Estimating the building based energy consumption as an anthropogenic contribution to urban heat islands
Abstract Today the implication of buildings’ electricity demand on the outdoor climate around buildings is not fully understood. For tropical cities like Singapore, where air-conditioning is required throughout the year and high rise buildings...

Resource partitioning among top-level piscivores in a sub-Arctic lake during thermal stratification
Abstract In systems with multiple piscivores, co-occurrence is dependent on resource partitioning. This is pronounced in oligotrophic northern lakes, which have simple food webs and short open-water seasons. We used acoustic telemetry and stable...

Climate and socioeconomic influences on interannual variability of cholera in Nigeria
Abstract Cholera is one of the most important climate sensitive diseases in Nigeria that pose a threat to public health because of its fatality and endemic nature. This study aims to investigate the influences of meteorological and socioeconomic...

Identifying drivers for the intra-urban spatial variability of airborne particulate matter components and their interrelationships
Abstract The aim of this work was to compare the variability in an urban area of fine particles (PM2.5), ultrafine particles (UFP) and black carbon (BC) and to evaluate the relationship between each particle metric and potential factors (local...

The role of CO2 decline for the onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation
Abstract The Pliocene–Pleistocene Transition (PPT), from around 3.2 to 2.5 million years ago (Ma), represented a major shift in the climate system and was characterized by a gradual cooling trend and the appearance of large continental ice sheets...

Platform of Design Method for Developing Mobility-preserving Products
Abstract Preserving the mobility of elderly people is becoming increasingly important, as other factors of quality of life, such as autonomy or participation in social life, are connected with mobility. Starting from an analysis of elderly people as ...

Estimating Water Demands in Buildings
Abstract The 99th percentile of water demand during the peak period is often adopted to size the piping system in a building. Two new approaches for estimating peak water use are introduced. Both provide the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of ...

Numerical modelling of the transport of trace gases including methane in the subsurface of Mars
Abstract We model the transport of gas through the martian subsurface in order to quantify the timescales of release of a trace gas with a source at depth using a Fickian model of diffusion through a putative martian regolith column. The model is...

Effects of Debris Cloud Interaction with Satellites Critical Equipments – Experiments and Modeling
Abstract The level of damage imparted on three types of satellites components resulting from hypervelocity impacts of aluminum projectiles onto a neighboring structural part have been assessed experimentally by using a double stage light gas gun....

Pacific 187Os/188Os isotope chemistry and U–Pb geochronology: Synchroneity of global Os isotope change across OAE 2
Abstract Studies of OAE 2 sections beyond the Atlantic Ocean, Western Interior Seaway (WIS) and European pelagic shelf are limited. Here, we present initial osmium isotope stratigraphy (187Os/188Os– ...

Globally enhanced mercury deposition during the end-Pliensbachian extinction and Toarcian OAE: A link to the Karoo–Ferrar Large Igneous Province
Abstract The Mesozoic Era featured emplacement of a number of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs), formed by the outpouring of millions of cubic kilometres of basaltic magma. The radiometric ages of several Mesozoic LIPs coincide with the dates of...

Dual-pressure Air Receiver Cycle for Direct Storage Charging
Abstract Combined cycle solar thermal power plants are expected to bring an efficiency increase as compared to state-of-the-art cycles. A passive sensible heat storage system in the low pressure part is expected to enable dispatchability of such a...
