In this letter, it is shown that dark energy is contributed by riccion (a particle concept for physical aspect of the Ricci scalar curvature) in a natural way without any input in the theory for it. In contrast to other models, where an idea for dark energy is introduced in the beginning of the theory, here it emerges from the gravitational sector spontaneously. Interestingly, it is found that ...

Aerodynamic testing of low-rise structures is fraught with difficulties that can be the cause of large measurement errors, resulting in the underestimation of aerodynamic pressures by a factor of as much as two. The errors are primarily attributable to the inadequate knowledge and simulation of wind flows affecting low-rise buildings, especially residential homes in suburban environments. A typ...

BACKGROUND Demographic, economic and behavioural factors are central features underpinning the successful management and biological control of dengue. This study aimed to examine these factors and their association with the seroprevalence of this disease. METHODOLOGY We conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey of households in a 3 km radius of the schools where we had conducted serologica...

In this study, we discussed the effects on the thermal comfort of super high-rise residences that how effected by the high thermal capacity structural components. We considered different building orientations, structures, and insulation methods. We used the dynamic simulation software THERB (simulation of the thermal environment of residential buildings). It can estimate the temperature, humidi...

in the present study, the effect of core on shear lag phenomenon in tubular structures is investigated. three different tubular structure models including model without core, model with central core and model with central core but eliminated in last 15 stories have been analyzed. a shear lag index is defined for evaluating these models. from examination of the results, the effective influence o...

An important and largely unstudied aspect of the apparent relation between residential crowding and mental health is the potential role of environmental design to moderate this relation. An epidemiological investigation reveals that the type of housing children inhabit alters mental health correlates of residential crowding. Third and fourth grade Austrian children (n=1,236) from small towns an...

Hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) was studied by using mono- and bidentate p-cymene ruthenium(ii) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes as catalyst precursors. In water, all complexes were found to be reduced in situ to form ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) with a high hydrogenation activity. In organic solvents, complexes with monodentate NHC ligands also formed nan...
