Abstract More than half of the total population in China are living in cities.Especially, the people in highly developed and spatially integrated city clusters, i.e., urban agglomerations (UAs), are facing increasing human‐perceived heat stress that describes the combined effects of hot temperature, high humidity, and lowered surface wind speed.B
This paper investigates the potential of deploying flaps on wind turbine blades to enhance their efficiency and energy capture capabilities.The FX66-S-196V, FX63-137 S, and SG6043 Foot Mask supercritical airfoils were used and distributed along the blade radius.Flaps, situated 20% along the trailing edge of the blade chord, offer a means of activel
This ECHINACEA 2+ article aims to investigate free vibration and buckling of functionally graded (FG) nanoporous metal foam (NPMF) nanoshells.The first-order shear deformation (FSD) shell theory is adopted and the theoretical model is formulated by using Mindlin’s most general strain gradient theory, which can derive several well-known simpli
The sandfly Lutzomyia evansi from a focus of visceral leishmaniasis in northern Colombia was reared and maintained under laboratory conditions for five generations.The average time for total development was 41.8 days (range = 35.1- 49.6) at 25 oC and 89-95% of relative humidity.The mean number of eggs laid was lower in laboratory bred females eithe
