Published: January 2021

The Home Learning Program (BDR), which must be implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, directly increases the workload of mothers as learning companions for children to replace teachers' duties. Apart from the facilities used, the difficulties found were related to the division of working time between household work and child assistance, difficulties with children's learning materials, disciplining children to learn. The impact is that learning assistance only becomes a side activity after completing household chores. The difficulties faced by mothers cannot be separated from the level of education, communication between parents and schools (teachers) and the double burden of mothers in household affairs.  Program Belajar Dari Rumah (BDR) yang harus dilaksanakan akibat pendemi covid 19 secara langsung menambah beban kerja ibu sebagai pendamping belajar anak menggantikan tugas guru. Selain fasilitas yang digunakan, kesulitan yang ditemukan terkait dengan pembagian waktu kerja antara kerja rumah tangga dan pendampingan anak, kesulitan materi belajar anak, mendisiplinkan anak untuk belajar. Dampaknya pendampingan belajar hanya menjadi kegiatan sambilan setelah meneyelesaikan pekerjaan rumah tangga. Kesulitan yang dihadapi ibu tidak terlepas dari tingkat Pendidikan, komunikasi orang tua dan sekolah (guru) dan beban ganda ibu dalam urusan rumah tangga.
Application of Neolepenism in Climatic Conditions with Frequent Fog
Authors:   PUC ", Miloradović Nenad ,   Beogradske elektrane",   , Belgrade, Serbia
Published: January 2021

Neolepenism is a new type of energy efficient architecture that could respond to the challenges of sustainable development, primarily as a passive means of protection in the fight against the effects of global warming and climate change. The author improved and optimized the positive experiences of the architecture of Lepenski Vir (Serbia) and made a model of a small family house of neolepenism with a flat roof, which he presented at the 50th International Congress and Exhibition on HVAC in Belgrade in 2019. During the presentation of the model, in the discussion at the exhibition, the question was asked: "Can this architecture be applied in climatic conditions with frequent occurrence of morning fog?" Using the meteorological databases of the Meteonorm program and the typical meteorological years for Ljubljana (Slovenia), as well as the previously developed program in Excel that was used in calculations for this architecture of neolepenism, the author presents the results for Ljubljana, a city located in the valley and where morning fogs are common. In meteorological data, the appearance of frequent morning fog is manifested through a reduced intensity of direct solar radiation in the morning. The paper presents conclusions concerning the optimal orientation of neolepenism buildings for this type of climate depending on the energy class of the building.The obtained results at the level of the whole year indicate that for the needs of heating, the eastern orientation is slightly better than the southern one for the buildings of energy class B, while for the less isolated buildings, the southern orientation has a slight advantage. For the area of ​​Ljubljana, the orientation of the neolepenism building does not play a significant role for heating needs, but still the author believes that the originally assumed eastern orientation should be kept as optimal, due to the need for cooling during the summer season. However, in addition to good thermal insulation, the compactness of the form of neolepenism architecture also plays a crucial role in saving energy and achieving thermal comfort.

Published: January 2021

In today’s modern world, development of industry and technology has led to the increase in energy demand. Hence, more fossil fuels are burnt in order to cover this demand. Due to the multiple disadvantages, as well as the negative impact that burning of fossil fuels has on the environment, heat pumps are gaining more importance when providing energy for heating. This paper is aimed at conducting thermodynamic optimization of cascade heat pump in terms of different working fluid combinations and calculating maximum COP. In order to perform thermodynamic analysis, a software program that uses database of working fluids, was developed. The intermediate temperature within cascade heat exchanger represents a crucial parameter when analyzing and designing cascade heat pumps. Thus, when performing thermodynamic analysis, the intermediate temperature was varied in the range from 0°С to 25°С and the optimal temperature that provides maximum COP was defined. The analysis was performed on an air–to–water heat pump, that could be used for heating different types of buildings in places in Serbia where the outdoor design temperature is –20°С. The cascade heat pump would be used alongside radiator heating system operating at temperatures 70°С/50°С. Due to the high temperature difference between heat source and heat sink, cascade heat pumps have advantages over single stage or multi stage heat pumps. The optimization was performed on an air–to–water cascade heat pump where the evaporation and condensation temperatures were –25°С and 75°С, respectively. Following the conducted optimization, the analysis of the impact that isentropic efficiency of compressor has on COP was examined.

