PrefaceThis book is based on a course in process heat transfer that I have taught for many years. The coursehas been taken by seniors and first-year graduate students who have completed an introductorycourse in engineering heat transfer. Although this background is assumed, nearly all students needs[r]
Lung cancer is usually presented with cough, dyspnea, pain and weight loss, which is overlapping with symptoms of other lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis shows characteristic reticular and nodular pattern, while lung cancers are mostly presented with infiltrative mass, thi[r]

Ohmic heating is an alternative fast heating technique of foods. It is important to determine electrical conductivity in order to decide on the applicability of ohmic heating technology for specific food products. In this study, grape juice was heated at different voltage gradients 10, 20, 30 and 40[r]
Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been increasingly employed for the treatment of elderly patients with brain metastases, mainly due to its demonstrated effectiveness and low complication rate. However, only a few studies have investigated the prognostic factors that influence the survival of elde[r]
The five-year cumulative incidence rate in patients diagnosed with stage I small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who were instructed to undergo surgery was from 40 to 60%.The death competition influence the accuracy of the classical survival analyses.
A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of different doses (60, 80, 100, 120, and 140kg/ha) of nitrogen application on 100kg/ha seed rate a semi dwarf, high yielding with good quality traits on ‘DBW 17’, variety of wheat was evaluated to study the effect of 100kg/ha seed rate and diffe[r]
In Mexico, there has been a rise in Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) enrollments through platforms such as MexicoX. However, this rise in interest has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in completion rates. This article examines the factors that influence Mexican learners’ retention r[r]
The impacts of weight loss on prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain unclear. The present study was therefore undertaken to investigate the association between critical weight loss and long-term survival in NPC patients.
In this work, we have investigated the impact of the thermal dissipation difficulty of Network on Chip based 3D-ICs by proposing a method to predict the temperature and MTTF of each region of the targeted system.
The basic strategy of Russian nuclear energy is propagation of a closed fuel cycle on the basis of fast breeder and thermal reactors, as well as the solution of the spent nuclear fuel accumulation and resource problems.
Processes of hydrogenation of cottonseed oil on effective catalysts have been studied. Influence of technological factors on hydrogenation processes has been studied. Production of desired fats with minimum content of transisomerized fatty acids has been attained.
The aim of this paper is to assess an influence of learning orientation, entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation on innovation capabilities.
This investigation conducted to study the influence of Egyptian propolis on immunological responses with special reference to cytokine levels of infected rats with Toxoplasma gondii and treated with 0.1 ml propolis day after day till the end of the experiment (28 days).
The present investigations on influence of storage on the emergence and parasitization efficiency of laboratory reared Trichogramma was carried out at Biocontrol Research Laboratory, JAU, Junagadh.

Money DemandMoney demand is determined by severalfactors.According to the theory of liquiditypreference, one of the most important factorsis the interest rate.People choose to hold money because moneycan be used to buy other goods and services.Harcourt, Inc. items and derived it[r]
Loss of Amylo-alpha-1-6-glucosidase-4-alpha-glucanotransferase (AGL) drives rapid proliferation of bladder cancer cells by upregulating Hyaluronic acid(HA) Synthase (HAS2) mediated HA synthesis. However the role of HA receptors CD44 and Hyaluronan Mediated Motility Receptor (RHAMM) in regulating the[r]
In this chapter, the learning objectives are: Different definitions of risk, chance of loss, peril and hazard, classification of risk, major personal risks and commercial risks, burden of risk on society, techniques for managing risk.
