This study focuses on the impact of school building design factors on winter extra energy consumption which mainly includes space heating, water heating and other appliances related to winter indoor thermal conditions. A number of Auckland schools were randomly selected for the study which introduces a method of using real monthly energy consumption data for a year to calculate winter extra ene...

Academic researchers and practitioners have proposed various stock-screening models that always contain more than one stock selecting rule and corresponding parameters. However, the criteria in traditional screening models employ crisp norms, which are unreasonable in reality. This paper proposes the fuzzy stock-screening model to select stocks in the portfolio. The screening rules consist of t...

We show that a smooth, small enough Cauchy datum launches a unique classical solution of the relativistic Vlasov-Darwin (RVD) system globally in time. A similar result is claimed in [15] following the work in [13]. Our proof does not require estimates derived from the conservation of the total energy, nor those previously given on the transverse component of the electric field. These estimates ...

reducible to nor explicable in terms of representational states or content.1 In particular, advocates of non-representational views of perception maintain that the phenomenal character of veridical perception—broadly, “what it is like” (Nagel 1974) for the subject to undergo the relevant experience—is explained by the obtaining of a non-representational psychological relation to external mind-i...
