the present paper investigates the effect of production factors, including technology, physical capital and labour on the energy consumption intensity of iran. for this purpose, time series data during the period of (1974-2007) have been analyzed within cobb–douglas production function framework. the results of the study indicate that the technology and the physical capital have caused the aver...

Dietary methionine restriction (MR) is a mimetic of chronic dietary restriction (DR) in the sense that MR increases rodent longevity, but without food restriction. We report here that MR also persistently increases total energy expenditure (EE) and limits fat deposition despite increasing weight-specific food consumption. In Fischer 344 (F344) rats consuming control or MR diets for 3, 9, and 20...

introduction thermal processing has a huge impact on the textural attribute of the final food product and texture is a major factor contributing the overall quality of food. ohmic heating is an advanced thermal processing method in which heat is internally generated within foods by passing an alternating electric current through them. ohmic heating can volumetrically heat the entire mass of a f...

Periodical Data collection from unreachable remote terrain and then transmit information to a base station is one of the targeted application of sensor networks. The energy restriction of battery powered sensor nodes is a big challenge for this network as it is difficult or in some cases not feasible to change the power supply of motes. Therefore, in order to keep the networks operating for lon...

this experiment was conducted to compare the effects of quantitative feed restriction and meal feeding on the performance, carcass compositions and ascites syndrome in male broiler chickens (ross 308). in this study, 5 schedule feed restrictions include: 1) ad libitum food intake (al group), 2) feeding maintenance energy requirement from 7 to 14 d of age 3) feeding to support 50% of the normal ...

The brain is considered to use a relatively small amount of energy for its efficient information processing. Under a severe restriction on the energy consumption, the maximization of mutual information (MMI), which is adequate for designing artificial processing machines, may not suit for the brain. The MMI attempts to send information as accurate as possible and this usually requires a suffici...

Smart meters that allow information to flow between users and utility service providers are expected foster intelligent energy consumption. Previous studies focusing on demand-side management have been predominantly restricted factors utilities can manage manipulate, but ignored specific residential characteristics. They also often presume households consume similar amounts of electricity. To f...
