in this study, thermal performance of a cylindrical heat pipe is investigated numerically. three different types of water based nanofluids, namely (al2o3+water), (diamond+water) and (multi-wall carbon nano tube (mwcnt) +water) have been used. the influence of using the simple nanofluids and mwcnt nanofluid on the heat pipe characteristics such as liquid velocity, pressure profile, temperature p...

Blood pressure and heart rate of 15 male shift workers were measured every 15 minutes for 24 hours during three work shifts: morning, 4:00 AM to noon; afternoon, noon to 8:00 PM; and night, 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM. For each shift, 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed a large "trough" (the low pressure span) and a continuous range of elevated pressure (the high pressure span). Fourier...

[Purpose] Forest walking may be effective for human health, but little information is available about effects of energy expenditure on blood pressure responses after forest walking. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the activity energy expenditure and changes in blood pressure in individuals after forest walking. [Subjects] The subjects were 54 middle-aged and el...

The non-intercepting Beam Induced Fluorescence (BIF) monitor for transverse beam profile measurements was successfully tested for different ion species and energies from 5 to 750 MeV/u at the GSI accelerators [1]. Starting from its first implementation [2] we systematically investigated technical aspects such as the proper choice of optics and gain factors, as well as physical aspects like the ...
