Drinking water distribution networks (DWDNs) have a huge potential for cold thermal energy recovery (TED). TED can provide cooling buildings and spaces with high requirements as an alternative traditional cooling, reduce usage of electricity or fossil fuel, thus helps greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is no research on the environmental assessment systems, standards are available maximum te...

various researches on laboratory and field scale illustrate that manipulating the ionic composition and the ion concentration of injected water can affect the efficiency of water flooding and the interaction of injected water with rock and other fluids present in porous media. the objectives of this paper are to investigate parameters that affect low salinity water flooding; mainly the effect o...

PURPOSE The present study was designed to address the hypothesis that radiofrequency (RF) thermal ablation, as represented by the ClosureFAST system, is associated with improved recovery and quality-of-life (QOL) parameters compared with 980-nm endovenous laser (EVL) thermal ablation of the great saphenous vein (GSV). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-seven veins in 69 patients were randomized to ...

Title of Thesis: NON-INVASIVE IMAGING TECHNIQUES AS A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SKIN DAMAGE DUE TO IONIZING RADIATION Abby Jeanne Vogel, Master of Science, 2004 Thesis Directed By: Yang Tao, Ph.D., P.E., Professor of Biological Resources Engineering This study tested the ability of two non-invasive techniques, thermography and near-infrared multi-spectral imaging, to quantitatively assess the re...
