The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of a double-layer roof in collecting solar energy as an application to the areas such as raising high-end temperature of organic Rankine cycle (ORC). The by-product of the solar roof is to reduce building air-conditioning loads. The experimental apparatus are arranged to evaluate the effects of the solar roof in absorbing solar energy. ...

We propose a path loss model with an over-roof propagation path between mobile terminals in residential areas. A double knife-edge diffraction model shows that over-roof propagation loss can be accurately estimated. Measurement results confirm the estimation accuracy of the new model.

Emx1 and Emx2 are mouse cognates of the Drosophila head gap gene, ems. Previously we have reported that the dentate gyrus is affected in Emx2 single mutants, and defects are subtle in Emx1 single mutants. In most of the cortical region Emx1 and Emx2 functions would be redundant. To test this assumption here we examined the Emx1 and Emx2 double mutant phenotype. In the double mutants the archipa...

The roof slab of the nuclear reactor supports all components and sub-systems. Roof needs to resist seismic loads in accordance with load-carrying criteria. static stress analysis reveals that high-stress concentration was present pump penetration shell (PPS) which primary sodium pump. This paper presents assessment collapse load optimization shell, through reliability approach, accounting for m...

Double-shell cobalt monoxide (CoO) hollow particles were successfully synthesized by a facile and effective one-pot solution-based synthetic route. The inner architecture and outer structure of the double-shell CoO hollow particles could be readily created through controlling experimental parameters. A possible formation mechanism was proposed based on the experimental results. The current synt...

The fine structure of the several layers and regional specializations in the Drosophila melanogaster eggshell has been studied by a combination of shell isolation procedures and ultrastructural techniques (conventional TEM, whole-mount TEM, SEM, HVEM, freeze-fracture electron microscopy utilizing rotary replication, shadow casting, optical diffraction and stereo imaging). The main shell consist...

Most traditional elementary school classrooms here do not have air-conditioners and it often feel stuffy in classrooms located in the top floors. In addition, traditional classrooms widely have noise problem, so do the open educational classrooms. If the windows and doors are closed to reduce noise, it will result in the phenomenon of stuffiness, which largely prevents the external air entering...
