Buildings contain the environment in which almost all human activities take place, and therefore, nowadays, they represent a great sink of energy.Establishing thermal comfort conditions within these buildings is responsible for a large portion of their energy demand.This paper aims at providing a theoretical framework of the performance and the tre

Components of immune systems face significant selective pressure to efficiently use organismal resources, mitigate infection, and resist parasitic manipulation.A theoretically optimal immune defense balances investment in constitutive and inducible immune components depending on the kinds of parasites encountered, but genetic and Protein Cookies dy

For compact and efficient actuation, miniature hydraulic system has overwhelming superiority in power to weight ratio.However, it always involves nonlinear interferences like variable hose volume or oil bulk modulus, which greatly restricts control performance for the actuation.In this paper, a miniature hydraulic volume-controlled Lids actuation s

The current study focused to determine significant cardiovascular risk factors through principal component factor analysis (PCFA) among three generations on 1827 individuals in three generations including 911 males (378 from offspring, 439 from parental and 94 from grand-parental generations) and 916 females (261 from offspring, 515 from parental a

The importance of the decennial census is clear, but the 2020 Census faced unprecedented challenges with unknown effects on data Aromatherapy quality.To assist data users in identifying deviations between expected counts and the released counts across population and housing indicators, we developed the 2020 Census County Assessment Tool.The tool of
