Correlational study on thermal comfort and outdoor activities

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
AbstractThis research has investigated several correlation patterns between spatial behaviour and outdoor thermal comfort for urban spaces. An eight-hour field work of behavioural snapshots has been carried out at Market square, Cambridge, on a sunny day of May.

Autonomous Charging and Battery Swapping for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A Review

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review evaluates major autonomous charging and battery swapping methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a single question: how close each is to sustained unattended operation. Rather than ranking them by charging performance, it identifies the limitation that most restricts each method, and briefly outlines the supporting technologies ...

Outdoor Thermal Comfort and Microclimate Adaptation in Coastal Tourism: Evidence from Indonesia

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development
Outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) has become a crucial topic, particularly due to global warming and growing public interest in outdoor tourism. This study evaluated OTC conditions at Lampuuk Beach, Aceh Besar Regency, Indonesia, using field measurements of

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

Introducing the T-MCCR Index for Evaluating Urban Thermal Comfort and Morphological Performance

Urban Science
Urban morphology plays a key role in shaping outdoor thermal comfort, especially as cities experience increasing heat stress under climate change. While the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is widely applied in outdoor thermal comfort studies ...

Current and future outdoor thermal comfort in Asia

, 2022
Ongoing global warming causes increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as heat waves, which will only intensify over time. This will impact our future perceived thermal conditions, but to which extent? Our perceived thermal comfort is not only depending on air temperature but also on wind speed/ventilation, humidity, solar and thermal ...

Toward a Spatial Model for Outdoor Thermal Comfort [PDF]

, 2017
This paper presents the methods used and initial data analysis implemented toward the development of a spatial-architectural model for outdoor thermal comfort. Variables have been identified from existing thermal comfort models and qualified relative to their spatiality while data from a subset of these has been collected for preliminary statistical ...

The impact of urban geometry on the radiant environment in outdoor spaces [PDF]

, 2015
Urban geometry, namely the quantitative relationship of building volumes and open spaces (i.e. built density) and their spatial configuration (i.e. urban layout), is a major modifier of urban microclimate.

Boosting Bifacial Output Power of Ag‐CIGS Solar Cells by Optimizing ITO Back‐Contact Thickness for Tandem Applications

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Optimized ITO back contact with pre‐Ga supply growth and Ag incorporation suppresses GaOx formation and interface recombination in bifacial CIGS solar cells. The devices achieve 17.25% front and 5.77% rear efficiency, delivering record bifacial power density up to 32.26 mW cm−2 in 4T perovskite/CIGS tandem architectures under enhanced albedo ...
