This paper presents a method of characterising and evaluating the performance of hot water storage systems in terms of their temperature distribution.

Survey sampling with model-assisted estimation has recently gained popularity in forest inventory.

The main factor determining the performance of a thermal storage method is the temperature stratification in the storage tank. At the ideal stratification, the energy efficiency of the storage tank is extremely high. However, when the heat pump is applied, the stratification is disrupted by heat exchange between the layers of the heat medium, and consequent convection in the tank. Therefore, this study analyzed the influence of stratification-related design factors in the water-piping facility area outside a tank heated by a heat pump.

Low-temperature combustion offers an attractive combination of high thermal efficiency and low NO x and soot formation at moderate engine load.

While several single-fuel strategies have achieved full-load operation through the use of equivalence ratio stratification, they uniformly require retarded combustion phasing to maintain reasonable noise levels, which comes at the expense of thermal efficienc

Abstract:
Background: Stroke rehabilitation in inpatient setting requires high intensity of manpower and resources. Early stratification of patients with stroke could facilitate early discharge plan and reduce avoidable length of stay (LOS) in hospital. Stratification of patients with stroke in clinical setting is usually based on functional scores which are quite time-consuming and require a special training to complete the full score.Objective: The objective of the study was to explore whether Modified Functional Ambulation Category (MFAC) can serve as a stratification tool of patients with stroke in

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the efficiency of methods to overcome seed dormancy in different storage periods in the production of pecan seedlings. Seeds were submitted to the following treatments: T1, T4 and T7 - control treatments (seeds with no treatment, stored at room temperature for 30, 60 and 90 days, respectively), T2, T5 and T8 - stratification (seeds were distributed in boxes with wet sand maintained at a temperature of 4°C for 30, 60 and 90 days, respectively), T3, T6 and T9 - scarification + stratification (seeds scarified with sandpaper n.80 and stratified by 30, 60 and 90 days,

Abstract:
In surveys requiring cost efficiency, such as medical research, measuring the variable of interest (e.g., disease status) is expensive and/or time-consuming; however, we often have access to easily obtainable characteristics about sampling units. These characteristics are not typically employed in the data collection process. Judgment post-stratification (JPS) sampling enables us to supplement the random samples from the population of interest with these characteristics as ranking information. This paper develops methods based on the JPS samples for estimating categorical ordinal populations.

Abstract The basic aim of the task is to compile a temperature stratification system in an accumulation tank. The range of the thesis concerns the shape and dimensions of a stratification system for an accumulation tank. Thermal stratification is a process that comprises the maintaining of temperature stratification at different levels of an accumulation tank which reduce to a minimum the process of temperature equalization. It results from the fact that the thermal stratification in a tank significantly increases the installation efficiency and improves the process of energy storing. It is co

The aim of the study was to confirm and compare efficiency of methods enhancing the vitality of Scots pine and Norway spruce seeds: soaking in water, cold stratification, additional moistening and incubation according to IDS method. The examined parameters included water content in the seeds, germination energy, mean germination time and germination capacity before the seed treatment, after its treatment by the tested methods and after drying. Results show that all the tested methods accelerate germination of seeds; cold stratification is the most efficient and recommended method for Scots pin

To develop a new approach to perinatal risk stratification based on the determination of prognostic criteria for antepartum and intrapartum fetal death, and early neonatal death to improve the efficiency of predicting adverse perinatal outcomes. Patients and methods. A retrospective case-control study with the participation of patients with antepartum (n = 134) and intrapartum (n = 41) fetal death, early neonatal death (n = 61), and favorable perinatal outcome (n = 50) was carried out. The Bayes–Wald–Gubler method was used to determine prognostic criteria. Comparative evaluation of

Abstract:
The importance and usefulness of second-law analysis for evaluating and comparing thermal energy storage (TES) systems in meaningful ways is discussed. Some of the main thermodynamic factors to be considered in evaluating TES performance are identified and described, including determining important analysis quantities, obtaining appropriate measures of efficiency, pinpointing losses, assessing the effects of stratification, and accounting for time duration of storage. As an illustrative example, exergy analysis, a particular type of second-law analysis, is applied to stratified TES systems in

Reductions in densities of indicator organisms and pathogens were measured in maturation ponds receiving secondary effluents from trickling filter and activated sludge treatment works. Effluent detention times in the ponds were determined using dye tracing techniques and compared with nominal detention times calculated from pond volumes and effluent flow rates. Median detention times were substantially less than nominal times because of short circuiting due to pond design aspects and thermal stratification. Maturation ponds of 10 days median detention time were found to successfully disinfect

Abstract:
In Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, ventilation strategies impact building energy consumption, occupants' thermal comfort and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Ventilation strategies such as Mixing Jet Ventilation (MJV), Displacement Ventilation (DV), and Impinging Jet Ventilation (IJV) are operated on the different principals. MJV relies on dilution, while DV and IJV rely on both dilution and stratification. Due to climatic variation, ventilation strategies must be operated under different cooling and heating load scenarios. Typically, each ventilation strategy controls the in
