In recent years, energy consumption from electrical devices to foster air movement in regions with warm climates has risen, the resulting negative impact on environment. The purpose of this paper is evaluate performance a solar chimney used induce natural ventilation closed space, under weather conditions hot humid Mexican climate. For purpose, CFD simulations were run using RNG k- ɛ turbulence...

BACKGROUND The chimney graft (CG) technique was introduced to rescue accidentally covered aortic branches during aortic endovascular repair. It extends the sealing zone. There is concern about "gutter" type I endoleak (EL-I) and about the durability of CGs. The aim of the present report was to analyze the rapidly increasing existing data. METHODS A search was performed (PRISMA criteria) for a...

PURPOSE To present the 24-month radiological follow-up data for patients with pararenal aortic pathologies treated with chimney and periscope grafts during endovascular repair. METHODS Between January 2008 and December 2011, 124 high-risk patients with complex pararenal aortic pathologies were treated using the chimney technique at 2 European vascular and cardiovascular centers with advanced ...

BACKGROUND More than two-fifths of the world's population uses solid fuels, mostly biomass, for cooking. The resulting biomass smoke exposure is a major cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among women in developing countries. OBJECTIVE To assess whether lower woodsmoke exposure from use of a stove with a chimney, compared to open fires, is associated with lower markers of ai...

Elite migration and brain drain trend in Iran have undergone a dramatic ascent in the past few decades while we are seriously in need of educated manpower to help accomplish the 20-year national vision. So to consider brain drain is necessary and must be accounted by policymakers in all levels. In the upcoming paper, we study the brain drain as a social problem and elaborate a five-dimensional ...

The active venting Sisters Peak (SP) chimney on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge holds the current temperature record for the hottest ever measured hydrothermal fluids (400°C, accompanied by sudden temperature bursts reaching 464°C). Given the unprecedented temperature regime, we investigated the biome of this chimney with a focus on special microbial adaptations for thermal tolerance. The SP metagenome ...
