It is important to consider the thermal management of lithium-ion batteries overcome their limitations in usage and improve performance life cycles. In this study, a novel cooling system for battery packs proposed by using an inner cylinder channel different-shaped nanoparticles base fluid, which used as medium. The improvements 20 Ah capacity are compared water–boehmite alumina (AlOOH) nanoflu...

This study focuses on the radiological characterisation of building materials manufactured in Albania by using a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer. The average activity concentrations of (40)K, (226)Ra and (232)Th were, respectively, 644.1±64.2, 33.4 ± 6.4 and 42.2 ± 7.6 Bq kg(-1) in the clay brick samples and 179.7 ± 48.9, 55.0 ± 5.8 and 17.0 ± 3.3 Bq kg(-1) in the cement samples. The cal...

This technique has also been used extensively in studies on the structure of pox viruses. Horne & Wildy (1963) have reviewed the results obtained by various investigators working with this group of viruses. The more recently published findings of Buttner, Giese, Muller & Peters (1964) and Peters, Muller & Buttner (1964) suggest that the viruses of the pox group can be divided into the following...

An investigation of the mechanical response of the human head subject to externally applied forces is analysed using the finite element method (FEM). The model's geometry description is based on individual 3D MRI datasets of the head. After segmentation the MRI data serves as input to a fully automated mesh generator. The underlying algorithms of the mesh generator are stable and fast. Isotropi...

The objective of this study was to detect the fluoride level in the drinking water and the urine of habitants aged 16-55 years living in Inner Mongolia China. Furthermore, fluoride concentration of the brick tea infusion samples which were drunk by Mongolia herdsmen in everyday life living in SumuErga village of Ejin Horo Banner, Inner Mongolia China was also determined. A total of 117 particip...

We calculate the statistical entropy of a scalar field on the background of three-dimensional De Sitter space in terms of the brick wall method and finally derive the perimeter law of the entropy. ∗Electronic address: [email protected] 1 Entropy of black holes has an universal area law [1] and the entropy of the well-known Schwarzschild black hole satisfies the area law by means of thermal...

A large quantity of sludge is generated each year from water treatment plants in Egypt. Disposing the sludge to the nearest water stream is the common practice in Egypt, which accumulatively rise the aluminum concentrations in water and consequently in human bodies. This practice has been linked to occurrence of Alzheimer’s disease. Landfill disposal of the sludge is impractical because of the ...
