The increasing rate of urbanization and rate of population growth over the 20th century has led to various problems such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and lack of open and green spaces that have affected the cities and their citizen's life. This condition has led to increasing demands for more land use, homes, and work places, more public transport and mass transit systems and modern in...

Magnetic resonance image (MRI) is the most sensitive imaging test of the spine in routine clinical practice. Unlike conventional x-ray examinations and computed tomography scans, high-quality magnetic resonance images can be assured only if patients are able to remain perfectly still. However, some patients find it uncomfortable to remain still because of pain. In that condition, interlaminar c...

A periodic increase in blood pressure (BP) occurs during apneic episodes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Several factors including hypoxemia and an increase in heart rate (HR) were reported to be responsible for this increased BP. To examine the contribution of these two factors in increasing BP, 35 healthy male subjects (mean age±SD= 23.64±3.80) were studied in three experi...

In this paper, we propose a novel air-conditioning system that will be effective for wide public space such as a concourse of railway station, exhibition hall or museum. In these spaces, conventional air-conditioners are not enough, since the air-conditioner sends a wind to also empty area and where the temperature is already sufficient. Generally, it is difficult to ventilate effectively to th...

The effect of the volume flow rate of the heat transfer fluid (air) on the thermal parameters of the solar air collector with a single air pass without using fins under the absorbing plate have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. We use a new design of solar air collector which aims to optimize these parameters in the region cited above. Our solar air collector was realized at t...

Abstract The presence of a ventilated air cavity between the external cladding and wall core assembly can have varying contribution to thermal performance building envelope. In particular, resistance air-space is dynamic parameter that influenced by various thermo-physical parameters. this study, theoretical definition behind an introduced, employing non-linear network resistances in air-space....
