Abstract Thermally driven desiccant- and evaporative cooling-based technologies are promising greener cheaper alternatives to compressor-based systems due the separate handling of latent sensible loads. Desiccant air-conditioning (DAC) comprise a desiccant dehumidifier, cooling unit, heat source for regeneration, recovery unit. These components DAC system can be arranged in various ways give di...

• The first report comparing the stability of three different G6PD sample types (normal controls, heterozygous females and deficient individuals) under storage conditions. Specimens with normal activity, both EDTA blood DBS, can be stored at −20 °C for up to 1 year controlled Blood samples from as DBS conditions year. activity in significantly decreased over storage. Accurate measurement glucos...

This report summarizes a research/demonstration project in which a new high school facility was designed and constructed to combine a custom built 230 kW cogeneration package with four integrated active desiccant rooftop (IADR) systems to serve as high-efficiency dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS). The IADR systems were modified to include hot water coils to use the waste heat provided by the...

Effective sub-gingival debridement is crucial to prevent serious systemic infections in hospitalized patients. Lack of compliance and the impracticality of repeated treatment in a short span of time are identified barriers to the performance of full mouth scaling and root planing (SRP). The aim of this randomized study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of the adjunctive a...

the single wheel tester is an experimental device used to measure wheel forces when studying the relation of soil and wheel in a soil bin or in the field. in the model under development, a special frame holding the test wheel is connected to a loading carriage by two pairs of vertical rails and four rollers to provide a floating connection. by applying a driving torque to the test wheel shaft, ...

A commonly adopted dehumidification system on a suspension bridge is the desiccant wheel (DWDS), which demonstrates ineffectiveness and energy-intensiveness in high temperature humidity scenarios. This paper proposes hybrid (HDS) as better alternative for corrosion protection. numerical model of HDS was first established. Then, effects main operating parameters were analyzed, performance DWDS f...

Apart from regular wheel wear such as decreasing wheel diameters and reduced flange thicknesses and heights, wheel flats (WF) and oval wheels (or OOR, Out-Of-Roundness) are the most common wheelset problems for railway vehicles. Within the FP7 Research Project “Saferail”, APT has developed an innovative wheelset monitoring system so-called “Wheel flat and Out of Roundness Monitoring (WORM) syst...

we find an explicit expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. we also find a formula of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. finally, we give an alternative expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.
