Up‐to‐Date Review on Flat‐Plate Solar Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal Systems: Absorber Designs and Fabrication Materials

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Photovoltaic (PV) technology is generally perceived as well‐developed but suffers a drop in performance at high temperatures. Faced with this problem, researchers are turning to PV thermal (PVT) systems, which integrate electricity production and thermal energy. Flat‐plate PVT systems are the most widely adopted among the various configurations.

Net Zero Energy‐Ready Buildings: A Canadian Construction Perspective and Evaluation

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2024.
The design process for net‐zero energy‐ready buildings (NZErB) enhances energy resilience. This study assesses the potential of new and retrofit buildings in Canada to achieve NZErB status, using key performance indicators. Most new buildings and many retrofit ones meet level 5 in airtightness, TEDI, MEUI, and energy efficiency, with cellulose ...

Mega‐events and the minor

Area, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2024.
Short Abstract This paper argues for thinking mega‐events through minor theory, encouraging a concern for the micro, the marginalised, and the seemingly mundane in concert with developments at larger scales. This perspective reveals a deeper sense of the implications of, for instance, a mother and daughter walking under a new highway built for the ...

Computational Design of 2D Phosphorus Nanostructures for Renewable Energy Applications: A Review

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2024.
Elemental phosphorus in its various allotropes has received tremendous research attention due to its intriguing electronic and structural properties. However, the understanding of the physical phenomena of allotropic modification is still lacking. In this review, the basic principles and importance of theoretical studies are discussed, followed by a ...

The bay barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus (Darwin, 1854) in the Pleistocene of Europe? A review of Pleistocene Balanidae of northern Central Europe

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 547-565, May 2024.
ABSTRACT The bay barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus (Darwin, 1854) has been found in Northern Germany in brackish marine sediments of the Holsteinian interglacial. Whereas the cause of the contemporary distribution of this species is anthropogenic and there is evidence that it has resulted mainly from shipping, the fossil findings demonstrate that A ...

Energy‐Balance‐Based Plastic Design and Seismic Fragility Analysis of Steel Plate Shear Wall Coupled with Steel Side Columns

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The steel plate shear wall (SPSW) coupled with steel side columns (SSCs) through steel coupling beams, or the SPSW–SSC coupled structural system, is a novel lateral force resisting system that introduces coupling mechanism to the isolated SPSW pier. To simplify the complex iteration of the conventional seismic design procedure and obtain the favorable ...
