Abstract: Ambient House is a building that maintains indoor temperature within a comfortable range by controlling gains and losses from ambient sources and utilizing thermal mass to moderate temperature changes when the sources are ...

Abstract: This study tests the feasibility of a more climate-friendly approach to space conditioning. This new strategy (called Ambient House) employs thermal mass in conjunction with ambient sources of heat and cold to maintain ...

Abstract: The potential of sky radiation (SR) to serve the latent space cooling loads was evaluated. Using ASHRAE standard 55 comfort limits (room temperature 22 °C, relative humidity 60%, and dew-point temperature 13.9 °C), ...

Abstract: Hemolysis (damage to red blood cells) is a long-standing problem in blood contacting devices, and its prediction has been the goal of considerable research. The most popular model relating hemolysis to fluid stresses is ...

Abstract: Solar electric production systems with energy storage were simulated and compared, including an ammonia thermochemical cycle, compressed air energy storage (CAES), pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), vanadium flow ...

Abstract: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics are thought to play a vital role in central nervous system (CNS) physiology. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of spinal cord (SC) nerve roots (NR) on CSF dynamics. ...