La apertura de la regla en los juegos triádicos y la paradoja en déficit de conectividad
Authors: Navarro-Adelantado Vicente , Pic Miguel
Published: January 2021

La apertura de la regla favorece la aparición de paradojas durante el juego triádico, aprovechando la comunicación permitida. Se analiza, en un mismo juego de persecución de equipos, el efecto en la jugabilidad en déficit de conectividad (‘agujero estructural’), en dos tríadas (completa y no-completa), para comparar: las interacciones derivadas de la red de comunicación motriz, los flujos dirigidos y las emisiones y recepciones enmarcadas en los valores intragrupo e intergrupos, tomando los roles como etiquetas agregadas al flujo, y el valor de utilidad de las decisiones estratégicas. El déficit de conectividad de la tríada no-completa es rellenado al resolverse las situaciones ambivalentes en beneficio de la estrategia de los equipos, ayudados por una ‘metacomunicación instrumental’ que aporta el progreso del sistema de resultados o de tanteo. Este efecto reduce la complejidad y trae consecuencias positivas en la jugabilidad.

Asia-Pacific region: analyses of the creation and functioning of preferential economic regime zones
Authors: Levin Yu. A. , Pavlov A. O.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. The article analyzes the experience of creating and functioning zones of preferential economic regimes in the Asia-Pacific region. It is shown that in order to create better conditions for doing business on their territory, attract foreign and domestic investment, introduce innovative technologies, increase production volumes, increase the degree of localization and import substitution, increase exports of products and services, create new jobs. The APR countries are focused on the development and implementation of preferential economic regimes.

Materials and methods. The methodological basis for the study of the formation and functioning of zones of preferential regimes are General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, analogy) and special methods for analyzing the enclave approach, the theory of growth poles and growth triangles. The materials of the Far East development Corporation and the Ministry of the Russian Federation of the Far East and the Arctic development on the analysis of the practice of applying preferential regimes operating in the territory of the Russian Federation and abroad were used.

Research result. The creation of preferential economic regimes with developed infrastructure in the last four decades in the Asia-Pacific countries has become a widespread practice that has allowed to expand the sales market, getting closer to the direct consumer, and minimize the costs associated with production and logistics through tax incentives and preferences.

Discussion and conclusion. The Russian Far East, which is part of the Asia-Pacific region of the world, is inferior to the economic zones of the Asia- Pacific countries in terms of infrastructure quality and logistics development. It is concluded that additional measures are needed to support preferential regimes, increase investment attractiveness and improve the investment climate to ensure the competitiveness of the Far East in the Asia-Pacific region of the world.

Humorous and Non-Humorous Effects in Sitcoms: a Relevance-Theoretic Perspective
Authors: Wieczorek Magdalena
Published: January 2021

Humorous utterances can be divided into those which are created for their own sake (that is, to amuse others), dubbed autotelic humour, and those which communicate truthful and/or untruthful meanings germane to the ongoing conversation, dubbed speaker-meaning-telic humour (Dynel 2018). The present paper carries out a qualitative analysis of humorous units in sitcom discourse with a view to delineating a number of propositional meanings, which can be potentially derived by the TV recipients. Special attention is confined to one of the most powerful tools used to explain humour in various humorous manifestations, i.e. weak implicatures (Sperber and Wilson 1986 [1995]; Wilson and Sperber 2004). It is believed here that pragmatic COMPREHENSION mechanisms proposed within Relevance Theory and the notion of weakly communicated assumptions are two sides of the same coin since these account not only for the viewer’s recovery of a humorous interpretation but also of an array of non-humorous propositional meanings. Moreover, the participatory framework has been employed as an additional parameter to show the difference in the reception of a dialogue by fictional characters and the viewers.

CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURES IN THE MOVIE “THE MERMAID” (2016)
Authors: Linh Tran Thi Thuy
Published: January 2021

"The Mermaid" (2016) is a Chinese fiction-comedy which ignites numerous laughters among the audience thanks to its humorous details and conversations among characters in the movie. On the basis of Gricean conversational implicatures (1975), this paper analyses conversational implicatures when characters intentionally violate conversation maxims. A total of 27 conversations with violations are put into analysis, among which some violate a single maxim whereas others may violate several maxims. Violations of the maxim of quality account for the highest proportion, and violations of the maxim of quantity the lowest. Interlocutors' implicatures are identified through the use of inference on the basis of, inter alia, contexts, settings, and relations among characters.

