The impact of shade on the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption in buildings is not automatically included in whole building energy simulations. Using transient system simulation (TRNSYS) software, models of the Union County Housing Authority’s energy efficient duplex enable the calculation of a monetary value for shading from trees, adjacent buildings, or shade ...

infectious bronchitis (ib) and newcastle disease (nd) are highly contagious and the most economically important diseases of the poultry affecting respiratory tract and causing economic losses in poultry industry throughout the world. in the present study, the simultaneous detection and differentiation of causative agents of these diseases were investigated using duplex-rt-pcr. rna was extracted...

The hyper-constrained nucleoside, methylene-bridged hexopyranosyl nucleoside (BHNA) was incorporated into the antisnese oligonucleotides (AON), which show more preference for binding toward the complementary RNA (Tm loss by ca 5°C) than that with the complementary DNA (Tm loss by 10°C), vis-à-vis corresponding native duplex. The origin of reduction of Tm of the duplexes formed by the BHNA incor...

This chapter summarizes theoretically achievable gains and the construction of practical codes for user-cooperation. Most of these results relate to the relay channel, which is a three-terminal channel that captures the essence of usercooperation and serves as one of the primary building blocks for cooperation on a larger scale. In investigating the fundamental limits of relaying, we present in...

Assured security is the desirable feature of modern cryptography. Most of modern cryptography primitives have no provably secure constructions. Their safety is defined on the basis of well-known in the given time cryptanalytic attacks. The duplex construction equipped with one ideal permutation and appropriate security parameters is suitable for building provably secure cryptographic primitives...

Infectious bronchitis (IB) and Newcastle disease (ND) are highly contagious and the most economically important diseases of the poultry affecting respiratory tract and causing economic losses in poultry industry throughout the world. In the present study, the simultaneous detection and differentiation of causative agents of these diseases were investigated using duplex-RT-PCR. RNA was extracted...

More than 50 years after Watson and Crick unraveled the secondary structure of the canonical B-formDNA duplex, the function of the pyrimidine–purine nucleobase pairing and the importance of the charged phosphodiester backbone are well established. However, the chemical and evolutionary necessity for the rather complicated deoxyribose and ribose moiety in the backbone of DNA and RNA, respectivel...

background: atherosclerosis of the peripheral arteries occurs in 12% of individuals at 65 years of age or older. at least 28% of these patients suffer from coronary heart diseases and 10% of them are afflicted with cerebrovascular diseases. to calculate the agreement between two diagnostic tests for peripheral arterial disease (pad), namely ankle brachial index (abi) and ultrasound duplex scann...

conclusions la increases the risk of cva and dementia. the la pathology is unknown. the epidemiological studies revealed the age, diabetes, smoking and atherosclerosis are related with la. our findings showed that cimt as an atherosclerosis marker was higher in la patients than control group. results totally 200 patients were studied, 102 in normal group and 98 in ila group. the mean age of pat...
