Case study investigation of indoor air quality in mechanically ventilated and naturally ventilated UK social housing
Abstract There is a significant lack of indoor air quality research in low energy homes. This study compared the indoor air quality of eight newly built case study homes constructed to similar levels of air-tightness and insulation; with two...

Simulation of Operational Management for the Solar Thermal Test and Demonstration Power Plant Jülich Using Optimized Control Strategies of the Storage System
Abstract Electricity production costs and overall net efficiency of the system are determining factors regarding the quality and cost effectiveness of a solar tower power plant. These factors are strongly dependent on the quality of heliostats, the...

Intercomparison of Solar Maps Derived from an Ensemble-ANN Model and a Semi-empirical Model for a Desert Environment
Abstract Increasing interest is devoted to the development of solar powered plants in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula. However, the unique climatological conditions of the region, characterized by high dust concentrations, high humidity and...

Ray Tracing of a Solar Collector Designed for Uniform Yearly Production
Abstract One of the problems with solar flat plate collectors for domestic water heating is that they produce more energy in the summer months, when the domestic hot water needs are lower than in winter months. This causes a significant difference...

Investigation of a transonic separating/reattaching shear layer by means of PIV
Abstract The separating/reattaching flow over an axisymmetric backward-facing step is analyzed experimentally by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV). The main purpose of the measurements is the investigation of the mean flow field as well as...

Changes in trace metal sedimentation during freshening of a coastal basin
Abstract Holocene freshening has turned the Bothnian Bay, northern Baltic Sea into an oligotrophic basin. Sequestering of trace elements has changed significantly during the oligotrophication process. In principle, trace metals have been transferred ...

Subducted, detached, and torn slabs beneath the Greater Caucasus
Abstract The Greater Caucasus Mountains contain the highest peaks in Europe and define, for over 850km along strike, the leading edge of the second-largest active collisional orogen on Earth. However, the mechanisms by which this range is being...

Effect of GIA models with 3D composite mantle viscosity on GRACE mass balance estimates for Antarctica
Abstract Seismic data indicate that there are large viscosity variations in the mantle beneath Antarctica. Consideration of such variations would affect predictions of models of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), which are used to correct satellite ...

Why models run hot: results from an irreducibly simple climate model
Abstract An irreducibly simple climate-sensitivity model is designed to empower even non-specialists to research the question how much global warming we may cause. In 1990, the First Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ...

Phytoplankton phenology indices in coral reef ecosystems: Application to ocean-color observations in the Red Sea
Abstract Phytoplankton, at the base of the marine food web, represent a fundamental food source in coral reef ecosystems. The timing (phenology) and magnitude of the phytoplankton biomass are major determinants of trophic interactions. The Red Sea...
