Commercial and residential buildings are responsible for a substantial portion of total global energy consumption and as a result make a significant contribution to global carbon emissions. Hence, energy-saving goals that target buildings can have a major impact in reducing environmental damage. During building operation, a significant amount of energy is wasted due to equipment and human-relat...

introduction:owing to its favorable radionuclidic characteristics, such as tl/2 = 6.73 day and eβ (max) = 497 kev and ease of its large-scale production using medium flux research reactors, lutetium-177 (177lu) is an attractive radionuclide for various therapeutic applications. no carrier added (nca) 177lu was obtained by thermal neutron bombardment (4×1013n/cm2.s) of 176yb target through 176yb...

We extend the anomaly mediation mechanism by including the effect due to Kähler anomaly. We give a general method analyzing the soft breaking terms in MSSM by introducing a set of parameters. One of the parameters describes the magnitude of the Kähler contribution as opposed to the ordinary super-Weyl contribution. The other parameters come from the so-called bilinear terms which are added to t...

A simple algorithm to calculate the group theory factor entering in anomalies at four and six dimensions for SU(N) and SO(N) groups in terms of the Casimir invariants of their subgroups is presented. Explicit examples of some of the lower dimensional representations of SU(n), n ≤ 5 and SO(10) groups are presented, which could be used for model building in four and six dimensions. The consistenc...

The initiation of a deep and severe impact Mediterranean cyclone in the lee of Atlas Mountains is investigated by a series of numerical experiments using the MM5 forecast model. Roles of orography, surface sensible heat flux and an upper-level potential vorticity anomaly are identified using factor separation method. Results of model simulations show that orography blocking is responsible for g...
