Influence of fuel change on indoor environmental quality on-board a passenger ferry

open access: yes, 2016
This study intends to investigate how a change of fuel type from Heavy Fuel Oil to a ultra-low sulphur hybrid oil affects the indoor air quality on board a passenger ferry. The indoor air quality was assessed with respect to the concentration of NO2, SO2

Comparative Performance Analysis of Various Flat Plate Solar Collectors Incorporating Spiral and Square Arrangement of Circular Type Riser Tube

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Three flat‐plate collectors with spiral and square coiled riser tubes were tested and it was found that the spiral type provides the best results with a thermal efficiency of 66.98% for a mass flow rate of 0.4 kg/min. Riser tube geometry is a key factor in optimizing flat‐plate collector output.

Temperature Coefficient Analysis of Polycrystalline PV Modules Under Field Conditions in Ghana

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Field measurements from a commercial PV plant in Ghana show polycrystalline module temperature coefficients of −0.473%/°C—31% higher than manufacturer values—highlighting the risk of underestimating energy losses and degradation in fast‐growing West African solar deployments.

Lacrimal caruncula thermography overestimates rectal temperature in horses: Influence of camera type and measurement distance

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rectal temperature (RT) is the gold standard for assessing body temperature in horses, but handling and welfare concerns limit its use. Thermography of the lacrimal caruncula (LC) has been proposed as a noncontact alternative, although its accuracy may be influenced by device characteristics and measurement distance.

Flame retardants in the indoor environment. Part IV

open access: yes, 2022
S.213-218Organophosphate esters are frequently applied as flame retardants in building products and other materials for indoor use. Exposure of residents to flame retardants mainly results from accumulation in house dust and indoor air.

Environmental Control for Edible Fungi Cultivation Based on Temporal Information and Deep Learning

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, there are still prevalent issues in greenhouse environmental regulation, such as response lag, low control accuracy, and difficulty in coping with sudden environmental disturbances. To achieve high‐precision and dynamic control of the edible fungi cultivation environment, this study proposes an edible fungi environmental control ...

Longitudinal associations between play experiences and trajectories of preschoolers' mental health from April–July, 2020

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Based on data collected monthly from April to July 2020, we found that time spent playing outside and with other children were associated with lower internalising problems across time in preschool‐aged children, whereas more time spent playing alone was associated with more severe internalising problems.
