Solar chimney power plants are plants based on solar thermal power including three parts of collector, chimney and turbine, which is able to produce electrical energy. One of the effective parameters in increasing the power production is the collector angles versus horizon. In the present study, a numerical analysis of a solar chimney power plant for different angles of the collector (divergent...

The history of doctors' private book collections was recently detailed by Thornton (1949) and started as early as the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; the majority disappeared upon the death of the collector and no lists remain. These were purely working libraries initially, but true collections soon evolved. Francis Bernard, physician to James I, left nearly 15 000 books that were sold by au...

Wet-collector systems, designed and operated for air-pollution control without concern for or con­ sideration of the stream-pollution effects of their liquid-borne wastes, may cause significant localized pollution of surface and ground water bodies. Wet­ collector systems can be designed with presently known technology to decrease contaminants in effluent outfalls to acceptable levels. Increasi...

In direction, goal present analysis detailed investigation different thermal systems for domestic hot water production climate zones Greece. Four typical cities are studied ord...

The phenomenon of ion induced sputtering is integral to many applications. In magnetically confined fusion, this sputtering is important for both the lifetime of the plasma facing components and the contamination of the plasma. A method has been developed to obtain both the angular distribution and the total sputtering yield. The total yield is determined by collecting the sputtered material on...

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), utilizing the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a mobile data collector for the ground sensor nodes (SNs) is an energy-efficient technique to prolong the network lifetime. Specifically, since the UAV can sequentially move close to each of the SNs when collecting data from them and thus reduce the link distance for saving the SNs’ transmission energy. In this l...

UNLABELLED The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a state-of-the-art technology that produces high throughput data with high resolution mutation information in the genome. Numerous methods with different efficiencies have been developed to predict mutational effects in the genome. The challenge is to present the results in a balanced manner for better biological insights and interpretation. He...

The World Wide Web has emerged as one of the most widely available and diverse information sources of all time, yet the options for accessing this information are limited. This paper introduces CWIC, the Continuous Web Image Collector, a system that automatically traverses selected Web sites collecting and analyzing images, then presents them to the user using one of a variety of available disp...

introduction the significant of solar energy as a renewable energy source, clean and without damage to the environment, for the production of electricity and heat is of great importance. furthermore, due to the oil crisis as well as reducing the cost of home heating by 70%, solar energy in the past two decades has been a favorite of many researchers. solar collectors are devices for collecting ...

We have designed and implemented a new garbage collector for the Standard ML of New JerseySystem (SML/NJ). This collector has higher performance, lower latency and generally requires lessphysical memory than the existing SML/NJ collector. In addition, it is able to exploit the largesecondary caches found on modern workstations. This paper describes the design of the collector,an...
