typically, two configurations are used for energy harvesting, with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. best performance of piezoelastic configuration is limited to its narrow bandwidth around the resonance frequency. if the excitation frequency slightly deviates from the resonance frequency, the power-out is severely reduced. to overcome this, the piezomagnetoelastic has...

Background: The use of daylight in offices has become an effective strategy to improve the quality of indoor space and energy efficiency. There is enough potential to have daylight autonomy in Kerman as a city with more than 300 sunny days a year. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between facades configuration and the amount of daylight in office buildings of Kerman. ...

Rank-2 tensor fields of large-scale structure, e.g. a field inferred from shapes galaxies, open up window to directly access 2-scalar, 2-vector and 2-tensor modes, where the scalar can be measured independently standard density that is traced by distribution galaxies. Here we develop an estimator multipole moments power spectra for three-dimensional field, taking into account projection onto pl...

In recent years, there has been growing concern regarding energy efficiency in the building sector with requirements increasing worldwide and now responsible for about 40% of final consumption Europe. Previous research shown that ventilated façades help to reduce use when cooling buildings hot temperate climates. Of different façade configurations reported literature, configuration window rarel...

The local structural changes associated with the ZIF-8 framework flexibility upon nitrogen gas adsorption have been studied by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high-energy-resolution fluorescence-detected near-edge structure (HERFD-XANES) spectroscopy. Different thermodynamic conditions (isobar isotherm) used to explore so-called “gate opening” transition which hexagonal pore win...

The known ore deposits and mineralization trends are important key exploration criteria in mineral exploration within a specific region. Fry analysis has conventionally been considered as a suitable method to determine the mineralization trends related to linear structures. Based upon literature sources, to date, no investigation has been carried out that includes the Sensitivity Analysis of Fe...

The effect of alkyl substituents on the C-phenyl and/or the N-Phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. The predominant configuration in CHCl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. Substituents on the C-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the N-phenyl ring favor a trans c...

Abstract Creating suitable classrooms that can meet the educational needs of mentally-retarded students is vitally important. The present study explores the effect of three physical characteristics of classroom environment on the creativity of educable mentally-retarded children: window view, window size, and classroom size. The participants, one hundred 9-to-11-year-old girl students, took th...

Introduction: Scatter radiation is one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine data processing. Different methods of scatter correction have been introduced in order to improve the quality of data. However the best method is to avoid recording of scatter photons in acquisition. The only difference between scattered and non-scattered photons is the energy. Pulse height analyzer i...

crime is the product of an interaction between the person and the setting. understanding crime has been the focus of researchers in both design and social fields for a few decades. the empirical research within the design field on the issue of crime has mainly focused on site-specific and situational features of a place. in the past decade, a considerable body of design research begun to devote...
