Optimization of thermal energy storage system in residential scale solar thermal driven adsorption cooling system is based on criterion to have a minimum size of storage tanks correspondence to maximum system performance. It found that the optimum size of the hot storage tank in a solar driven adsorption cooling system in hot arid area is ranging between 55 to 66 l/m2 per collector area with the height to diameter (H/D) ratio ranging from 2.4 ...

Three aphid parasitoids were recorded on cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae. Diaeretilla rapae was the most common parasitoid which emerged from this aphid species. The population density of this aphid species and its parasitoids as well as the percentages of parasitism on the cabbage aphid were studied during the two seasons 2012/013 and 2013/014. The statistical analysis showed that temperature and relative humidity had significant effect w...

When cobalt is evaporated under ultra high vacuum conditions conditions onto a heated silicon substrate, the cobalt reacts with the silicon and cobalt silicides are formed directly - a process which is referred to as reactive deposition. If the substrate temperature is maintained above 550°C a CoSi2 film is produced, while at substrate temperatures below 500°C the film is in the form of CoSi. At intermediate temperatures a mixed mono/di-silici...
