Bioaerosols from cooling towers are often suspected to cause community-acquired legionellosis outbreaks. Although Legionella infections can mostly be assigned to the emission sources, uncertainty exists about the release and distribution into the air, the occurrence of the respirable virulent form and the level of the infective concentration. Our study aimed to evaluate studies on legionellosis...

We describe a criterion for real or complex hyperbolic lattice to admit residually finite rational solvable (RFRS) tower that consists entirely of congruence subgroups. use this show certain Bianchi groups PSL 2 (

this article is a comparative evaluation of airflow in two kinds of yazdi and kermani wind-towers. in the late decades of twenty century regarding to high population growth rate and energy crisis, vernacular architecture and its passive methods for gaining thermal comfort, has been strongly focused. moreover, a huge scientific movement setup for researches deep in exploring passive cooling and ...

We give mathematical reformulations of the cardinals p and t in terms of families of Borel functions. As an application we show that t is invariant under the addition of a single Cohen real.

We give a general recipe for explicitly constructing asymptotically optimal towers of modular curves such as {X0(l)}n>1. We illustrate the method by giving equations for eight towers with various geometric features. We conclude by observing that such towers are all of a specific recursive form and speculate that perhaps every tower of this form which attains the Drinfeld-Vlăduţ bound is modular...

design and construction of efficient and economic reinforced concrete (r.c.) hyperbolic cooling towers have driven the engineers toward the design of tall and thin-shell towers which have considerable high slenderness aspect ratio. consequently, the shell of r.c. cooling towers with relative high slenderness aspect ratio is extremely prone to buckling instability due to wind loading. to increas...

exergy analysis and response surface methodology (rsm) is applied to reduce the exergy loss and improve energy and exergy efficiency of acetic acid production plant. exergy analysis is run as a thermodynamic tool to assess exergy loss in reactor and towers of acetic acid production process. the process is simulated in aspen plus(v.8.4) simulator and the necessary thermodynamics data for calcula...

Walter D. Goldberger and Ira Z. Rothstein Dept. of Physics, Yale University, New Haven CT 06520, USA Dept. of Physics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA 15213, USA Abstract In this essay we introduce a theoretical framework designed to describe black hole dynamics. The difficulties in understanding such dynamics stems from the proliferation of scales involved when one attempts to simult...
