In Rondônia little is known about the behavior of solar radiation, thus follows in this paper the maximum annual distribution, minimum and average for global and direct solar radiation, the annual distribution of temperature, the maximum possible sunshine for the city of Rolim de Moura, thus providing useful information for planning and use of renewable resources.
The article aims at comparative cost analysis between two structural systems in reinforced concrete, one using solid slabs as flat elements and the other using unidirectional prefabricated ribbed slab with lattice beams.
Tafila wind turbines farm is the largest project of wind energy to generate the electricity in Jordan until now. The major Tafilawind turbines farm (38 wind turbines) presents a 117-Mega Watt (3.075 MW/ Turbine) wind turbine power. Total design/build phase of the project is 21 months and the operations phase is 20 years, the total cost of the project is 290 million $ with100% funded through private investment which produce about4 % of the national electricity demand each year that is enough electricity to power 85,000 homes.
The performance of a genetic algorithm (GA) depend on many factors: the selection method is one of them. It is well known that the genetic algorithm efficiency depends to a high degree upon the selection of the good GA operators and parameters that suitable to the different scheduling problems. In this paper, we find the selection methods of genetic algorithm that are more suitable for scheduling problem. Also, a number of selection methods used in scheduling problem have been described in this paper like random selection, roulette wheel selection, rank selection and tournament selection.
This study carried out a survey of native bee species and their floral resources at Ilha das Flores, an island located in the Babitonga Bay, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Specimens were captured with entomological nets, pantraps and aromatic baits. A total of 1,120 individual bees, representing 60 species distributed in four families and 47 plant species of 24 families, was sampled. Buzz-pollination by Centridini, Xylocopini and Bombini on Fabaceae plants, specific interaction between Emphorini and Convovulaceae and illegitimate visits were observed. Seasonal nesting was noticed.
Dicliptera paniculata,(Forssk.) I. Darbysh. is a plant belongs to the family Acanthaceae. Considering the less toxicity, notable medicinal property and least public awareness on the usefulness of the plant, the present study focused on the phytochemical, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties of the aerial part of the plant. Phytochemical screening and antioxidant potential of petroleum ether, acetone, 1-propanol and water extracts were carried out using standard procedures.
The aim of the present investigation was to study physic-chemical analysis of textile dye effluent and the biochemical parameters in the finger lings of Cyprinus carpio exposed to sub lethal concentrations of 72 and 96 hr of textile dyeing effluent for 30 days period. In the present study, total protein, total free amino acids, glycogen and glucose were observed in, gills, liver, kidney and muscle tissues of Cyprinus carpio.
Agriculture in the urban is practiced in a limited land with high population density, this suggested reasons to develop sweetpotato genotypes with high root yield per unit area. On this premise, a study was conducted in Umudike Southeastern Nigeria using 13 selected open pollinated sweetpotato genotypes in a 3m x 3m plot size of 9m2 in a randomized complete block design and replicated 3 times. The planting material was of 4 node vine cutting, planted on ridges spaced at 1.0m and planting at 0.3m within rows of sweetpotato stands.
The study aimed at formulating a herbal shampoo containing olive leaves extract and evaluating its physiochemical properties. Olive leaves extract in shampoo is commercially available in Palestine, but because the R&D departments do not get sufficient attention neither in the private nor in the public sector, most of those products are a reproduction of what has been produced in developed countries. Moreover, there are still few data available on their stability in literature.
Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by excess body mass in the individual who has no single cause and is not defined and is caused by several factors that acting together lead the individual to obesity and to develop numerous diseases that can lead the obese person to death . The research aimed to verify overweight and obesity in a population sample of 352 individuals in the city of Floriano, Piauí. Anthropometric measures were collected, such as height and weight for calculating BMI and abdominal circumference.
