Thermal performance analysis of a low-cost and eco-friendly rotary desiccant wheel dehumidification system with recycled materials

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
Conventional rotary desiccant wheel dehumidification systems often present challenges regarding practicality, cost, size, and usability. This study experimentally investigates the performance of a novel, low-cost (∼$100) dehumidification system featuring

Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

Reinstatement and generic reassignment of Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat (Phyllanthaceae) based on living plant observations and specimen analysis

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat has been treated as a synonym of P. pulcher Wall. ex Müll. Arg. (syn. Nymphanthus glaucescens (Miq.) R.W.Bouman) since 1987. Through detailed morphological observations of living plants and critical examinations of type materials and additional specimens, this study revealed that the two taxa are morphologically very ...

Meyna grisea (King & Gamble) Robyns and Meyna peltata Robyns (Rubiaceae: Vanguerieae) – a new record of two ethnobotanically significant fruit trees from Manipur, India

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Meyna grisea and M. peltata, two new records from Imphal Valley, Manipur, India, characterised by a capitate stigma with 4–5 divergent, spreading lobes on a globose base, and a prominent peltate stigma, respectively, are described and illustrated here. Photographs, key to the species, along with their coordinates and diagnostic characters in comparison

A non-adiabatic desiccant wheel modeling and experimental validation /

open access: yes, 2013
Desiccant/evaporative cooling systems offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional vapor compression chillers. The desiccant wheel is the heart of this heat-driven cooling system. The main drawback of conventional desiccant wheels is the

Evidence for dispersal personality in the guppy across ecological conditions, with a minor effect of relative brain size

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Individuals that disperse typically exhibit specific phenotypical traits that facilitate dispersal and settlement success, known as ‘dispersal syndromes'. Consequentially, characterizing dispersers is crucial to understand other processes such as metapopulation dynamics and biological invasions.

Experimental Investigation of the performance of a Desiccant Wheel

open access: yes, 2012
Desiccant cooling systems have the potential to make a major contribution to the reduction of both CFC’s emissions and electricity peak load. An experimental investigation on the sensible effectiveness of a desiccant wheel is conducted. Measurements were
