This paper deals with the determination of optimum tilt angle and orientation for solar photovoltaic arrays in order to maximize incident solar irradiance exposed on the array, for a specific period of time. The method is extended, by introducing a second objective, i.e. minimization of variance...

The present study is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the comparison of various hourly slope irradiation models, found in the literature, and the selection of the most accurate for the region of Athens. In the second part the prediction of global solar irradiance on inclined...

Pathological processes cause abnormal regional motions of the heart. Regional wall motion analyses are important to evaluate the success of therapy, especially of cell therapy, since the recovery of the heart in cell therapy proceeds slowly and results in only small changes of ventricular wall...
