Impact of Sahelian Climate Variables on Solar Photovoltaic Output

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a critical pathway for advancing the energy transition in the Sahel. However, PV module performance in this region is strongly constrained by extreme climatic conditions. This study investigates the effects of (1) wind speed, (2) relative humidity, (3) temperature, (4) dust deposition, and (5) solar irradiance

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.

A modular and programmable electrolyte platform: Covalently anchored thermochromic hydrogels for on‐demand electrochromic devices

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Developing stable, multifunctional hydrogel electrolytes without compromising performance presents a considerable challenge in the field. In this study, we introduce a material design strategy with broad applicability to combinations of functional polymeric segments, ionic monomers, and salts.

Daytime radiative cooling under extreme weather conditions

, 2023
Radiative cooling, taking advantage of the coldness of the sky, has a potential to be a sustainable alternative to meet cooling needs. The performance of a radiative cooling device is fundamentally limited by the emissivity of the sky, therefore depends ...

Effects of LED Light Exposure on Lutein and Bioactive Compounds in Nasturtium Flowers (Tropaeolum majus L.)

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Red LED supplementation during cultivation modulated the accumulation of bioactive compounds in Tropaeolum majus flowers. Moderate exposure (3–5 h) enhanced antioxidant capacity and increased carotenoids, phenolics, and anthocyanins depending on petal color, highlighting a simple strategy to improve the functional value of edible flowers. ABSTRACT This

Higher Energy Demands and Lower Body Condition in a Hot Spring: Comparing Relict Leopard Frogs at Two Thermally Contrasting Sites

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following range‐wide decline, all remnant populations of the relict leopard frog (Rana onca) in the eastern Mojave Desert of the southwestern USA occupied geothermally influenced hot springs. In recent years, however, several large populations have been established at cold‐water sites.

Bias Correction of ERA5 Temperature Across Five Topoclimatic Clusters: A Comparative Evaluation of Four Methods

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
ERA5 near‐surface temperature over South America exhibits systematic cold biases in daily maximum temperature and warm biases in daily minimum temperature. To address the continent's strong climatic and topographic heterogeneity, South America was partitioned into five topoclimatic clusters, and four bias‐correction approaches were evaluated. The Multi‐

Downscaling of Temperatures Over the Eastern Mediterranean for the 21st Century

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We developed an analogue‐based statistical downscaling method, using a K‐nearest‐neighbour framework, to project daily maximum temperature (Tmax) and minimum temperature (Tmin) at 32 homogenized meteorological stations. Late twenty‐first‐century (2080–2100) temperature projections obtained using the method, show robust warming across all stations and ...

Selection of polymers with functional groups for daytime radiative cooling

, 2019
The infrared ‘fingerprint’ of polymers that many functional groups/bonds such as C–F and C–O emit overlaps with the atmospheric transmittance window and is responsible for the radiative cooling property of polymers.
