Solar radio-frequency reflectivity and localization of FRB from solar reflection
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT The radiation of a fast radio burst (FRB) reflects from the Moon and Sun. If a reflection is detected, the time interval between the direct and reflected signals constrains the source to a narrow arc on the sky. If both Lunar and Solar reflections are detected these two arcs intersect, narrowly confining the location on the sky.

Materials to Mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect for Cool Pavement: A Brief Review
Buildings, 2022 The urban heat island (UHI) effect has a significantly negative impact on the living environment in urban areas. Asphalt pavement is one of the most widely used infrastructures that absorbs solar energy, which leads to the UHI effect and premature ...

Simulation and Experimental Evaluation of a Refractive-Reflective Static Solar Concentrator
Energies, 2023 Static solar devices have advantages over solar tracking systems. In pure reflective systems, solar reception is limited by the entry angle of the reflector. Many reflective systems are based on mirror Compound Parabolic Concentrators.
