Recovery of postischemic function may be limited by energy synthesis by mitochondria, energy transfer via the creatine kinase reaction, or energy utilization at myofibrils. To identify the limiting step, we defined the relations among oxygen consumption, creatine kinase reaction velocity and cardiac performance in myocardium reperfused following mild, moderate, and severe ischemia. Isolated iso...

The indicator of specific (per capita) electricity consumption (SEC) is stabilising in developed countries and increasing developing economies. At least since the mid-2000s, difference between two groups terms available power has been decreasing. In contrast to this trend, transition Russia a market economy characterised by divergence regions SEC. SEC regions, being on average similar that Neth...

This work evaluates the impacts of ambient temperature and trip characteristics on energy consumption an electric vehicle (EV) during road tests. The are here defined by driving distance, stop time percentage average speed. analysis uses data collected from real-world EV in one most populous metropolitan regions UK for almost four years, using a dedicated monitoring software real-time processin...

Abstract The recycling of lead acid batteries (LABs) comprises relevant concerns on the suitable methodologies to recover lead. In this investigation, two electrorefining processes, by using acidic and alkaline electrolytes, have been compared determine most significant results both methodologies. Acidic electrolytes used 200 g/L HBF 4 , 1.2 H 3 PO 10 BO 100 PbO, while ones employed 120 NaOH, 7...

The increased global demand for metallic nanoparticles for an ever growing number of applications has given rise to a need for larger scale and more efficient nanoparticle (NP) production processes. In this paper one such process is evaluated from the viewpoints of scalability and energy efficiency. Multiple setups of different scale of an arc/spark process were evaluated for energy efficiency ...

the rice conversion process is an agricultural transformative industry that consumes a great deal of fossil fuel and electricity. in this study, the effect of different factors on energy consumption, energy consumption index and whitening index were investigated. the experimental design was a split plot design with four whitening periods (15, 30, 45, 60s) (main plot), three rice varieties (khaz...

The study targeted towards drying of cantaloupe slices with various thicknesses in a microwave dryer. experiments were carried out at three powers 180, 360, and 540 W 2, 4, 6 mm for drying, the weight variations determined. Artificial neural networks (ANN) adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) exploited to investigate energy exergy indices using afore-mentioned input parameters. result...

thin layer drying of russian olive (elaeagnusan gastifolial l.) fruit using a hot air dryer in order to calculate effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy and energy consumption has been evaluated in this article. the selected variables included three levels of air velocity of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 m/s and three air temperature levels of 50, 60 and 70°c. increased air temperature increased ef...
