Historical trends and current state of heating and cooling degree days in Italy

, 2015
Degree days (DD) represent a versatile climatic indicator which is commonly used in the analysis of building energy performance, as e.g. (i) to perform energetic assessment of existent and new buildings, (ii) to analyze the territory energy consumption, (

Selective brain cooling reduces water turnover in dehydrated sheep. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In artiodactyls, arterial blood destined for the brain can be cooled through counter-current heat exchange within the cavernous sinus via a process called selective brain cooling.

A New Method for Contrasting Energy Performance and Near-Zero Energy Building Requirements in Different Climates and Countries

Energies, 2018
In this study a robust method enabling one to compare the energy performance in different climates was developed. Derived normalization factors allow “to move” the building from one climate to another with corresponding changes in heating ...

Modified Models and Database for Calculating Cooling Degree-Days for the Egyptian Climates [PDF]

International Conference on Aerospace Sciences and Aviation Technology, 2017
Abstract: Degree-days techniques are fundamental steady state methods for cooling frameworks analysis. The significance of such techniques shows up in the most recent couple of decades where vitality consumption increments altogether while the world energy assets turn out to be rare. Additionally, these techniques can provide a straightforward approach

Exploration of Pseudobinary Alloys (Al–Mn)‐(Co–Fe–Ni) to Design High‐Entropy and Compositionally Complex Alloys to Stabilize the τ Phase in Al–Mn‐Based Ferromagnetic Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This experimental study investigates the thermodynamic limits of the Al–Mn τ ferromagnetic phase within complex‐composition alloys (CCAs). Using nine rare‐earth‐free compositions, it explores a broad region of the pseudobinary AlMnCoFeNi system. The results reveal intricate links between composition, phase stability, and magnetic behavior, highlighting

Trends in Cooling Degree Days for Building Energy Estimation in Latvia

Construction Science, 2013
Calculation of cooling degree days (CDDs) and hours (CDHs) is one of the simplest methods to describe the effect of outside air temperature on building cooling energy consumption. Calculations of CDD numbers and analysis of trends were performed using 10-year data of outdoor temperature, measured at the meteorological station in Riga (Latvia).

Precipitation Simulations of the O‐Phase in Ti2AlNb Alloys Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Simulated and experimental evolution of the O‐phase volume fraction during postprocessing of a Ti‐21Al‐25Nb (at.%) alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion. With results of sensitivity to input parameters from a thorough and quantified analysis, the interfacial energy matrix/precipitate is the most relevant input parameter for the simulation of the O‐
