Empirical study on the sound insulation of wooden lightweight frame floors [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
Lightweight frame structures become increasingly popular in housing. They are used in single-, as well as multifamily, residential buildings. Such a tendency is in the line with sustainable development and the need for energy conservation.

A clustering review of vegetation-indicating parameters in urban thermal environment studies towards various factors.

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Biology, 2022
People in outdoor areas suffer from more heat stress than indoors during warm seasons due to the lack of shelters or cooling facilities. This problem is pressing with urban heat island and continuous global warming.

Earth abundant spinel for hydrogen production in a chemical looping scheme at 550 °C

open access: yesGreen Energy & Environment, 2021
Operating chemical looping process at mid-temperatures (550–750 °C) presents exciting potential for the stable production of hydrogen. However, the reactivity of oxygen carriers is compromised by the detrimental effect of the relatively low temperatures ...

Impact of 3-D urban landscape patterns on the outdoor thermal environment: A modelling study with SOLWEIG

open access: yesComputers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2022
: With global warming and rapid urban growth, cities get warmer, which poses 3 additional stress on human thermal comfort and health. Complex three-dimensional (3D) 4 urban forms change radiation fluxes and shade patterns in cities, but most studies that

Insects in Fluctuating Thermal Environments

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 2015
All climate change scenarios predict an increase in both global temperature means and the magnitude of seasonal and diel temperature variation. The nonlinear relationship between temperature and biological processes means that fluctuating temperatures lead to physiological, life history, and ecological consequences for ectothermic insects that diverge
