In the countries procuring a major amount of their energy from abroad, using effectively and ensuring energy-saving become gradually more important. this study, considering climatic meteorological conditions Van province, optimum insulation thickness, payback period, values were analyzed for three materials (rock wool, polyurethane, XPS) five sources (imported coal, fuel oil, LPG, natural gas e...

Continuous research efforts have been developed in the literature to raise sustainability components of road infrastructure industry, i.e., reduce potential contaminants and augment financial profitability. In this regard, investigation aims explore feasibility producing Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) with inclusion Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) as a partial substitute for coarse Natural Aggregates ...

In recent years, the use of electroencephalography (EEG) has grown as a tool for diagnostic and brain function monitoring, being simple non-invasive method compared with other procedures like histological sampling. Typically, in order to extract functional responses from EEG signals, prolonged repeated stimuli are needed because artifacts generated recordings which adversely impact stimulus-res...

Companies can form their own "ESCO model" with capitals. New opportunities that Energy Saving Company (ESCO) do was to offer PSS business model in the of Agreement (ESA) or Performance Contract (ESPC), which known as "saving back arrangement financing." ESCO contracts could free owners from new upfront investment. Unfortunately, customer's creditworthiness becoming more crucial for ESCO. Machin...

OBJECTIVES NACP/alpha-synuclein is an aetiological gene product in familial Parkinson's disease. To clarify the pathological role of NACP/alpha-synuclein in sporadic Parkinson's disease and other related disorders including diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), paraffin sections were examined immunocytochemically using anti-NACP/alpha-synuclein antibodies. METHOD...

China accounts for approximately 30% of the CO2 emissions—one of the largest proportions from a single nation. Therefore, reducing the CO2 emissions in China will play a decisive role in global CO2 emissions reduction. This paper is a proposal of optimum insulation thickness (OIT) for the exterior walls of buildings in 32 regions of China to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. The determinati...

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is one of the goals and key pillars of the construction management science because it comprises many of the functions and processes necessary, which assist organisations and agencies to achieve their goals. It has therefore become important to design and control assets during their whole life cycle, from the design and planning phase through to disposal phase. LCCA is aime...

The amount of plastics deposited in the environment is constantly increasing. To improve their circularity, numerous research lines emerge, such as creation new construction materials that incorporate polymeric waste. This practice manages to extend life cycle waste, avoids consumption limited natural resources and gives product additional characteristics. re-use polyurethane foam waste a subst...

Due to the rapid industrialization and development across the entire globe, there is the increasing demand for energy. However, the energy sources from fossil fuels are not abundant in every part of the world. India has to import fuel from other parts of the world which consumes a major portion of Government funds. So, currently improving solar energy technologies efficiency is one of the most ...
