Whole‐House Thermal Bridge Modelling for Accurate Retrofit Energy Prediction

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study models thermal bridging in a UK semi‐detached house across pre‐ and post‐retrofit scenarios using piecemeal and whole‐house approaches with EWI and IWI. Whole‐house retrofits reduce heat transfer coefficient by 60%; findings demonstrate that default values are often unrepresentative and advocate tailored Ψ value databases.

The Critical Role of Economies of Scale: A Techno‐Economic Assessment of Small‐ Versus Large‐Scale Biogas Upgrading in Rural Tanzania

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Small‐scale biogas upgrading can improve methane quality but remains financially unattractive to individual rural households. Community‐scale implementation substantially lowers energy costs, demonstrating that economies of scale are critical to making purified biogas a viable clean‐cooking option in Tanzania.

A Control Strategy With Hybrid Compressor Modeling for Electric Vehicle CO2 Heat Pump Systems

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A hybrid PSO‐BP compressor sub‐model is developed and embedded in a MATLAB/Simscape physical model of a transcritical CO2 heat pump system for electric vehicles. Based on this high‐fidelity platform, a phased variable‐PTC cooperative control strategy is proposed and evaluated.

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

Equine 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.

Validation of a handheld smartphone markerless method for quantifying thoracolumbar flexion–extension range of motion in horses at trot

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Back pain and poor performance in horses are difficult to assess objectively and thoracolumbar flexion‐extension range of motion (FEROM) is not reliably evaluated by subjective observation alone. A handheld, smartphone‐based markerless computer vision system (RealHorse®; RH) may enable objective clinical and field‐based FEROM ...

Warmed intravenous fluid administration attenuated a reduction in body temperature in anaesthetised horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peri‐anaesthetic hypothermia is a well‐documented complication of general anaesthesia and is associated with prolonged recovery, impaired wound healing, and delayed coagulation. Fluid warmers can be used to mitigate heat loss, but there is little evidence supporting their effectiveness in equine anaesthesia.

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

Food 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 ...

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...
