In this research, an indoor experiment has been carried out of a PV module under controlled operating conditions and parameters. A novel design of thermal collector has been introduced, a complete PVT system assembled and water/MWCNT nanofluid used to enhance the thermal performance of PVT. An activ...

Irradiations incident on the photovoltaic module are converted only 15–20% into electrical energy and remaining are transformed into heat and drop electrical efficiency. Therefore, to harness both the thermal and electrical energy, hybrid photovoltaic thermal system is an optimum option. Moreover, p...

Photovoltaic power generation is a suitable option to counter depleting and environmentally hazardous fossil fuels. However, increased cell temperature of the photovoltaic module reduces the electrical performance. Therefore, for enhancing the electrical performance as well as to obtain the useful t...

Solar energy is one of the promising resources to fulfil the energy demands to some level in place of fossil fuels to avoid environmental pollution. The efficiency of solar technology, e.g. photovoltaic panels, thermal systems or a combination of both technologies as photovoltaic thermal is a concer...

. Stunting, a form of linear growth faltering, increases the risk of illness, impaired cognitive development and mortality. Global stunting estimates rely on cross-sectional surveys, which cannot provide direct information about the timing of onset or persistence of growth faltering-a key considerat...

. Prevailing methods to measure wasting rely on cross-sectional surveys that cannot measure onset, recovery and persistence-key features that inform preventive interventions and estimates of disease burden. Here we analyse 21 longitudinal cohorts and show that wasting is a highly dynamic process of ...

Plants being sessile are always exposed to various environmental stresses, and to overcome these stresses, modifications at the epigenetic level can prove vital for their long-term survival. Epigenomics refers to the large-scale study of epigenetic marks on the genome, which include covalent modific...

Abstract This numerical study reveals the heat transfer performance of hybrid/single nanofluids inside a lid‐driven sinusoidal trapezoidal‐shaped enclosure. The right and left inclined surfaces of the trapezium have been considered as insulated, whereas the bottom sinusoidal wavy and the flat top su...

INTRODUCTION: South Asia is home to more than 300 million smokeless tobacco (ST) users. Bangladesh, India and Pakistan as signatories to the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) have developed policies aimed at curbing the use of tobacco. The objective of this study is to assess the compl...

BACKGROUND: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is an asymptomatic intestinal disorder associated with growth impairment, delayed neurocognitive development, and impaired oral vaccine responses. OBJECTIVES: We set out to develop and validate a histopathologic scoring system on duodenal biopsies ...

Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is an asymptomatic acquired disorder characterized by upper small bowel inflammation, villus blunting, and gut permeability. It is a major contributor to poor growth in childhood as well as other highly consequential outcomes such as delayed neuorcognitive dev...

BACKGROUND: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is characterized by reduced absorptive capacity and barrier function of the small intestine, leading to poor ponderal and linear childhood growth. OBJECTIVES: To further define gene expression patterns that are associated with EED to uncover new pa...
