The three renewable energy technologies discussed in this paper are based on water, but differ markedly in terms of the size of the available potential resource, the maturity of the associated conversion technologies, the extent to which they have been exploited to date, and the current research effort being devoted to their future development. Hydro-electricity and tidal power are both very ma...

The title compound, C(3)H(10)NO(3)P, crystallizes in its zwitterionic form, H(3)N(+)CH(C(2)H(5))PO(O(-))(OH), with the asymmetric unit being composed by two of such entities (Z' = 2). The crystal packing leads to a sequence of hydro-phobic and hydro-philic layers. While the hydro-phobic layer comprises the aliphatic substituent groups, the hydro-philic one is held together by a series of strong...

PURPOSE Plant-derivate therapeutic agents can perform cancer chemotherapeutic activity through triggering apoptotic cell death. Our aim was to investigate the cytotoxic effects, induction of apoptosis, and the mechanism of cell death of Iranian orthodox black tea extracts (BTEs) and hydro methanolic purified fractions (40, 60, 80 and 100%) in KB cells (oral squamous cell carcinoma). METHODS I...

Background Hydro-distillation (HD) method is a traditional technique which is used in most industrial companies. Microwave-assisted Hydro-distillation (MAHD) is an advanced HD technique utilizing a microwave oven in the extraction process. Methods In this research, MAHD of essential oils from the aerial parts (leaves) of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) was studied and the results were co...

The short term hydrothermal scheduling (STHTS) is a daily planning proposition in power system operation. The main purpose of hydro thermal generation scheduling is to minimize the overall operation cost and to satisfy the given constraints by scheduling optimally the power outputs of all hydro and thermal units under study periods, given electrical load and limited water resource. This paper p...

Investigating life history traits in mammals is crucial to understand their survival in changing environments. However, these parameters are hard to estimate in a macroevolutionary context. Here we show that the use of dental ontogenetic parameters can provide clues to better understand the adaptive nature of phenotypic traits in extinct species such as South American notoungulates. This recent...

Recent growth in the renewable energy industry has increased government support for alternative energy. In the United States, hydropower is the largest source of renewable energy and also one of the most efficient. Currently, there are 30,000 megawatts of potential energy capacity through smalland micro-hydro projects throughout the United States. Increased development of micro-hydro could doub...

AIM To evaluate corneal injury during general anesthesia and analyze the protective effect of medical hydro-gel eye patch in clinics. METHODS Seventy-six patients with 152 eyes undergoing general anesthesia were included. None had positive corneal fluorescein staining before surgery. Both eyes of each patient were analyzed, with one randomly allocated to receive medical hydro-gel eye patch, a...

Central Electricity Authority have completed the preliminary ranking study of hydro electric schemes to harness the balance hydro electric potential in the country. Hon’ble Union Minister of Power Shri Suresh Prabhu released the report on "Preliminary Ranking Study of Hydro Electric Schemes" on 5th February 2002 at the International Conference and Business Meet on Non-fossil fuel generation org...
