Significant energy is used to provide and maintain environmental conditions for thermal comfort in high-rise residential buildings, which largely depends on the components of the shell design. Therefore, to achieve high amounts of energy savings in buildings, high-impact design measures must first be defined and then optimized. This study seeks to answer the question of how the components of th...

Water requirements in many large water supply systems are provided by mixing water withdrawal from surface and underground resources with different quantity and quality.Water supply from underground sources requires energy consumption and surface water resources are limited and unstable.The aim of this research is managing optimal supply of required water of system with minimum energy cost and ...

A study was conducted in 2009/2010 cropping season in order to determine energy input/out put and productivity of potato and sugar beet production systems in Isfahan province, Central Iran. The data used in this study was based on data collected from growers by using a face to face survey. Total energy consumption and total out put enegy in potato production systems were calculated to be about ...

This paper concentrates on a new procedure which experimentally recognises gears and bearings faults of a typical gearbox system using a least square support vector machine (LSSVM). Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared to select an appropriate wavelet for feature extraction. The fault diagnosis method co...
