Energy conservation and sleep

Behavioural Brain Research, 1995
Phylogenetic and ontogenetic associations between sleep and endothermy are consistent with the hypothesis that sleep evolved in conjunction with endothermy to offset the high energetic cost of endothermy. The electrophysiological and thermoregulatory continuum of slow wave sleep, circadian torpor and hibernation substantiates a primordial link between ...

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN TRANSPORTATION

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1987
Abstract This paper describes research on energy conservation in South Africa, with the emphasis on road transport. Computer modelling for energy conservation from the point of view of both the economist and the roadbuilder is discussed. Research results in the fields of fuel consumption and traffic management are also cited.

Energy conservation and circular economy in China's process industries

Energy, 2010
Since energy consumption in process industries accounts for a great proportion of China's total energy consumption, energy conservation becomes the practical choice to reduce the conflict between energy demand and energy supply in China, and therefore ...

Energy conservation in infants

Behavioural Processes, 2015
Energy acquisition through suckling has been widely studied in rat and human infants. Processes mediating energy conservation, however, have not received the attention that they deserve. This essay, in honor of Professor Jerry Hogan, discusses parallel behaviors used by rat and human mothers to minimize energy loss in their offspring.

The allocation of energy conservation

Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research, 2015
Conservation is considered to be an important source of future energy, for example, in the International Energy Agency (2013), due to a claimed efficiency gap resulting from distorted consumer deci...

The energy conservation by information appliance

Proceedings of the 41st SICE Annual Conference. SICE 2002., 2004
This paper proposes an energy conservation method by using home state information. A network with Java, IP, and XML is available to more manufacturers and household electric appliances. A simulator shows that 15.6% of electric power is reducible since the appliances detect rooms' states.

On Energy Conservation and Transfer in Mitochondria

Journal of Bioenergetics, 1972
Structural and functional features of energy conservation and transfer in mitochondria have been examined in the light of recent developments, and hypothetical schemes for energy coupling and transfer have been presented.

Electricity and the Conservation of Energy

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1909
In any problem, accurate and, so far as practicable, concise statement is essential to proper consideration and correct solution. The economic problems which present themselves when the complex and far-reaching subject, Conservation of Natural Resources, is considered, can be approached best by first stating and defining them with reference solely to ...

Guidelines for energy conservation

Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 1981
An energy conservation program in the dietary department offers a means of containing costs in a health care facility. An effective program should include conservation measures which involve food service operations and equipment. Basic conservation measures are applicable in almost any dietary department.

Energy Consumption and Conservation

1982
This chapter discusses the future and present of energy consumption, the potential improvements in the efficiencies of energy use, and about the relationship of energy demand and detailed economic activities. MEDEE-2 model offers a means of collecting and processing large numbers of assumptions and calculating resultant energy use.
