An approach to decreasing the peak electrical demand in residences
Abstract A project to reduce the peak electrical demand by 65% for a new residential housing development in the Desert Southwest portion of the US is described. The period of the peak demand is considered to be 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm local daylight...

Modelling carrier recombination in highly phosphorus-doped industrial emitters
Abstract One important parameter for modelling emitter recombination is the surface recombination velocity (SRV), which strongly depends on the surface doping concentration and the applied surface passivation. However, for highly phosphorus-doped...

An Assessment of Diffuse Solar Energy Models in Terms of Estimation Accuracy
Abstract This paper presents models for diffuse solar energy on a horizontal surface for main five sites in Malaysia. The diffuse solar energy is modeled using linear, non-linear and ANN models. Three statistical values are used to evaluate the...

Effects of human activities on the eco-environment in the middle Heihe River Basin based on an extended environmental Kuznets curve model
Abstract With rapid socio-economic development over the past three decades in China, adverse effects of human activities on the natural ecosystem are particularly serious in arid regions where landscape ecology is fragile due to limited water...

Saturn’s visible lightning, its radio emissions, and the structure of the 2009–2011 lightning storms
Abstract Visible lightning on Saturn was first detected by the Cassini camera in 2009 at ∼35° South latitude. We report more lightning observations at ∼35° South later in 2009, and lightning in the 2010–2011 giant lightning storm at ∼35° North. The...

Effects of free-air CO2 enrichment on adventitious root development of rice under low and normal soil nitrogen levels
Abstract Free air CO2 enrichment (FACE) and nitrogen (N) have marked effects on rice root growth, and numerical simulation can explain these effects. To further define the effects of FACE on root growth of rice, an experiment was performed, using...

Multivariate Areal Interpolation for Continuous and Count Data
Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) users often need to disaggregate and reaggregate data collected in polygons, but classical kriging models only allow for data collected in points. We discuss our implementation of areal interpolation, a...