Published: January 2021

This investigation was carried out during 2018/2019 season in three locations Homs, Al-Swaida and Tartous belongs to the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research in Syria, using 17 Italian, Syrian and Ethiopian wheat genotypes to estimate the potential diversity by principle component and cluster analysis, and to study the structural modeling between grain yield and other traits to define best traits as predictors and selection indexes of grain yield, and to determine the superior genotypes in grain yield. Results indicated a remarkable variation of 74% due only to the first four principle components with Eigen value > 1. PC Biplot showed that Tartous was the best location, and the genotype SD09 was superior in grain yield per plant followed by SH5 and IP39. Structural modeling results revealed that the total and fertile tillers number per plant were the best predictors for grain yield per plant, while fertile tillers per plant with grain weight per spike could be used as selection indexes of wheat grain yield because they had positive strong direct effect on grain yield per plant. Cluster analysis results confirmed the need to assess more various genotypes from different origins.
Effect of Method and Time of Management on European Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica L.) Growth and Development in Minnesota
Authors: Bisikwa Jenipher , Natukunda Martha I. , Becker Roger L
Published: January 2021

European buckthorn is an exotic problematic invasive woody species that has displaced native plant species in Minnesota woodlands. Buckthorn is also an overwintering host for oat crown rust and soybean aphids, which can cause significant crop yield losses. The overall goal of this study was to test multiple buckthorn control methods and examine the establishment of native plant species in colonized areas. Specific objectives were to 1) determine the effectiveness of buckthorn control methods when applied in different seasons, 2) monitor seedling recruitment and resprouting ability of buckthorn saplings following treatment, 3) monitor recruitment and survival of native plant species following treatment, and 4) characterize buckthorn carbohydrate fluctuations and considerations for timely and effective buckthorn management. Field experiments conducted for two years in two locations (Eagle Lake Regional Park and Battle Creek Regional Park, Minnesota, U.S.A), tested four buckthorn control treatments: 1) cutting only; 2) cutting+stump treatment with herbicide (triclopyr); 3) cutting+stump treatment with herbicide+burning, and 4) cutting+burning. Untreated controls were included in each experiment. Across management seasons, the cutting+stump treatment with herbicide resulted in higher seedling densities for buckthorn and other species the next season compared to cutting only without herbicide application. Spring management resulted in the lowest seedling density the next season for both buckthorn and other plant species, and spring control treatments that included herbicide and burning resulted in higher buckthorn and native species seedling densities than treatments without burning. Because seasonal total nonstructural carbohydrate levels in buckthorn crowns were highest in the fall season, we recommend applying systemic herbicides in the fall when carbohydrates are translocated for storage to facilitate herbicide translocation and efficacy. Our study shows that integrating multiple buckthorn control methods reduces buckthorn populations and increases native species diversity. For long-term control of buckthorn seedling establishment, follow-up treatments like applying foliar herbicide sprays can be used in addition to prescribed burning.
Distinguishing Features: Linear Rashing is Not Always Koebnerization

Cutaneous sarcoidosis and psoriasis are dermatologic conditions that can have a similar clinical appearance.  Psoriasiform sarcoidosis shows thick white or silvery scaling reminiscent of psoriasis and both conditions can be linear.  Psoriasis is associated with linear scaled patches that are induced by mechanical trauma (Koebner Phenomenon).  Linear lesions in cutaneous sarcoidosis are not a result of koebnerization, rather cutaneous granulomas appear in well-healed scars decades after the trauma within what can be termed an immunocompromised district.  This paper will focus on the features that distinguish psoriasis and cutaneous sarcoidosis, since prompt diagnosis leads to appropriately targeted treatment.

