Integrated energy concepts with heat recovery are not widely applied for hotels, i.e. there is a huge potential to further reduce the specific primary energy demand in this kind of buildings. The development and implementation ...

Solving the problems of high energy consumption and high emissions generated by the urban road systems is of great importance for the construction of low-carbon cities. Several tools have been developed to establish a ...

In vitro quantification of the effect of mechanical loads on cells by live microscopy requires precise control of load and culture environment. Corresponding systems are often bulky, their setup and maintenance are time ...

Industry is responsible for about 25-30 % of the global primary energy demand (Elmegaard, Zühlsdorf et al. 2017), and around two thirds of this is used for heating and cooling (Elmegaard, Zühlsdorf et al. 2017). Several ...

The production of electricity from hydropower is exclusively determined by the availability of water. Upstream water use such as irrigation and drinking water supply, down-stream constraints and climate change are just ...

Decarbonization of electricity generation can support climate-change mitigation and presents an opportunity to address pollution resulting from fossil-fuel combustion. Generally, renewable technologies require higher initial ...

Maritime fuel management (MFM) controls the procurement and consumption of the fuels used on board and therefore manages one of the most important cost drivers in the shipping industry. At the operational level, a shipping ...

A challenge in the design of polymeric membranes for gas separation is the tradeoff between permeability, or how fast gases can flow through the membrane, and selectivity, the ability to separate one gas from another. In ...

Although the exceptional spatiotemporal extent of the Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey (WBPHS) has substantially contributed to our understanding of the ecology of North American waterfowl, vast geographical ...

Over the last decade, ocean sunfish movements have been monitored worldwide using various satellite tracking methods. This study reports the near-real time monitoring of fine-scale (< 10 m) behaviour of sunfish. The study ...
