Due to congenital restriction of sensors, it is always a crucial issue on how to utilize limited energy effectively. We first put forward a network topology construction method, based on energy saving, including the way of forming a cluster and selecting middle heads and cluster heads. We then employed Simulated Annealing method to optimize energy consumption of the whole system. Results show t...

Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 290: R881–R891, 2006. First published November 10, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00156.2005.—Golden spiny mice, which inhabit rocky deserts and do not store food, must therefore employ physiological ...

in italy, several policy measures have been implemented in order to increase energy efficiencyand reduce carbon emissions especially concerning the household sector. however, in order to design andimplement these policy measures efficiently, it is necessary to get a better understanding of the factorsinfluencing household energy behavior. in this paper, by using disaggregated data from the 2009...

this present research work was carried out to evaluate the energy consumption in a typical iranian building based on the forecast of climatic variables. thus, the lars-wg model was validated for some northwest stations of iran, including tabriz, ardebil, oromieh, kermanshah, hamedan, sannandaj, qazvin, and zanjan. the average monthly outdoor temperature was forecasted from 2011 to 2100. the rel...

objective: the main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the energy consumption for drying of potato slices using vacuum-infrared drying method. methods: drying of potato slices with the thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3 mm were conducted at vacuum levels of zero (without vacuum), 20, 80 and 140 mm [hg], infrared radiation at power levels of 100, 150 and 200 w in the three repetition. resu...

the municipality of tehran is intending to construct a permanent international flower exhibition. the activities for construction began in the year 2006. the exhibition has three distinct areas namely “northern area”,”southern area” and “central area”. in northern and southern area the flowers are supposed to be preserved and in central area, they will be sold out. in the present st...

due to shortage of precipitation and the spatial and periodical disparity of rainfalls, iran iscounted among the arid and semi-arid countries of the world, and therefore the water utilities have put thecontrol of consumption and efficient use of water high on their priorities. water consumption management isconsidered as a field of energy management, and the impacts of effective measure related...
