A computer model was created using compressor and
condenser performance data to simulate vapor-compression
ammonia refrigeration system performance under various
operating conditions and strategies. The model was used to
estimate energy, demand, and cost savings resulting from
reduced condensing pressures.
Two ammonia refrigeration systems were selected for the
investigation into...
The treatment of certain types of cancers brings with it serious physiological and
psychological side effects in cancer survivors, including: decreased aerobic capacity,
muscle wasting, body composition changes, fatigue, and a diminished overall quality of
life. Exercise may directly influence the physiological side effects of cancer and cancer
treatment, and...
Virginia Woolf was a self-proclaimed atheist, yet her fictional and personal writing
reveal her ecstatic consciousness. Characters in Woolf s novels experience ecstasy, and
her letters and diaries support the theory that she herself had experienced ecstatic
consciousness. Major figures in the philosophy of religion assert that ecstatic
consciousness is...
Metabolic defects within the different tissues and cell types of the eye give rise to many human ocular diseases. Polymorphisms in the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) family have been associated with many ocular disorders, particularly Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1). Mutations in CYP1B1 have been linked to ocular diseases such as Primary...
The term, spirituality, as used in this study, refers
to that part of our lives that has the deepest meaning,
that which nurtures each of us and moves us toward wholeness.
It is the basis for which we live out our lives,
following our own truths with honesty and commitment....
Knowledge of Drosophila suzukii's preference for an attractive trap design and bait can be used to improve detection and management of this new invasive fruit pest. Desired trap and bait attributes include: high D. suzukii capture and species specificity; early-season detection prior to significant crop damage; higher capture of females...
Groundwater overdraft in the Wilcox Groundwater Basin, as a consequence of increasing rates of agricultural groundwater withdrawal, has led to significant regional groundwater level decline and threatens to undermine the basin’s long-term water resource security. Updated characterization of the basin’s water resource conditions and agricultural water demand is critically important...
Running economy (RE) is the amount of oxygen utilized (ml.kg⁻¹min⁻¹) when
running a fixed speed, and it has been demonstrated to be an important factor
determining race performance in distance runners. There is evidence that running
economy and/or maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) improves over the course
of a training season...
