Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Dynamically distributed district heating for an existing system [PDF]
The study in hand introduces the concept of dynamically distributed district heating. The concept addresses the challenges related to transforming an existing 3rd generation district heating system into a 4th generation system, one area at a time.

Small, EarlyView.Density functional theory calculations and microkinetic modeling were carried out on 108 dual‐atom catalysts with varied metalmetal distances ranging from 2.2 to 3.5 Å. The results reveal that moderate spacing of around 3.0 Å promotes bridging oxygen adsorption and dissociative reduction pathways, weakens the hydroxylhydroperoxyl scaling relationship ...

Towards 4th generation district heating: Prediction of building thermal load for optimal management
Energy, 2019 Abstract One of the requirements for the transition from conventional district heating (DH) systems to 4th generation DH (4GDH) systems is the knowledge of system dynamics. Forecast of thermal request profiles of buildings is crucial to optimize the operating conditions. In fact, when this is available, the thermal load evolution at the plants can be

steel research international, EarlyView.This work illustrates how substituting natural gas with hydrogen as fuel in the reheating furnace will influence the oxide scale formation on the steel surface. Thermogravimetric analysis and characterization techniques are used to investigate oxidation behavior and the formation of oxide phases.

Portable Radar for Noncontact Heart Rate Monitoring and Estrus Detection in Dairy Cows
IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.This study introduces a portable radar system for real‐time monitoring of respiratory and heart rates in dairy cows. It uses millimeter‐wave Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to perform noncontact physiological sensing, reducing behavioral disturbance. The radar system's design prioritizes portability, cost‐effectiveness, and robustness,
