Investigation of a Radiantly Heated and Cooled Office with an Integrated Desiccant Ventilation Unit
(2009-05-15)
Radiant heating and cooling has a reputation of increasing the comfort level and reducing the energy consumption of buildings. The main advantages of radiant heating and cooling are low operational noise and reduced fan ...
Synthesis and characterization of melamine-based dendrimers with potential biological applications
(2009-05-15)
The convergent strategy towards dendrimer synthesis is well-suited to generate macromolecules with a diverse periphery, at the expense of time and effort, while the divergent strategy has historically been effective at ...
Early age delamination in concrete pavements made with gravel aggregates
(2009-06-02)
Gravel aggregates had been used extensively in the Houston District of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for continuously reinforced concrete pavements construction for many years. However, some of these pavements ...
An empirical examination of the role of characteristics of the format, standard setting alliance and alliance partners in the market acceptance of formats
(2009-05-15)
New product introductions rely on technologies that are often subject to strongly contested standards wars. In an attempt to ensure that the technical formats that their products are built upon, are the ones that gain ...
Polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants in the antarctic environment
(2009-05-15)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are anthropogenic chemicals whose
environmental behavior is similar to the well-known polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Few studies have quantified the amount and distribution of PBDEs ...
Natural enemies and mortality factors of the coffee leafminer Leucoptera coffeella (Guerin-Meneville) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) in Chiapas, Mexico
(2009-05-15)
Through field surveys and laboratory experiments, this study assessed in part the
impacts of host plant, natural enemies, and weather variables on coffee leafminer
Leucoptera coffeella distribution and abundance at two ...
An Evaluation of the Bioclimatic Chart for Choosing Design Strategies for a Thermostatically-Controlled Residence in Selected Climates
(2009-05-15)
To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy
efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still
rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
Fluorescent-detected retrotranslocation of an endoplasmic reticulum - associated degradation (ERAD) substrate in a mammalian in vitro system
(2009-05-15)
Secretory proteins that are unable to assemble into native proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are transported back into the cytosol for degradation. Many cytosolic and ER resident proteins have been identified so ...
U.S. southeastern shrimp and reef fish resources and their management
(2009-05-15)
Catch rates of target and non-target species from commercial shrimp and reef
fish fisheries operating in the U.S. southeastern region and associated fishing practices
are provided in relation to an environmentally sound ...
Modeling of wet gas compression in twin-screw multiphase pump
(2009-05-15)
Twin-screw multiphase pumps experience a severe decrease in efficiency, even
the breakdown of pumping function, when operating under wet gas conditions.
Additionally, field operations have revealed significant vibration ...
