A Simple Method of Determining the Influence of the Overhang on Window Solar Gains
This paper presents a simple tool (in the form of nomograms) for the preliminary design of solar gains of a window shaded with a horizontal overhang. The nomograms were based on the results obtained from the previously published, experimentally validated anisotropic model of shaded window solar gains and developed using the least squares method. The nomograms were verified using the Design Buil...
متن کاملHealth gains from solar water disinfection (SODIS): evaluation of a water quality intervention in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
In developing countries, the burden of diarrhoea is still enormous. One way to reduce transmission of pathogens is by water quality interventions. Solar water disinfection (SODIS) is a low-cost and simple method to improve drinking water quality on household level. This paper evaluates the implementation of SODIS in slum areas of Yaoundé, Cameroon. Promoters trained 2,911 households in the use ...
متن کاملMeasuring and accounting for solar gains in steady state whole building heat loss measurements
To ensure good thermal performance is delivered consistently and at scale, there is a need to measure and understand the asbuilt heat loss of dwellings. Co-heating is a steady state, linear regression method, used to measure whole building heat transfer coefficients. This paper assesses the uncertainties in such outdoor, in situ, measurements due to the presence and treatment of solar gains. Un...
متن کاملGeneration gains
Humans are well used to appreciating the beauty of flowers, and breeding them to heighten their attractions but we remain largely ignorant of their seeds, something that can also be of stunning beauty, although often on an microscopic scale. A new book, Seeds: Time Capsules of Life, hopes to help redress this perception and raise awareness of conservation issues at a time of unprecedented press...
متن کاملDevelopmental Gains in Visuospatial Memory Predict Gains in Mathematics Achievement
Visuospatial competencies are related to performance in mathematical domains in adulthood, but are not consistently related to mathematics achievement in children. We confirmed the latter for first graders and demonstrated that children who show above average first-to-fifth grade gains in visuospatial memory have an advantage over other children in mathematics. The study involved the assessment...
