Investigation of the genetic diversity of domestic Capra hircus breeds reared within an early goat domestication area in Iran
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Abstract Background Iran is an area of particular interest for investigating goat diversity. Archaeological remains indicate early goat domestication (about 10 000 years ago) in the Iranian Zagros Mountains as well as in ... -
Investigation of the Hydroelectric Development Potential of Nonpowered Dams: A Case Study of the Buyuk Menderes River Basin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The adaptation of nonpowered dams (NPDs) to dams with hydroelectric generation units requires only minor interventions compared with the construction of a completely new dam and power plant. Thus, it is both more economical ... -
Investigation of the impact of wakes and stratification on the performance of an onshore wind farm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This work investigates the effects of wakes and stratification on the performance of turbines operating in the Bessaker wind farm. The wind farm is located in a highly complex terrain. Most dominant wind directions recorded ... -
The investigation of the influence of thermal plume and breathing on sleeping microenvironment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Most of humans’ lifetime was spent indoor, especially in bedroom. Thus, understanding the characteristics of the sleep microenvironment is a prerequisite for better control and improvement of our sleeping environment. This ... -
Investigation of the long-term sustainability of changes in appetite after weight loss
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background/Objective Diet-induced weight loss (WL) leads to a compensatory increase in appetite and changes in the plasma concentration of appetite-regulating hormones are likely to play a role. Whether these changes are ... -
Investigation of the microstructure evolution and deformation mechanisms of a Mg-Zn-Zr-RE twin-roll-cast magnesium sheet by in-situ experimental techniques
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Twin roll casting (TRC), with a relatively fast solidification rate, is an excellent production method with promising potential for producing wrought semi or final Mg alloy products that can often suffer from poor formability. ... -
Investigation of the Model Structure for Low-Order Grey-Box Modelling of Residential Buildings
(Chapter, 2019)Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a key technology to activate the building energy flexibility. A reliable control-based model should be developed for each specific building. The structure of grey-box models is usually ... -
Investigation of the Numerical Methodology of a Model Wind Turbine Simulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The present work aims to investigate different methodologies for the numerical simulation of an upwind three-bladed wind turbine; which is supposed to be a base model to simulate icing in cold climate windmills. That is a ... -
Investigation of the products of the dolomite reaction in Portland cement pastes
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)The formation of potentially deleterious reaction products from the reaction of dolomite fines in Portland cement pastes was investigated. It was shown that the reaction of dolomite fines did not follow the commonly accepted ... -
Investigation of the structural and immunomodulatory properties of alkali-soluble β-glucans from Pleurotus eryngii fruiting bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Fungal β-glucans have received a lot of interest due to their proinflammatory activity towards cells of the innate immune system. Although commonly described as (1➔3)-β-glucans with varying degree of (1➔6)-branching, the ... -
Investigation of the Unsteady Pressure Pulsations in the Prototype Francis Turbines -Part 1: Steady State Operating Conditions
(Journal article, 2018)Hydropower is one of the most reliable renewable sources of electricity generation. With high efficiency and good regulating capacity, hydropower has the ability to meet rapid changes in power demand. Large investments in ... -
Investigation of the unsteady pressure pulsations in the prototype Francis turbines during load variation and startup
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This work investigates the unsteady pressure fluctuations in two prototype Francis turbines during load variation and start-up. Although hydraulic turbines are expected to experience such events over their lifetime, the ... -
Investigation of thermal transport in polymer composites with percolating networks of silver thin films by the flash diffusivity method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The flash diffusivity method, also known as laser flash analysis (LFA), is commonly used to obtain the thermal diffusivity (α) and thermal conductivity (κ) of materials, due to its relative simplicity, rapid measurements, ... -
Investigation of Thermopressor with Incomplete Evaporation for Gas Turbine Intercooling Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)One of the promising ways to increase fuel and modern gas turbine energy efficiency is using cyclic air intercooling between the stages of high- and low-pressure compressors. For intercooling, it is possible to use cooling ... -
Investigation of Two Immiscible Liquids Wetting at Elevated Temperature: Interaction Between Liquid FeMn Alloy and Liquid Slag
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The goal of the current work is to develop a methodology to study the wetting behaviour of two immiscible liquids at high temperatures, and to investigate the parameters which influence the wetting properties. The wetting ... -
