The absorption chiller operated with a daily average coefficient of performance of 1.1 1.25, where the solar energy represented the 75% of generator's total heat input, and the solar cooling ratio (quotient between useful cooling and insolation incident on the solar field) was 0.44.
LPS-stimulated macrophages were elongated, presenting a significantly higher cell aspect ratio (quotient between cell major and minor axes length) (4.02 ± 0.03) (Fig. 1b), in comparison with IL-10-stimulated (1.70 ± 0.23) or with unstimulated macrophages (2.32 ± 0.54).
Sky view factor, surface albedo, altitude, vegetation above 1 m in height, average height to floor area ratio, location quotient and proximity to sea are critical variables in mitigating both daytime and nocturnal UHI.
We handled both the depth of focus of the reconstruction and the Strehl ratio (the quotient of the maximum intensities of an actual and a reference reconstruction images) with exceptional care.
CSF samples were routinely analyzed for cell counts, quantitative (IgM and IgG indices) and qualitative (oligoclonal bands) analysis of intrathecal Ig-synthesis, and CSF to serum albumin ratio (albumin-quotient) as indicators of the blood-brain barrier status immediately after lumbar puncture using standard methods (Table 1).
Finally, the environmental risk posed by pharmaceutical residues in effluents from constructed wetlands acting as secondary and tertiary treatment steps is calculated in the form of the risk quotient ratio.
Uses of a substance that result in a risk characterisation ratio (RCR - quotient of exposure level and effect level) below 1 are considered to be safe, while RCR > 1 will require additional measures to be prescribed in the exposure scenario in order to define an acceptable risk.
As basis for the friction calculation a relationship between the shear stress ratio and the quotient of the compressive strain and the overlap ratio was experimentally found and the temperature-dependent curves of the Young's modulus and of the shear strength of PTFE are shown.
The numerical simulations predicted that wettability effects on droplet length are more prominent when the viscosity ratio λ (the quotient of the viscosity of the dispersed phase with the viscosity of the continuous phase) is O(1), compared to the situation when λ is O 0.1).
There were no substantial group differences on socioeconomic status, sex ratio, or intelligence quotient.
After acclimatization individually for 72 h, the O2 consumption (VO2, mL/kg/min), CO2 production (VCO2, mL/kg/min), and respiratory quotient (ratio of VCO2/VO2) were determined.
