In this work, we have developed a model that permits to study the technical efficiency and the economic income of a biogas reactor designed to valorize the waste water in energy producing. A first application to waste water issued from yeast industry and to municipal…

The performance of solar collectors based on plastic hoses is noticeably improved by using a thermal-hydraulic modeling experimentally validated. This model allows us to optimize the main parameters of collector (length and diameter of hoses, tilt angle and number of glazing covers) for different climatic…

This work attempts to assess the efficiency and profitability of the greenhouse (used in agriculture) to dry agricultural products. It aims at studying and analyzing the drying of red pepper known as “Baklouti” by three different solar processes. These three drying processes enable us to…

In this research paper, the convective heat and mass transfer coefficients are evaluated for khoa drying under natural convection greenhouse mode for different sizes of khoa samples for a given mass. The khoa pieces of dimensions 0.025 × 0.02 × 0.015 m3, 0.0375 × 0.03…

The aim of this article is to estimate the prevalence of true dysglycaemic syndromes (DS) (includes presence of  diabetes mellitus [DM], impaired fasting glucose [IFG] and impaired glucose tolerance [IGT]) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and mild fasting hyperglycaemia from an area in…

It is well established that obesity impacts health and physical capacity of postmenopausal women. However, obesity-related conditions might not be the same between postmenopausal women obese for a long time of period compared to newly obese older women.
