The increase of condenser temperature and pressure in air-conditioning leads to decreased cooling capacity the power consumption. Evaporative could improve thermal performance system. In this study, evaporative module was installed before reduce inlet air unit. impact on conditioning system's overall determined by varying pad discharge water flowrate 880, 1040, 1200 mL/min. load 2000 W employed...

Greenhouses are used for the main purpose of improving the environmental conditions in which plants are grown. There are many parameters can affect the growing of plants inside greenhouse, such as air temperature and relative humidity. The adjustment of these parameters is achieved by selecting appropriate control actions. This work proposes a controlling technique for greenhouse indoor tempera...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the association of family history of peripheral artery disease (PAD) with PAD prevalence and severity. BACKGROUND PAD is a significant public health problem. Shared genetic and environmental factors may play an important role in the development of PAD. However, family history of PAD has not been investigated adequately. METHODS The San D...

Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is prevalent in the Medicare population and is associated with high rates of myocardial infarction, stroke, amputation, and death. Nevertheless, national health expenditures for PAD are not known. We hypothesized that PAD-related costs are high, increase with age, and that treatment rates would be less than known PAD prevalence. The objective wa...

A mathematical model, numerical algorithm and program code for simulation and long-term forecasting of changes in permafrost as a result of operation of a multiple well pad of northern oil and gas field are presented. In the model the most significant climatic and physical factors are taken into account such as solar radiation, determined by specific geographical location, heterogeneous structu...

A 7.1-kbp DNA fragment isolated from a wild strain of Klebsiella oxytoca was sequenced, leading to the identification of 10 open-reading frames (ORFs), including a 504-bp Pad gene. The Pad gene of the Gram-negative bacterium was subsequently expressed in Escherichia coli as a chimeric Pad. The deduced amino acid (AA) sequence of the Pad gene from wild-type K. oxytoca showed approximately 50% ho...

OBJECTIVE Low levels of fetuin-A, a systemic calcification inhibitor, are linked to mortality in patients on dialysis. In contrast, elevated fetuin-A is associated with cardiovascular events in non-renal patients. We investigated fetuin-A in patients with type 2 diabetes and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied fetuin-A in 76 patients with PAD and normal g...