Perceptions of Teledermatology among people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Authors: Eichelberger Ashley , Butt Melissa , Silva Colleen , Mosley Aretha , Kirby Joslyn
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory condition that requires frequent dermatology visits. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) led to a shift in healthcare delivery to telemedicine. Teledermatology can be valuable for HS patients to decrease travel and wait times and improve patient access. However, we hypothesized that people with HS may have concerns or challenges participating in HS due to its frequent occurrence in sensitive or difficult-to-photograph locations.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was sent to patients with HS at one academic institution as well as leaders of three patient networks.
Results: Survey responses were received from 149 patients. A total of 94.4% were willing to have an online appointment due to COVID-19, and 88.9% were willing to use teledermatology if COVID-19 had not happened. 32.3% of patients reported that they had ever missed an appointment not due to COVID-19.
Discussion: Our findings support patient willingness to use teledermatology for treatment and management of their HS.

Authors: Jia Jemianne Bautista , Nguyen Emilie T. , Ravilla Anoop , Mastrolonardo Eric , Min Jean , Yao Janis F. , Lekht Ilya
Published: January 2021

Objectives:

The objective of this study is to compare the rates of secondary intervention following uterine artery embolization (UAE) versus myomectomy for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Material and Methods:

This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Eight hundred and sixty-three patients are included in this analysis, 451 patients who underwent UAE and 412 patients who underwent myomectomy between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2012. The UAE group was significantly older than the myomectomy group with a median age of 46 versus 38 (P < 0.0001). Patient data were collected from electronic medical records between the time of their initial procedure and December 31, 2017. The primary endpoint was secondary intervention rate. Secondary endpoints included time to secondary intervention, post-procedural complications, differences in mean hemoglobin levels following the procedures, symptomatic improvement, and subsequent pregnancy outcomes. All statistical analyses were two sided and performed using SAS EG 7.13 (Cary, NC).

Results:

The median follow-up for the UAE and myomectomy groups was 7 and 7.3 years, respectively. Overall, the rates of secondary intervention were not statistically significant between the UAE and myomectomy groups, 8.9% and 11.2%, respectively (P = 0.26). However, stratified analysis in women aged 30–39 years old demonstrated an increased rate of secondary intervention in the UAE arm with a hazards ratio of 3.76 (P = 0.0099). In patients ≥40 years old, there was no significant difference in secondary intervention rate. Both groups demonstrated a significant increase in mean hemoglobin at 1 year following initial procedure with a mean difference (SD) of 1.8 (2.1) in the UAE group and 1.8 (2.5) in the myomectomy group (P < 0.0001 for both groups). The myomectomy group had a higher rate of post-procedural blood transfusion than the UAE group, 2.9% versus 0.9%, respectively (P = 0.028). Both groups had comparable rates of post-procedural pelvic infection and rehospitalization. Patients with pre-procedural menorrhagia who received UAE reported a higher rate of symptomatic improvement when compared to the myomectomy group, 75.4% versus 49.5% (P < 0.0001). Both groups reported similar rates of improvement in bulk symptoms, 46.1% and 43.2%, respectively (P = 1.0).

Conclusion:

Overall, UAE and myomectomy have comparable rates of secondary intervention during a median 7-year follow-up period. However, in women between 30 and 39 years of age, UAE resulted in higher rates of secondary intervention. UAE may be more effective in controlling patients’ menorrhagia and has lower rates of post-procedural blood transfusions.
Hypervascular pancreatic metastasis: an easy imaging diagnostic?
Authors: Lupescu Ioana G. , Boroş Mirela , Ștefănescu Florinela
Published: January 2021

Learning objectives. To review the computed tomograpy (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of hypervascular pancreatic metastases (HPM). To discuss the main differential diagnosis of HPM. Materials and method. We retrospectively analyzed images from the CT and MRI evaluations of six patients who were diagnosed with HPM by morphopathological examination in the last ten years. Results. In our study, hypervascular pancreatic metastases corresponded to renal cell carcinoma, breast carcinoma and uterine leiomyosarcoma. In non-enhanced CT (NECT), all lesions were isodense or slightly hypodense. After i.v. injection of contrast medium (CM), hypervascular pancreatic metastases have displayed an early arterial phase enhancement, followed by rapid washout in the portal and delayed phases images. Contrast-enhanced CT showed for pancreatic metastases from uterine leio­myo­sarcoma a gradual enhancement. The common ap­pea­rance in MRI for HPM was hypointense in T1 weighted image (wi), heterogeneous aspect in T2 wi or mo­de­ra­tely hyperintense signal with restricted diffusion. After Gd-based CM i.v. injection, HPM showed the same dy­namic as in CT evaluation. Conclusions. HPM may create a diagnostic challenge, therefore the pathological exa­mi­na­tion remains essential and represents the gold standard for the final diagnosis.
Deciphering Aspartyl Peptide Sweeteners Using the Ultimate Molecular Theory of Sweet Taste
Authors: He Huazhong
Published: January 2021

