Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

An object–pressure–endurance–resilience system for assessing the vulnerability of coastal zone ecosystems

Ecological Indicators, 2022
As a zone of interaction between land and sea, coastal zones are important carriers of the marine economy, and they are the focal point for strategies related to strengthening a country by means of the sea. As the coastal zones are where land and sea are

Tri–Band and Dual–Response Smart Windows With Asymmetric Mid–Infrared Emissivity for Year–Round Energy Conservation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our promising smart window exhibits exceptional optical properties, enabling the indoor temperature reduction of 12°C during summer and delivering the annual energy savings of 14.2%–24.4% across mid–to–low latitudes. ABSTRACT Building energy consumption accounts for 20%–40% of global energy usage, with windows among the least energy–efficient ...

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

An Inverse Method to Obtain Porosity, Fibre Diameter and Density of Fibrous Sound Absorbing Materials

Archives of Acoustics, 2013
Characterization of sound absorbing materials is essential to predict its acoustic behaviour. The most commonly used models to do so consider the flow resistiv- ity, porosity, and average fibre diameter as parameters to determine the acoustic ...

A Bayesian Approach to Carrying Capacity Estimate: The Case of Greek Coastal Cage Aquaculture

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The estimation of the carrying capacity (CC) is a fundamental process in integrated environmental management, policy making, and decision making. Aquaculture carrying capacity has been studied since the 1960s to allow estimation of the production limits ...
