A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF ENERGY AND DAYLIGHTING IMPACT OF WINDOW SHADING SYSTEMS AND CONTROL STRATEGIES ON COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN THE UNITED STATES

Commercial buildings consume approximately 1.9 EJ of energy in the United States, 50% of which is for heating, cooling, and lighting applications.It is estimated that windows contribute up to 34% of the energy used for heating and cooling.However, window retrofits are not often undertaken to increase energy efficiency because of the high cost and d

To conserve coastal foundation species, it is essential to understand patterns of distribution and abundance and how they change over time.We synthesized oyster distribution data across the west coast of North America to develop conservation strategies for the native Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida), and to characterize populations of the non-native

In order to accurately study the temperature field distribution during the long-term sliding friction process of the limited slip clutch, Fluent software is used to solve the flow field velocity distribution of the friction pair under different working conditions to obtain the average convective heat transfer coefficient and calculate the cooling p

We theoretically demonstrate a plasmonic waveguide that allows easy control of the fano profile.The proposed structure is analyzed by the coupled-mode theory and demonstrated by the finite-element method.Due to the interaction of Vacuum Parts the local discrete state and the continuous spectrum caused by the side-coupled cavity and the baffle, resp

Feeding strategy and predation of the Bartz owl (Tyto alba) and the Burrowing owl (Speotyto cunicularia) on rodent.species, size, and sex was Vacuum Parts studied by examining consumption and abundance of prey categories in agrosystems of Central Argentina.The Bartz owl foraged in borders of cultivated fields more than did the Burrowing owl.Both ow
