forecasting of municipal waste generation is a critical challenge for decision making and planning,because proper planning and operation of a solid waste management system is intensively affected by municipal solid waste (msw) streams analysis and accurate predictions of solid waste quantities generated. due to dynamic and complexity of solid waste management system, models by artificial intell...

this paper expands a model different from existing models to analyze the cost and benefit of areinforced concrete solar chimney power plant (rcscpp) built in the desert regions of iran.based on the model and some assumptions for values of parameters, this paper calculates totalnet present value (tnpv) and the minimum electricity price in each phase by dividing the wholeservice period into four ...

in the tradition of philosophy prime matter has been often accepted as a genuine aristotelian concept. however, this has been doubted by some modern scholars. the dispute is mainly whether aristotle committed to prime matter or not. on the other hand, some scholars still endorse prime matter as a part of aristotle’s philosophy. prime matter is tied up to the problem of generation. generation, i...

in this paper, exergy of conditioned air, exergy efficiency, irreversibility, and entropy generation of common models of evaporative cooling have been investigated in five cities of iran. direct evaporative cooling (dec), indirect evaporative cooling (iec), and two-stage iec/dec as the most popular methods of cooling have been modeled. atmospheric conditions are considered as the dead state of ...

twenty four cowpea varieties were raised at niab and arri, faisalabad selected for plant height (42-136cm) days taken to 95 % flowering (62-79 days) and for diseases resistance (0.67-7 rating). infestation was maximum on it-97k-461-4, 1068-7, it-97k 1042-8 and it-98k-558-1 and was graded as susceptible. maximum grain yield was recorded in elite (649 kg/ha) and lowest grain yield was observed in...
