Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Passive Opportunity for Improving Air Quality in the Schools Environment: A Real-World Scale TestingPierpaoli Mattia, Fava GabrieleCan passive technology effectively enhance the indoor air quality? To improve classroom indoor air quality, an increase in ventilation and/or air purifiers are often suggested. In this study, a short-term intervention was implemented and investigated to evaluate the effects of a passive adsorbent surface on the pollutant deposition velocity and to improve the overall classroom air quality. We found that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2016 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKnowledge of Chemical Hazards and Prevalence of Darkroom Diseases among Darkroom Technicians and Assistants in Southeast, NigeriaMark C. Okeji, Felicitas U. Idigo, AngelMary C. Anakwue, Uloma NwoguDarkroom technicians and assistants are exposed daily to x-ray processing chemicals. These chemicals contain known irritants which can cause some disease symptoms to its handlers. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of chemical hazards and prevalence of darkroom diseases among darkroom technicians and assistants in Southeast, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey. A total of 105 … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Nov 2015 · 8,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF FLOW SEPARATION AT THE ENTRANCE OF SQUARE ASPIRATING PORTOlga A. Averkova, Ilya V. Kryukov, Kirill V. Plotnikov et al.We consider the flow at the inlet to the suction square hole with sharp edges, which is located in an infinite space. The purpose of this study is to construct a mathematical model of flow separation at the entrance to square suction canal with sharp edges, located in infinite space, by using square vortex frameworks. As a part of ideology … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 12 Nov 2014 · 6,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEAT INTENSITY OF URBAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN HOT HUMID CLIMATE REGIONBeta Paramita, Hiroatsu FukudaLarge numbers of inhabitants in a dense area require land coverage for sheltering purposes. The anthropogenic heat emission potentially reduces ventilation of urban areas and significantly brings changes in air temperature. This study is aimed at finding the correlations between urban form and the alteration of urban microclimate in different land-uses. This study has been carried out in Bandung, Indonesia, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BIOPHYSIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SETTLED LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY HOUSING DUSTSCarresse Gerald, Christi McPherson, Tha’Mes McDaniel et al.The levels and composition of agricultural dusts are influenced by animal species, production strategy, housing type and ventilation efficiency. Agricultural dust within animal houses is complex and consists of feed particles, microbes and their products, dander, fecal matter, gases, metals and other organic and inorganic components. Livestock and poultry production facilities may be categorized as confinement, semi-confinement or pasture-based. Characterization … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Jan 2014 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAirway Metrics, Anatomy and Growth Performance of Pigs Reared Indoors and OutdoorsChakia Joi McClendon, Sherrell Pettiford, Dawn Conklin et al.While the swine industry has made incredible strides to improve ventilation, air quality in confinement buildings remains an issue. The goal of this study is to characterize correlation between large airway metrics and growth performance in piglets reared indoors and outdoors on pasture. Three experimental trials were conducted: Trial 1 included three breed types that were strictly raised indoors, Tamworth … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 24 Sep 2013 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFire Design: Direct Comparison Between Fire Curves. The Case Study of a NurseryMara Lombardi, Giuliano Rossi, Nicolò Sciarretta, Nino OrangesAccording to fire safety engineering, the present study analyzes fire design settings for simulation of fire in a nursery and proposes to compare simulations developed with a natural fire curve and nominal fire curve. Comparative analysis was developed according to thermo-fluid dynamic parameters that are relevant to the safety of the exposed and for the representative period of the danger … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2013 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Automatic IncubatorSiriluk Sansomboonsuk, Chagorn Phonhan, Girati PhonhanThe designing of an automatic incubator consists of three main parts. The first part is a mathematical model of an incubator. Thermo-physical properties of selected materials were substituted to investigate its heat transfer characteristics. The second part is the consideration of equipment used to measure and control temperature and humidity. The last part is to select the controller for an … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 29 May 2012 · 14,921 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Hyperoxia on Brain Tissue Oxygen Tension in Non-Sedated, Non- Anesthetized Arctic Ground Squirrels: An Animal Model of Hyperoxic StressYilong Ma, Shufen Wu, Lawrence DuffyArctic Ground Squirrels (AGS) are classic hibernators known for their tolerance to hypoxia. AGS have been studied as a model of hypoxia with potential as a medical research model. Problem statement: Their unique resistance to the stressors of low oxygen led us to hypothesize that AGS might also be adaptable to hyperoxia. Approach: This study examined the physiological pattern associated … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,476 accessesView PDFCite