More than thirty years ago, I proposed a theory about sweet and bitter molecules’ recognition by protein helical structures. Unfortunately the papers

could not go to public platform until now. The sweet and bitter taste theory is updated and presented in separated papers. 1,2 Under the guidance of the sweet

receptor helix recognition theory 1, aspartyl/aminomalonyl peptide sweeteners are deciphered. Here it demonstrates that, this series of sweeteners has a

hydrogen-bond type hydrogen donor - hydrogen acceptor DH-B moiety and their DH-B is very special. Their B of the DH-B moiety is an oxygen of the carboxylic

group, which is widely accepted one. The DH of the DH-B moiety however is the NH of the aspartyl/aminomalonyl peptide, which is a selection for the first time to

the best of my knowledge. Even more unusual, their dynamic action acts through

the hydrogen on alpha carbon of aspartyl/aminomalonyl group. The receptor main and side grooves have different space characteristics in accepting sweet

molecules’ groups, which is elaborated in this paper. This unprecedented elucidation well explains the aspartyl/aminomalonyl peptide sweeteners’

phenomenon and, in return, strongly supports this sweet receptor helix recognition theory.
Generality of Correlation between Yield and Reduced Mass of Raw Materials in Organic Reactions
Authors: Kawashima Masatoshi
Published: January 2021

To validate a generality of the correlation between product yield and reduced mass of raw materials, the regression analysis of 129 reaction examples (55 as a sample size) including at least 66 types of reactions used in syntheses of natural products such as peptides and terpenes was conducted. It was possible to predict a yield of a variety of synthetic reactions for a synthesis of natural product with many aliphatic carbon chains by applying a reduced mass, adjusted with a molecular weight and the number of rotatable bond, to the regression equation. Moreover, it was found that the increase in yield due to a use of the adjusted reduced mass correlated with the harmonic mean of the molar heat capacity of raw materials and was expressed as a second-order approximation within the analysis range.
DECIMER Segmentation - Automated Extraction of Chemical Structure Depictions from Scientific Literature
Authors: Rajan Kohulan , brinkhaus Henning Otto , Sorokina Maria , Zielesny Achim , Steinbeck Christoph
Published: January 2021

Chemistry looks back at many decades of publications on chemical compounds, their structures and properties, in scientific articles. Liberating this knowledge (semi-)automatically and making it available to the world in open-access databases is a current challenge. Apart from mining textual information, Optical Chemical Structure Recognition (OCSR), the translation of an image of a chemical structure into a machine-readable representation, is part of this workflow. As the OCSR process requires an image containing a chemical structure, there is a need for a publicly available tool that automatically recognizes and segments chemical structure depictions from scientific publications. This is especially important for older documents which are only available as scanned pages. Here, we present DECIMER (Deep lEarning for Chemical IMagE Recognition) Segmentation, the first open-source, deep learning-based tool for automated recognition and segmentation of chemical structures from the scientific literature.

The workflow is divided into two main stages. During the detection step, a deep learning model recognizes chemical structure depictions and creates masks which define their positions on the input page. Subsequently, potentially incomplete masks are expanded in a post-processing workflow. The performance of DECIMER Segmentation has been manually evaluated on three sets of publications from different publishers. The approach operates on bitmap images of journal pages to be applicable also to older articles before the introduction of vector images in PDFs.

By making the source code and the trained model publicly available, we hope to contribute to the development of comprehensive chemical data extraction workflows. In order to facilitate access to DECIMER Segmentation, we also developed a web application. The web application, available at https://decimer.ai, lets the user upload a pdf file and retrieve the segmented structure depictions.

