Influence of Building Envelope Design on Indoor Thermal Comfort of Office Workers in Enugu, Nigeria

Abstract Climate Change and global warming are problems that result to an increase in indoor temperature especially in the tropical region. The adverse effect of rise in temperature has increased the need for indoor cooling in order to improve comfort for building occupants. Building envelope separates indoor spaces from outdoor spaces and is also capable of improving indoor comfort through appropriate balance of passive and active techniques. The contemporary concern is on how to improve the...

Studies of Essential and Non-Essential Elements in Cereal Based Weaning Foods for Infants Commercially Available on the Ghanaian Market

ABSTRACT Cereal-based weaning foods, which abound on the Ghanaian market, are nutritionally vital in the growth and development of infants. Recent reports in scientific literature however indicate that rice and other cereals used in the manufacture of the weaning foods contribute significantly to the intake of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) by infants. In view of this, frequent monitoring of the cereal-based weaning foods has become imperative. The study assessed the beneficial hea...

A Theoretical Study Of The Production Of Technetium-99m ( 99mtc) Using A Cyclotron

ABSTRACT A theoretical study of the production of Technetium-99m (99mTc) using a cyclotron has been conducted. A nuclear reaction model code (Talys code) was used to generate reaction cross sections as functions of particle energies for 100Mo (p, 2n)99mTc reaction channel which would lead to the direct production of 99mTc. Excitation function for the desired reaction channel for the production of 99mTc and excitation functions for the reaction channels of competing products (contaminants) we...
