Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic (3E) evaluation are performed to assess the performance of a NH3/H2O cycle integrated with parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSC). To provide continuous electricity produced by generator when solar beam radiation is insufficient a stabilizer temperature subsystem is utilized. The major thermodynamic parameters and climate conditions variations are selected to...

1 Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the leading viral cause of severe respiratory 2 illness in infants and young children worldwide. Two major antigenic groups (A and B) of 3 HRSV exist and viruses from both subgroups can cocirculate during epidemics, however their 4 frequencies might vary between seasons. The subgroup prevalence and genotype distribution 5 patterns of HRSV strains we...

This paper analyzes the financing terms that support international trade and sheds light on how these terms shape the impact of economic shocks on trade. Analysis of transaction-level data from a U.S.-based exporter of frozen and refrigerated food products, primarily poultry, reveals broad patterns about the use of alternative financing terms. These patterns help discipline a model in which the...

Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) have gained wide acceptance for scenario based specification of component behaviors. MSCs are very useful during requirements capture phase of the software development process and reveal errors in requirement specifications when used in early stages. As MSCs have found widespread usage, there have been several extensions to overcome its’ shortcomings for a spectru...
