A Comparison Between Spanish and Australian Building Energy Efficiency Codes. A Case StudyThe main aim of this study is to compare the requirements established by Spanish and Australian Building Codes in energy efficiency terms through a case study. First the BCA (Building Code of AustraliMarta ...
The above is a simplified explanation of what is needed for reliable grid operation. Proponents of renewable energy do not want to discuss concerns of this sort, particularly the costs involved. When forced to address these issues, they rely on magical thinking, advocating for technologies that ei...

Fig. 6: Comparison of crustal structures between our model and AuSREM5. Average shear velocities of the upper, middle, and lower crust in a–c our model and d–f AuSREM. g–i The corresponding difference between the two models. The black dashed lines in a and d indicate velocity contour...
You can see the red line (a simple total monthly patronage comparison) is again often the biggest outlier, which is what happens when you don’t control for calendar effects. I mentioned at the start of my last post that the raw monthly totals suggested a misleadingly large 6.4% drop in...
(pressures less than 20 hPa) which is above the altitude of the maximum temperature perturbation derived from the model. To enable a fair comparison, the model temperature data has been vertically weighted in the same way as the RSS data ("M6. Stratospheric Temperature Anomaly Data" section)....
While prescribed burning is a common strategy used to reduce bushfire risk, mechanical thinning has not been as widely applied in Australia’s temperate forests in comparison with the USA and Europe. In this study we report results from a prescribed burning and mechanical thinning experiment in a...
Termites and their microbial gut symbionts are major recyclers of lignocellulosic biomass. This important symbiosis is obligate but relatively open and more complex in comparison to other well-known insect symbioses such as the strict vertical transmissi
To allow direct comparison among study sites, the C storage per unit area (cumulative stocks, mass C m−2) was standardized to 1 m-thick deposits (i.e., length of the soil cores sampled). When necessary, we inferred C stocks below the limits of the reported data to 1 m, extrapol...
