Optimization of energy consumption and cost effectiveness of modular buildings by using renewable energy sources [PDF]
Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2015 Problems of the temporary structures are generally dealt with by the use of modular buildings. These actually meet the terms of low costs, as appose to the terms of convenience of use, or energy efficiency in operation.

Modular A5 symmetry for flavour model building [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Abstract In the framework of the modular symmetry approach to lepton flavour, we consider a class of theories where matter superfields transform in representations of the finite modular group Γ5 ≃ A 5. We explicitly construct a basis for the 11 modular forms of weight 2 and level 5.
