The Impact of Using Smart Windows Technique in Reducing Energy Consumption and Improving Building Performance in the Office Building

With the world’s population increasing rapidly and industry modernization, building energy consumption is rising. Over 40% of the world\u27s energy consumption is generated by buildings, and about 10% of this portion is consumed by office buildings through its uses of HVAC, office equipment, and lighting.Research Problem- In recent periods, Office buildings in Egypt have consumed a lot of energy to provide adequate lighting to occupants through windows, which is the reason for overheating and high thermal losses. It accounts for 60% of the building’s energy loss.Research Objective- I am conducting this study to determine whether utilizing Smart windows techniques can help reduce energy consumption and improve the building performance of office buildings in Egypt.Research Methodology-The theoretical part used to review existing theoretical Studies to collect sufficient data on Windows and how they impact energy consumption, as well as Smart Windows techniques in buildings and the differences between them.The applied part used the Design Builder software to present the effect of Electrochromic Smart windows and window orientation for office buildings in Egypt. The analysis showed that the Smart application in Egypt has improved building performance and energy consumption significantly reduced by 14%, which is a great accomplishment.Results- showed that the annual energy was reduced by 14% due to using optimally designed and controlled Smart-glazed windows

Seismic Response of Seismic Isolated Structures subject to Near Fault &Far Fault Ground Motions

Seismic isolation systems are one of the most effective technologies for protecting structures from lateral loading, improving the seismic performance of the buildings against dynamic loads and base-isolated buildings have benefits in mitigating damage to the superstructure. Non-linear time history analysis is used to investigate the seismic response of fixed base and base-isolated building frames under far-fault ground motions and near-fault ground motions with fling step and forward directivity characteristics. Peak floor displacement, inter-story drift, absolute acceleration, base shear, and isolator displacement are some of the response characteristics that have been studied and examined as results of the analysis. The results demonstrated that using base isolators improves the seismic behavior of the used building, but it found that the isolator displacement is very large, during near-fault ground motion with the fling step effect particularly. For mitigating large isolator displacement during near-field earthquakes, the influence of a combination of the isolator and friction supplemental damper on the seismic response of a base-isolated 2D building frame is studied, and results demonstrated that using base isolators combined with viscous dampers can reduce the isolator\u27s displacement

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF MELOIDOGYNE JAVANICA AND RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI ON SOYBEAN BY FORMULATION OF BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS AND TRICHODERMA HARZIANUM

Preparationof either Bacillus thuringiensis or Trichoderma harzianum  were used as seed coating or soil application for management of root-knot and root rot disease complex caused by the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica and the fungus Rhizoctonia solani on soybean plants. Number of galls, root galling, egg masses and disease severity were reduced sharply on plants treated with both biocontrol agents, either as seed or soil application compared with non-treated plants. Soil application with both biocontrol agents was the best method in reducing nematode and fungus disease severity. Plant growth parameters i.e. fresh shoot and root weight, dry weight and number of pods and bacterial nodules were markedly increased with all treatments of biocontrol agent either with seed or soil treatment compared to plants grown in infested soil with either pathogens alone or combined. Results show that plant survival was more affected when R. solani was alone or combined with M. javanica. Seed coating was considered the effective method in increasing survival plants. The biochemical analysis of treated plants with both biocontrol agents were affected compared to non-treated plants grown in pathogen infested soil. The biochemical parameters i.e. chlorophyll A and B, carotein, phenols and amino acids were enhanced in bioagent treated plants compared to non-treated plant

The Role of Medical Image Modalities and AI in the Early Detection, Diagnosis and Grading of Retinal Diseases: A Survey.

Traditional dilated ophthalmoscopy can reveal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal tear, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, retinal vein occlusion (RVO), and retinal artery occlusion (RAO). Among these diseases, AMD and DR are the major causes of progressive vision loss, while the latter is recognized as a world-wide epidemic. Advances in retinal imaging have improved the diagnosis and management of DR and AMD. In this review article, we focus on the variable imaging modalities for accurate diagnosis, early detection, and staging of both AMD and DR. In addition, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in providing automated detection, diagnosis, and staging of these diseases will be surveyed. Furthermore, current works are summarized and discussed. Finally, projected future trends are outlined. The work done on this survey indicates the effective role of AI in the early detection, diagnosis, and staging of DR and/or AMD. In the future, more AI solutions will be presented that hold promise for clinical applications

Performance evaluation of uplink shared channel for cooperative relay based narrow band internet of things network

– Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) is one of the fastest growing network techniques provides efficient communciations for smart cities, e-Health, industry 4.0 and other applications. LPWAN enables long-rang communcaitons for M2M and cellular IoT networks. Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) is a type of LPWAN developed by 3GPP to connect a wide stream of IoT services and devices. NB-IoT systems rely on the mechanism of repeating the same signal every specified period of time in order to improve radio coverage better than it is in LTE systems. Repetition process is used to enhance the coverage of NB-IoT and for upgrade throughput as well. However, increasing the repetition of the signal significantly may give a negative result relative to the bandwidth limits. A cooperative relay (CoR) can be used beside repetition mechanism to helps reduce bandwidth stress. Moreover, the use of CoR for NB-IoT in physical uplink shared channel with repetitions will enhance the throughput. This paper will evaluate the performance of the CoR to enhance physical uplink shared channel in NB-IoT. The NB-IoT system model is simulated bu MATLAB to demonstrate the use of Cooperative relay (CoR) scheme in NPUSCH for NB-IoT for performance evaluation and comparison of using CoR scheme by considering metrics like data rate, throughput, and delay. The results conclude that in using CoR in NB-IoT gives high performance in overall NoT network throughput

Persistence of TEL-AML1 fusion gene as minimal residual disease has no additive prognostic value in CD 10 positive B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a FISH study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Objectives </p> <p>We have analyzed t(12;21)(p13:q22) in an attempt to evaluate the frequency and prognostic significance of <it>TEL-AML1 </it>fusion gene in patients with childhood CD 10 positive B-ALL by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Also, we have monitored the prognostic value of this gene as a minimal residual disease (MRD).</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>All bone marrow samples of eighty patients diagnosed as CD 10 positive B-ALL in South Egypt Cancer Institute were evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for t(12;21) in newly diagnosed cases and after morphological complete remission as a minimal residual disease (MRD). We determined the prognostic significance of <it>TEL-AML1 </it>fusion represented by disease course and survival.</p> <p>Results</p> <p><it>TEL-AML1 </it>fusion gene was positive in (37.5%) in newly diagnosed patients.

The present study suggests that persistence of <it>TEL-AML1 </it>fusion as MRD has no additive prognostic value.</p

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

La phraséologie du discours juridique français. Étude de cas : les arrêts de la Cour de cassation

Appréhender un texte spécialisé, c’est essayer de connaître ses caractéristiques linguistiques. La présente recherche a pour but de réinterroger l’importance de l’outil lexicométrique dans l’extraction des structures phraséologiques du discours juridique et ce à travers l’étude des groupements et combinaisons à la fois lexicaux et grammaticaux. Quels sont les lexèmes et locutions les plus récurrents et quelles constructions syntactiques sont plus fréquents dans ce discours, telle est la problématique de notre recherche. Pouvons-nous conclure qu’il existe un patron syntaxique régissant les textes juridiques? Et quel est son degré de figement? C’est ce que nous allons chercher à vérifier en nous basant sur une approche à la fois contextualiste et lexicométrique des arrêts de la Cour de cassation
