Study on the snow drifting modelling criteria in boundary layer wind tunnels [PDF]
Constructii: Journal of Civil Engineering Research, 2014 The paper presents a study on modelling the wind drifting of the snow deposited on the flat roofs of buildings in wind tunnel. The physical model of snow drifting in wind tunnel simulating the urban exposure to wind action is not frequently reported in ...

, 1970 Condensation in attics and flat roofs of residential dwellings in Canada is a problem which, besides a nuisance, can and does cause damage to ceiling and wall structure. Each individual factor involved in the formation of condensation is known and can be calculated, but it is very difficult to predict when and how these factors, which together cause ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

The Role of Institutional Pressures in Technology Adoption for Low‐Carbon Manufacturing
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Existing research highlights that the adoption of low‐carbon technologies in manufacturing operations is shaped by the external environment. However, limited understanding exists regarding how technology‐related uncertainty interacts with institutional pressures to influence firms' adoption strategies.

Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.
