This paper aims to evaluate residential air conditioning systems' performance enhancement and optimization by adopting a novel functionalized Al2O3 (FAl2O3)–Polyolester (POE) nanolubricant. Comprehensive discussions were conducted on key parameters, including heat absorption, compressor work, cooling capacity, coefficient of (COP), power consumption. Novel FAl2O3 nanoparticles dispersed into th...

Thomas Poe looks at what the future holds for global research using today's technology and provides a clear roadmap showing how to get there efficiently.

An experimental investigation of oil retention and pressure drop characteristics for R1234yf, R134a and R410A with POE 100 is presented, for horizontal and vertical suction lines of 10.2 mm internal diameter. Conditions of operation include a saturation temperature of 13 °C and a superheat of 15 °C, with the superficial vapor velocity and the Oil in Circulation Ratio (OCR) both varied in the ra...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdThis analysis included 8,192 overweight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from the Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial (SCOUT) randomized to lifestyle intervention with or without sibutramine for up to 6 years. Patients were grouped according to hypoglycemic treatment at baseline. The primary end point was the time from randomization to the first occurrenc...

Endophthalmitis is a potential vision-threatening complication following surgical procedures (postoperative endophthalmitis [POE]), trauma (posttraumatic endophthalmitis [PTE]), and bacteremic seeding of the eye from a distant infection site (endogenous endophthalmitis [EE]). Several studies have revealed the polybacterial characteristics of endophthalmitis, which make the administration of ant...

The space of bio-inspired hardware can be partitioned along three axes: phylogeny, ontogeny, and epigenesis. We refer to this as the POE model. Our Embryonics (for embryonic electronics) project is situated along the ontogenetic axis of the POE model and is inspired by the processes of molecular biology and by the embryonic development of living beings. We will describe the architecture of mult...

This research is aimed at studying the stability and tribology properties of polyol ester oil- (POE-) based biolubricant mixed with various filler loadings from microparticle TEMPO-oxidized bacterial cellulose (NDCt) as an additive sorbitan monostearate (Span 60) a surfactant. Morphology, rheology, tests were conducted. The addition NDCt Span 60 to pure POE base fluid showed elevated viscosity,...

What parallels might there be between Poe’s story of a proud prince and his noble acolytes who shut themselves away to take refuge from the red death twenty-first-century non-fiction Covid-19? The author this piece personal, auto-fictional approach question, narrating own experience locking down with family in London’s vibrant East End. If Prospero nobles devote revelry aesthetic pl...

UNLABELLED Oxycodone (OXY) is one of the most commonly abused opiates during pregnancy. Perinatal opiate exposure (POE) is associated with neurobehavioral and hormone changes. Little is known about the effects of perinatal OXY on the cardiovascular (CV) responses to stress. OBJECTIVES to determine the effects of POE on: (1) CV responses to acute stress and ability to discriminate using a clas...
