The Case Study of the Hospital Veneziale of IserniaRosa Francesca De Masi, Fabrizio Ascione, Gennaro Sosto, Giuseppe Peter VanoliMaximizing energy efficiency within hospitals and healthcare facilities is a major challenge for sustainable development and energy saving objectives. In this study, the case study of the public hospital of Isernia (Italian backcountry city) is proposed, being typical of the hospital building stock developed in reinforced concrete all around Italy in the last 40 years. Starting from deep on-site investigations, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 25 Sep 2017 · 8,352 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of the Contact Resistivity Variations of the Screen-Printed Silicon Solar CellShahrul Anizan, Khairymazalee Yusri, Cheow Siu Leong et al.Problem statement: Unmatched combination of emitter and base contact resistance will influence the total performance of the solar cell. To optimize this combination, single crystalline silicon solar cell was analyzed using quasi-one-dimensional transport of electrons and holes in crystalline semiconductor, PC1D. Approach: Effects of the resistance of the emitter and base contact have been investigated with a view to find … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 8,335 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Supplemental Lysine and Methionine on Growth Performance and Body Composition for Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)Hui Jun Yang, Yong Jian Liu, Li Xia Tian et al.Problem statement: The utilization of crystalline amino acids was detected for growth performance and body composition of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Approach: L-Lysine sulphate and Methionine Hydroxy Analog-Ca (MHA-Ca) were selected for determination. Two diets were formulated with or without amino acids supplementation. Each diet was assigned to 10 tanks in a completely randomized design for 8 weeks. Results: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,657 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Converting Secondary Forest on Tropical Peat Soil to Oil Palm Plantation on Carbon StorageCh’ng Huck Ywih, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Peat has been identified as one of the major groups of soils found in Malaysia. Sarawak as the largest state in Malaysia has the biggest reserve of peat-land. There are about 1.5 million ha of peat-land in Sarawak, which are relatively under developed. As is the case with any plant, oil palm trees do sequester carbon as they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,039 accessesView PDF Cite
