Policy Framework for Energy Retrofitting of Built Heritage: A Critical Comparison of UK and Turkey
Atmosphere, 2020 Energy efficiency is one of the most prominent global challenges of our era. Heritage buildings usually have a poor energy performance, not necessarily because of their intrinsic constructive features but due to their mostly dilapidated condition owed to

Stochastic Models for the Kinematics of Moisture Transport and Condensation in Homogeneous Turbulent Flows [PDF]
, 2006 The transport of a condensing passive scalar is studied as a prototype model for the kinematics of moisture transport on isentropic surfaces. Condensation occurs whenever the scalar concentration exceeds a specified local saturation value.
