Performance of bifacial PV modules under different operating conditions in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability, 2023
Brazil's cumulative photovoltaic (PV) installations have now surpassed 32 GWp. The fastest growing and most prevalent PV technology is the bifacial photovoltaic module, which is now being incorporated in more than 2/3 of new power plants.

Hybrid zones: windows on climate change [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015
Defining the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on biodiversity and species distributions is currently a high priority. Niche models focus primarily on predicted changes in abiotic factors; however, species interactions and adaptive evolution will impact the ability of species to persist in the face of changing climate.

Mapping Europe into local climate zones [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2019
Cities are major drivers of environmental change at all scales and are especially at risk from the ensuing effects, which include poor air quality, flooding and heat waves. Typically, these issues are studied on a city-by-city basis owing to the spatial complexity of built landscapes, local topography and emission patterns. However, to ensure knowledge

Climate change scenarios and the dragon fruit climatic zoning in Brazil

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2022
Abstract BACKGROUND:The presente paper aims to compute climatological zones apt for the cultivation of pitaya based on trends in the occurrence of climate change events from the IPCC in Brazil. We used temperature and precipitation data from 4,942 cities collected on the NASA / POWER platform from 1990 to 2020 to elaborate on the current ...

Spatiotemporal variation of agroecosystem service trade-offs and its driving factors across different climate zones

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Spatiotemporal characteristics of the trade-off among ecosystem services and its mechanism have been extensively studied. However, studies on the difference in spatiotemporal variation of ecosystem services trade-offs in various climate zones under ...

How relevant are local climate zones and urban climate zones for urban climate research? Dijon (France) as a case study [PDF]

Urban Climate, 2018
Several typologies of urban surface properties have been proposed, in recent years, for urban heat island studies and climate modeling. Some were specifically developed for cities and urban climate issues, like the Urban Climate Zones, and the more recent Local Climate Zones.

Factors Associated With the Rising Trend in Self‐Reported Cognitive Disability Among U.S. Adults Aged 18–39 From 2013–2024

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Building on our prior Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System analysis identifying adults aged 18–39 as the primary driver of the national increase in self‐reported cognitive disability, we examined factors associated with this rise using 2013–2024 U.S. BRFSS data. Methods We analyzed U.S.

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.