Mosquitoes propagate many human diseases, some widespread and with no vaccines. The Ae. aegypti mosquito vector transmits Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue viruses. Effective public health interventions to control the spread of these diseases and protect the population require models that explain the core environmental drivers of the vector population. Field campaigns are expensive, and data from meteorological sites that feed models with the required environmental data often lack detail. As a consequence, we explore temporal modeling of the population of Ae. aegypti mosquito vector species and environmental conditions- temperature, moisture, precipitation, and vegetation- have been shown to have significant effects. We use earth observation (EO) data as our source for estimating these biotic and abiotic environmental variables based on proxy features, namely: Normalized difference vegetation index, Normalized difference water index, Precipitation, and Land surface temperature. We obtained our response variable from field-collected mosquito population measured weekly using 791 mosquito traps in Vila Velha city, Brazil, for 36 weeks in 2017, and 40 weeks in 2018. Recent similar studies have used machine learning (ML) techniques for this task. However, these techniques are neither intuitive nor explainable from an operational point of view. As a result, we use a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) to model this relationship due to its fitness for count response variable modeling, its interpretability, and the ability to visualize the confidence intervals for all inferences. Also, to improve our model, we use the Akaike Information Criterion to select the most informative environmental features. Finally, we show how to improve the quality of the model by weighting our GLM. Our resulting weighted GLM compares well in quality with ML techniques: Random Forest and Support Vector Machines. These results provide an advancement with regards to qualitative and explainable epidemiological risk modeling in urban environments.

SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF SUGARCANE BAGASSE ASH AND MARBLE SLUDGE POWDER AS A PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT IN CONCRETE
Authors: Ullah Zeeshan
Published: January 2021

Marble sludge powder is produced as a by-product during the cutting and polishing of marble. Similarly, sugarcane bagasse ash is produced during the burning operation of sugarcane bagasse. Improper disposal of these waste materials poses a severe threat to the environment. The objective of this research study was to partially substitute cement with a binary mixture of SBA and MSP to reduce the environmental and health issues by adequately utilizing the waste material in the production of low-cost and eco-friendly concrete. For this purpose, a total of 174 concrete cylinders were tested. Apart from this, XRF and EDX tests were performed to determine the chemical composition of waste. Ordinary Portland cement was replaced with a binary mix of SBA and MSP from 0 to 40% by weight to achieve the synergistic effect. Various tests were performed, including compressive and splitting tensile strength and material tests, i.e. specific gravity, absorption capacity, sieve analysis, dry rodded unit weight, and moisture content. The tested specimens were compared with the control samples. The results showed that the difference between compressive and tensile strength up to 15% replacement is within targeted strength and slump. The optimized sample by partial substitution with a negligible effect on properties of concrete was SB10-MP5 and SB5-MP10. The increase in partial replacement above 15% will lead to a decrease in compressive and tensile strength. The cost per cubic meter of concrete was reduced by 8% as per MRS2019.

Authors: Keerio Hareef Ahmed
Published: January 2021

The purpose of the study was to investigate the variation in climatic parameters and possible climate effects in the Hyderabad region. The least-square regression method was used to find a linear change in climatic parameters (Temperature and Precipitation). The maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures; annual, and monsoon precipitations were considered under the study. In the last 100 years, the global temperature has been increased by 0.6 or 0.74 0C. In Hyderabad city, we predicted that the minimum temperature (Tmin), maximum temperature (Tmax), and mean temperature (Tmean) are varied in the range of 0.00490C/year to -0.01330C/year. The variability in the precipitation was observed in the last 30 years. Yearly and monsoon precipitation was decreasing with the rate of 1.24mm/year, and 1.34mm/year. The maximum precipitation occurs in July, August, and September; in the rest of the months, no or little precipitation occurred which may lead to a shortage of fresh water.

Authors: Talib Hasan Takwah
Published: January 2021

The laminar fluid flow of water through the annulus duct was investigated numerically by ANSYS fluent version 15.0 with height (2.5, 5, 7.5) cm and constant length (L=60cm). With constant heat flux applied to the outer duct. The heat flux at the range (500,1000,1500,2000) w/m2 and Reynolds number values were ≤ 2300. The problem was 2-D investigated. Results revealed that Nusselt number decrease and the wall temperature increase with the increase of heat flux. Also, the average Nusselt number increase as Re increases. And as the height of the annulus increase, the values of the temperature and the local and average Nusselt number increase.
