV)-thermal-pumped storage integration system considering carbon emission. The is constructed on the basis comprehensively construction cost, operation start-up and shutdown cost unit, wind abandonment rate, PV rate emission fully utilizing power curtailments PV. It analyzes electric energy benefit low-carbon economy in three diff...

A novel solar-based combined system which is consisting of a concentrated PV, a double effect LiBr-H2O absorption chiller, and a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) is proposed for hydrogen production. A portion of the received energy is recovered to run a double effect absorption chiller and the rest is turned into electricity, being consumed in the PEM electrolyzer for hydrogen producti...

INTRODUCTION It is possible that taking a static pressure-volume (PV) measurement could durably affect oxygenation and thus interfere with early evaluation of a therapeutic intervention delivered just after that measurement. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects over time of a single static PV measurement on gas exchange and haemodynamics; the PV measurements were taken us...

The aim of this paper is to design a textual display system, based on a light emitting diode (LED) dot matrix array powered by solar energy. The paper involves taking the device from an initial concept, through a design phase, to constructing a prototype of the product. The system consists of the display unit, which is powered from a photovoltaic ( PV) module and a solar sealed lead acid batter...
