Power filling process in tube heat exchanger
Fin tube heat exchangers are used in many heating and cooling devices for the purpose of heat transfer from one element to other by conduction and convection. Due to their designs fin tube heat exchangers also provide a control space or volume for carrying out chemical reactions by extracting heat from the surrounding or liberating heat to the surrounding while undergoing an endothermic or exothermic reaction respectively. The Thermally Activated Cooling (TAC) system developed by Thermax Ltd. is a device one of its kind. It comprises of metallic powder which undergoes endothermic and exothermic reactions at different temperature. When arranged in a proper cycle desired cooling effect can be obtained via this process, The fin tube heat exchangers comprise of metallic powder and provide a control volume for reactions and a conductive surface for heat transfer. The amount of metallic powder in the heat exchanger is proportional to its performance, which is directly proportional to the COP of refrigeration system. The agenda of this project is to enhance the material filling process which is a crucial stage and requires a lot of time
Implementation of BIM to improve organizational capabilities
This paper describes a process that an organization can use to develop its organizational capabilities through the use of Building Information Model (BIM). The process involves identifying and tapping the skills of its employees to deliver lean and green projects. This paper aims to identify the various capabilities necessary to effectively implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. The study was conducted through a mixed-method approach. It revealed that adopting a BIM adoption culture is necessary for an organization to achieve desired project outcomes. Through a study, the authors of the proposed framework stated that adopting a BIM-based approach can help organizations improve their project outcomes and reduce their carbon footprint. They also noted that it can help them focus on the human factors within their organizations. This paper explores the importance of the social and technical skills of an employee in developing an organization's capabilities to achieve green and lean results

Antioxidants in Diets and Food
none3noNowadays, the society looks with increasing interest in the diet, which is no
longer simply a means by which to take the necessary nutrients but has become a
means by which it is possible to preserve the health state. German philosopher
Ludwig Feuerbach once said: “We are what we eat.” This statement is even truer
today because of the hectic life, people often tend to eat frugal, fast, and often
very fat and unhealthy meals. Today, there is a very high attention both from the
social point of view and by the scientific community to the so-called functional
foods. These foods, which contain several bioactive compounds, exert innumerable
biological properties and therefore can help to preserve the health state. In
addition, the use of nutraceuticals has taken the upper hand, unfortunately, often
also to the detriment of functional foods, which unlike the former still remain
foods and, as such, with a certainly better efficacy-safety profile. The term
nutraceutical, indeed, does not refer to a food but rather to a formulation
containing one or more compounds isolated from plant extracts or one or more
titrated plant extracts. Moreover, some formulations (capsules, tablets, powders,
etc.) are rarely studied before being commercialized, and their effectiveness
remains rather doubtful in light of a very lax regulation in many countries
worldwide.mixedAntonella Smeriglio, Laura Cornara, Domenico TrombettaSmeriglio, Antonella; Cornara, Laura; Trombetta, Domenic
