Unravelling the relative contributions of climate change and ground disturbance to subsurface temperature perturbations: Case studies from Tyneside, UK [PDF]

, 2016
When assessing subsurface urban heat islands (UHIs) it is important to distinguish between localized effects of land-use change and the impacts of global climate change. However, few investigations have successfully unraveled the two influences.

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage for Solar Energy - Lessons learned

, 2022
För att minska den globala uppvärmningen krävs det tekniska lösningar som minimerar energianvändning. Lagring av värme mellan säsonger är en metod som visar god potential för att lagra värme från sommar till vinter då värmen behövs som mest. Detta görs ofta i form av lagring under jord med olika tekniker som exempelvis i borrhål, vilket är det tekniska

Thermochemical seasonal energy storage for solar thermal power [PDF]

, 1984
During the many years that thermochemical energy storage has been under investigation, the concept has been plagued with two persistent problems: high capital cost and poor efficiency. Literally hundreds of chemical reactions have also been carried out.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Seasonal Thermal-Energy Storage: A Critical Review on BTES Systems, Modeling, and System Design for Higher System Efficiency

Energies, 2017
Buildings consume approximately ¾ of the total electricity generated in the United States, contributing significantly to fossil fuel emissions. Sustainable and renewable energy production can reduce fossil fuel use, but necessitates storage for energy ...

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

New Concept of a Ground-Source Refrigeration and Air Conditioning System with Cross-Seasonal Energy Storage Capability

Energies
The performance of a conventional Ground-Source Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (GSRAC) system with a borehole heat exchanger (BHE) can be enhanced by addressing the soil thermal imbalance issue that affects these systems.

Advances in sorption systems for energy efficient heating and cooling [PDF]

, 2017
At present there is important R&D in the field of sorption heating, cooling and thermal energy storage systems going on worldwide. Sorption systems can enable a more efficient use of renewable energies (solar, geothermal, etc.) both for domestic and ...

Artificial Intelligence–Driven and Digital Practices for Circular Business and Finance: Insights for Advancing Hubs for Circularity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emerging concept of Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) presents an opportunity to create collaborative, self‐sustaining regional industrial ecosystems that drive circular economy transitions at scale. However, the operationalisation of H4Cs faces financial, organisational and data‐driven challenges.
