Steady-state and dynamic hygrothermal performance of rendered straw bale walls
Wheat straw, in the form of compacted bales, is increasingly used as thermal insulation in the external walls of buildings. Common practice is to use a render finish, applied directly to surface of the straw bales, to protect...
Photoanodes on titanium substrates
One-step deposition of photoelectrochemically active BiVO4 (monoclinic) from a polyethylene glycol (PEG300) precursor paint onto titanium substrates is demonstrated to lead to more complex multioxide phase films....
New optimisation methodology to uncover robust low energy designs that accounts for occupant behaviour or other unknowns
The use of software to aid in the design of buildings or to show compliance is now commonplace. This has led several authors to investigate the potential for using such software to automatically optimise a design, or to generate...

One-step electroless growth of nano-fibrous platinum catalyst from "paint-on" PtCl<sub>6</sub> <sup>2-</sup> solution in poly-(ethylene-glycol)
The electrochemically reducing nature of the poly-(ethylene-glycol) solvent (PEG200) is exploited in a one-step electroless deposition of nano-fibrous platinum electrocatalyst. K2PtCl6 is dissolved in...
Pyrazine- and Bipyrazine-modified Iron(II) Complexes for the Photocatalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide to Methanol

Too tired to focus on others? Reminders of money promote considerate responses in the face of depletion
Purpose: Research has found that depletion of personal energy makes people self-centered. Thoughts of money also make people self-centered. We propose that reminding depleted individuals of money would in fact make them less...

A New Reduced Form for Real-Time Identification of PV Panels Operating Under Arbitrary Conditions
In this work, an efficient solution based on the reducing forms approach is presented to extract the five parameters of the single-diode model of PV generators from their I-V curves. Thus, by reducing the number of the five...

Evaluation of Energy Price Liberalization in Electricity Industry
This study aims to evaluate the effects of price liberalization on energy consumption intensity, because price liberalization leads to improved productivity, energy consumption management, and consumption reform. Although the...
Altering the availability of healthier vs. less healthy items in UK hospital vending machines
BACKGROUND:Altering the availability of healthier or less-healthy products may increase healthier purchases, but evidence is currently limited. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of altering the...
Inhibition of sarcolemmal FAT/CD36 by sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate rapidly corrects metabolism and restores function in the diabetic heart following hypoxia/reoxygenation.
