Optimum sizing of steam turbines for concentrated solar power plants حسب Poullikkas, Andreas

"…The results indicate that the estimated efficiency and the expected specific capital cost of the power block are very important criteria in choosing the best steam turbine size of a CSP plant. For capacity sizes of 10kWe up to 50MWe, the steam turbine efficiency increases and the steam turbine expected specific capital cost of the power block decreases at a high rate, whereas for larger sizes they remain almost constant. …"

Qatar’s immigrants at higher risk of diabetes حسب Nature Research (16552612)

"…The researchers stress, however, that their preliminary results should be confirmed in future studies involving larger numbers of participants. 1 “We would advise the Qatari government to screen all immigrants entering the country, as this would decrease the risk of unnecessary complications due to the late diagnosis of diabetes,” says lead author Dennis Mook-Nakamori. …"

Electrochemical response in ionic polymer transducers حسب Akle, Barbar J.

"…Ionomeric polymer transducers consist of an ion-conducting membrane, usually Nafion or Flemion, sandwiched between two metal electrodes. By applying a low voltage (up to 2 V), a relatively large bending deformation (>5% strain) can be obtained. …"

On the relationship between the electric double layer and actuation in ionomeric polymer transducers حسب Akle, Barbar J.

"…Previous work showed that actuation performance of ionic polymer transducers is strongly correlated with the capacitance due to surface charge accumulation. Increasing the capacitance of the actuator increases the motion of the charges and increases the strain produced under the application of an electric field. …"

Experimental investigation of the seismic response of Baalbek colonnade. (c2018) حسب Estephan, Johnny Boutros

"…Stability curves were developed for each type of columns and displacements were measured in both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions using a laser motion sensor. The study found that colonnades under in-plane excitations are more vulnerable to collapse as the number of columns increases. …"
