Abstract	Considering the reduction of fossil fuel resources and the increase of environmental pollutions, everyone is aware of the importance of saving on consumption of energies generated from fossil fuels. Global statistics demonstrates that 30-40% of the energy across different countries worldwide is used in residential buildings. Therefore, one way of efficiency and optimization of energy consumption is to construct buildings that consume the least energy for heating and cooling. Aiming for the analysis of the total amount of annual energy required for heating and cooling, this research was conducted in a combined novel method (simulation and descriptive-analytic) on four samples of a two-story building, simulated in Design Builder Software in the four main directions of north, east, south, and west by using the weather data of warm climate, seeking the optimum orientation and ranking of the said buildings based on CO

Abstract	he aim of this study was to determine proximate composition and the profile of amino acids in the bones of three pelagic fish including: Gold stripe sardine (sardinella gibossa), anchovy kilka (Clupeonella engrauliformis) and Indian anchovy (Stolephorus indicus). Proximate composition of the bones showed maximum moisture and protein in the Indian anchovy. Maximum content of lipid and ash and highest ratio of ash/protein in the dry matter whiteout lipid was found in anchovy kilka. The amino acid composition of the bones was determined on a dry weight basis. The total essential amino acids showed no significant difference between anchovy kilka and gold stripe sardine but showed different levels of essential amino acids to that of Indian anchovy. Total non essential amino acids in anchovy kilka and Indian anchovy were not significance but gold stripe sardine had the minimum content. Highest amount of total sulfur amino acids was found in the anchovy kilka. The amino acid score showed that three species have good essential amino acid for the growth of the human recommended by FAO/WHO. The predicted protein efficiency ratio shows that the quality of protein was high. Chemical composition of three species had a good nutritional value but some parameters were lower than the human needs. The best chemical composition observed in the gold stripe sardine. It is seems that bones powder of these kind of fish may be used as ingredient in the food industries.

Abstract	Smart rings, such as the Oura ring, might have potential in health monitoring. To be able to identify optimal devices for healthcare settings, validity studies are needed. The aim of this study was to compare the Oura smart ring estimates of steps and sedentary time with data from the ActiGraph accelerometer in a free-living context. A cross-sectional observational study design was used. A convenience sample of healthy adults (n = 42) participated in the study and wore an Oura smart ring and an ActiGraph accelerometer on the non-dominant hand continuously for 1 week. The participants completed a background questionnaire and filled out a daily log about their sleeping times and times when they did not wear the devices. The median age of the participants (n = 42) was 32 years (range, 18-46 years). In total, 191 (61% of the potential) days were compared. The Oura ring overestimated the step counts compared with the ActiGraph. The mean difference was 1416 steps (95% confidence interval, 739-2093 steps). Daily sedentary time was also overestimated by the ring; the mean difference was 17 minutes (95% confidence interval, -2 to 37 minutes). The use of the ring in nursing interventions needs to be considered.

Abstract	Residential and commercial buildings consume approximately 60% of the world’s electricity. It is almost impossible to provide a general definition of thermal comfort, because the feeling of thermal comfort is affected by varying preferences and specific traits of the population living in different climate zones. A few studies have been conducted on thermal satisfaction of net-zero energy buildings prior to this date; one of the objectives of the present study is to draw a comparison between the thermal parameters for evaluation of thermal comfort of a net-zero energy building occupant. The building in this study was first optimized for the target parameters of thermal comfort and energy consumption, and hence, a net-zero energy building was formed. Subsequent to obtaining the acceptable thermal comfort range, the computational analyses required to determine the temperature for thermal comfort are carried out using the computational fluid dynamics model. The findings of this study demonstrate that for reaching net-zero energy buildings, solar energy alone is not able to supply the energy consumption of buildings and other types of energy should also be used. Furthermore, it is observed that optimum thermal comfort is achieved in moderate seasons.

Abstract	Pregnancy is a unique time when many mothers gain awareness of their lifestyle and its impacts on the fetus. High-quality care during pregnancy is needed to identify possible complications early and ensure the mother's and her unborn baby's health and well-being. Different studies have thus far proposed maternal health monitoring systems. However, they are designed for a specific health problem or are limited to questionnaires and short-term data collection methods. Moreover, the requirements and challenges have not been evaluated in long-term studies. Maternal health necessitates a comprehensive framework enabling continuous monitoring of pregnant women. In this paper, we present an Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based system to provide ubiquitous maternal health monitoring during pregnancy and postpartum. The system consists of various data collectors to track the mother's condition, including stress, sleep, and physical activity. We carried out the full system implementation and conducted a real human subject study on pregnant women in Southwestern Finland. We then evaluated the system's feasibility, energy efficiency, and data reliability. Our results show that the implemented system is feasible in terms of system usage during nine months. We also indicate the smartwatch, used in our study, has acceptable energy efficiency in long-term monitoring and is able to collect reliable photoplethysmography data. Finally, we discuss the integration of the presented system with the current healthcare system.

