Performance evaluation of a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger with short-grass ground cover: an experimental study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Given the negative environmental impact and high energy consumption of conventional air conditioning systems, the use of passive cooling systems has become particularly important. An earth-to-air heat exchanger, which ...
Airflow assessment in a naturally ventilated greenhouse equipped with wind towers: numerical simulation and wind tunnel experiments
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the air change rate and airflow distribution inside a greenhouse equipped with wind towers were analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, considering different wind speeds (1–5 m/s) and ...
On the effectiveness of emission penalties in decentralized supply chains
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In recent years, the emission of harmful pollutants, such as greenhouse gases, due to industrial activities have received considerable interest from both business and scientific communities. As a result, an increasing ...
Electrodeposited Ni–Co layered double hydroxides on titanium carbide as a binder-free electrode for supercapacitors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
We report the synthesized mixture of MXene and Ni–Co LDH on nickel foam by an electrodeposition technique. The specific capacitance of the mixture attained 983.6 F g−1 at a discharge current of 2 A g−1, which is greater ...
Thermal performance of stadium's Field of Play in hot climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The stadium Field of Play (FoP) is a large area of grass that affects the stadiums overall thermal performance. This paper experimentally and numerically investigates the thermal performance of stadiums FoP in hot and arid ...
Osteopontin: A Promising Therapeutic Target in Cardiac Fibrosis
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2019 , Article)
Osteopontin (OPN) is recognized for its significant roles in both physiological and pathological processes. Initially, OPN was recognized as a cytokine with pro-inflammatory actions. More recently, OPN has emerged as a ...
Vitamin K1 as a potential molecule for reducing single-walled carbon nanotubes-stimulated �-synuclein structural changes and cytotoxicity
(
Dove Medical Press Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Aims: Different kinds of vitamins can be used as promising candidates to mitigate the structural changes of proteins and associated cytotoxicity stimulated by NPs. Therefore, the structural changes of �-syn molecules and ...
Effect of hot extrusion and T6 heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-10Zn-3.5Mg-2.5Cu nanocomposite reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Al-10Zn-3.5Mg-2.5Cu/graphene nanocomposites were developed by a combination of liquid metallurgy and hot extrusion techniques. The effect of varying graphene content (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.7% and 1.0%) on microstructure and ...
Spark ignition of a turbulent shear-less fuel-air mixing layer
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A planar methane-air mixing layer with equal velocity in the two streams has been used to examine the ignition probability and the non-premixed edge flame speed following spark ignition. The mixing layer has approximately ...
Effects of high frequency drive speed modulation on rotor with continuous stator contact
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In many mechanical systems, rotating structures experience continuous rotor-stator contact and torsion motions are dominant in the response. Drill strings used in the oil and gas industry represent one example of rotating ...
