A phase-change material was added to filling materials in an appropriate proportion realize the effective collection and storage of geothermal energy. Based on theory heat transfer similarity, heat-storage performance body numerically simulated different states; then, influences paraffin proportion, initial temperature body, surrounding rock temperature, stope airflow velocity behavior were ana...

The objective of this study was to investigate development of the weight and the morphological development of the rectum in broiler chickens. Twenty broiler chickens (Ross 308) were used in this experiment and they were 12, 20, 35 and 44 days of age. Samples from the rectum of chicks were sectioned in an unbiased manner and examined quantitatively using stereology. In addition, the weight of bo...

Context Commercial beef and sheep producers have adopted using condition score for management of cows ewes to maximise productivity. Significant premiums are being paid bulls rams with higher-fat breeding values based on young animal measurements, the aim increased resilience in adult female progeny. Aims The this study was quantify relationship between body muscle fat also genetic variation th...

The positive relationship between trust and happiness is well documented in the well-being literature. However, it is not yet clear how much of this relationship is moderated across different environmental conditions. The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 is considered one of the most catastrophic events in human history. It caused not only severe physical damage for the Japanese people, but ...

Proportional-share scheduling has been investigated by many researchers including: Wald-spurger et. al. at MIT and by Stoica et. al. at Old Dominion University. This work, however, suuers from high overhead and limited scalability problems when applied to a distributed system. This paper presents an alternative approach to proportion-share scheduling, which overcomes these problems. Our system ...

Although the study of human body composition is advancing rapidly, confusion still prevails regarding the molecular-level lipid component. Most molecular-level body composition models are presently based on the overall hypothesis that nontriglyceride lipids constitute an insignificant proportion of total body lipid. A single lipid or "fat" component consisting of triglycerides is thus assumed i...

Background: Around one out of two mothers give births by cesarean section (CS) surgery in Iran and about half of this number is due to previous CS. Recently Health Sector Evolution (HSEP) program (started in April 2014) targets the high rate of CS in Iran. To assess the impact of the interventions, we emphasized that the First Birth Cesarean (FBC) proportion is one of the main indicators to ass...