Abstract	This study investigated the exergy performance of a basin-type double-slope solar still equipped with phase-change material (PCM) and PV/T collector. PV/T collectors improve fresh water production during the sunshine hours of the day by pre-heating the saline water, and utilization of PCM makes it possible to produce fresh water at night. The governing equations were obtained by writing energy and exergy balances for solar still components. The numerical results in this study were well fitted into the experimental data. System performance was investigated with respect to fresh water production and exergy efficiency for sample winter and summer days in Zahedan, Iran. Results showed that the fresh water productivity increased by 10.6%, and the exergy efficiency improved by 27% and 2% on 6 July and 23 December, respectively, when mass flow rate increased from 0.001 to 0.01 kg/s. By increasing the saline water mass from 20 to 30 kg, the fresh water production was reduced by about 4.8% during the day, but increased by about 7.43% during the night. Exergy efficiency was 45% lower on the winter day than on the summer day. The highest electric power generation values on 6 July and 23 December were 120 and 50 W, respectively.

Abstract	Background Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a low-cost and easy-to-implement method to measure vital signs, including heart rate (HR) and pulse rate variability (PRV) which widely used as a substitute of heart rate variability (HRV). The method is used in various wearable devices. For example, Samsung smartwatches are PPG-based open-source wristbands used in remote well-being monitoring and fitness applications. However, PPG is highly susceptible to motion artifacts and environmental noise. A validation study is required to investigate the accuracy of PPG-based wearable devices in free-living conditions. Objective We evaluate the accuracy of PPG signals—collected by the Samsung Gear Sport smartwatch in free-living conditions—in terms of HR and time-domain and frequency-domain HRV parameters against a medical-grade chest electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor. Methods We conducted 24-hours monitoring using a Samsung Gear Sport smartwatch and a Shimmer3 ECG device. The monitoring included 28 participants (14 male and 14 female), where they engaged in their daily routines. We evaluated HR and HRV parameters during the sleep and awake time. The parameters extracted from the smartwatch were compared against the ECG reference. For the comparison, we employed the Pearson correlation coefficient, Bland-Altman plot, and linear regression methods. Results We found a significantly high positive correlation between the smartwatch’s and Shimmer ECG’s HR, time-domain HRV, LF, and HF and a significant moderate positive correlation between the smartwatch’s and shimmer ECG’s LF/HF during sleep time. The mean biases of HR, time-domain HRV, and LF/HF were low, while the biases of LF and HF were moderate during sleep. The regression analysis showed low error variances of HR, AVNN, and pNN50, moderate error variances of SDNN, RMSSD, LF, and HF, and high error variances of LF/HF during sleep. During the awake time, there was a significantly high positive correlation of AVNN and a moderate positive correlation of HR, while the other parameters ...

Article: Exergy performance assessment of a linear parabolic trough photovoltaic thermal collector

Valizadeh, Mohammad / Mahdavi Adeli, Mohsen / Sarhaddi, Faramarz

Renewable energy. 2019 Aug., v. 138

Abstract: ... from 0.08 to 0.43 m/s increases the electrical efficiency and thermal efficiency 1.05% and 2.2 ...

Abstract	This paper presents the exergy performance assessment of a linear parabolic trough photovoltaic thermal collector. The governing equations of a concentrating photovoltaic thermal collector (CPVT) are obtained through an energy balance for the various components of the system. The electrical analysis of PV cells is carried out by a four-parameter model of current-voltage. By introducing the various exergy components in the system, the system exergy efficiency is obtained. The simulation results of present study are in good agreement with previous studies data. The results show that the exergy efficiency variation with respect to the fluid velocity and channel diameter is negligible. Increasing fluid velocity from 0.08 to 0.43 m/s increases the electrical efficiency and thermal efficiency 1.05% and 2.2%, respectively. An increase of receiver width from 0.06 to 0.2 m increases the exergy efficiency and thermal efficiency by 1.47%, and 9.4%, respectively. Increasing channel diameter from 0.017 to 0.06 m increases the thermal efficiency and electrical efficiency 2.75% and 3.9%, respectively. By increasing the collector length from 3 to 90 m initially the thermal efficiency increases to 62.5% and then decreases to 60%. The exergy efficiency has a slight change with increasing collector length. An increase of fluid inlet temperature from 20 to 90 °C increases the exergy efficiency by 8.2%. Meanwhile, the thermal and electrical efficiencies reduce by 6.5% and 3.35%, respectively. An increase of the incident beam radiation from 50 to 1000 W/m2 enhances the electrical efficiency by 6.6% and increases the exergy efficiency by 15.7%, while the thermal efficiency has an ascending/descending trend. The increase of ambient temperature increases the exergy efficiency and thermal efficiency by 7.6% and 5.1%, respectively. The impact of receiver width and ambient temperature on electrical efficiency is negligible.

Abstract	Background: Differences in approach to repair a specified defect after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) between specialties have not been previously examined. Objective: To assess the difference in frequency of which reconstruction repairs are selected after MMS, among Mohs surgeons and facial plastic surgeons (FPS), and evaluate whether the level of satisfaction with the final repair outcome differed between specialties. Materials and methods: The study was approved by the Saint Louis University Institutional Review Board. A link to the survey was distributed to members of American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS) and American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), between January and May 2016. Results: The reconstructive procedure selected most often ("top choice") was not significantly different between Mohs surgeons and FPS for the majority of the images. There was no material difference in how dermatologists and FPS rate the aesthetic outcome of the 3 presented closure types, with the exception of one closure type-nose with graft. Conclusion: Mohs surgeons were found to more likely cluster around a single preference for their reconstruction technique compared with FPS, in which a higher percentage of surgeons also selected other options.
