Physical and economic comparison of pasture-based automatic and conventional milking systems [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2020 Automatic milking systems (AMS) have the potential to increase dairy farm productivity and profitability; however, adoption rates, particularly in pasture-based systems, have been lower than expected. The objectives of this study were to compare the physical and economic performance of pasture-based AMS with conventional milking systems (CMS) and to ...

Air-, ground- and dual-source heat pumps: a comparison between energy-efficient systems for a Swedish dwelling [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) and ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are the most spread heat pumps nowadays. However, they suffer from drawbacks that could be mostly overcome coupling the two heat sources, i.e., using dual-source heat pumps (DSHPs).
