For example, biomechanical energy harvesters generate electrical power from a person’s motion and can serve as a battery alternative for low-power devices [41–43]. Vibration-based energy harvesting techniques face difficulties with the resonant frequency of the environment and output power [44]. ...
Energy poverty is an emerging issue towards global affairs. Currently, the development of energy-related policies is becoming essential, with regard to new societies, social inclusion and social rights. In this paper, we examine the dynamic patterns of energy poverty among 27 EU member states betwe...
the energy transition on both global and regional scales started to take the connotation of urgency. Decarbonisation is a complex and long-term development process where a significant role belongs to renewable energy sources (RES), making them one of the main pillars of ...
In particular, aggregate energy demand stems from the demand of an economy for energy services, such as heating, cooling, lighting, motion, etc. In that context, energy along with labour and capital can be considered as inputs for the production of a desired level of energy services. From ...
The sample size of most studies varied between 50 and 300 participants. Study participants were predominantly university students or adults in their 20–30s (n = 39). Two studies were conducted in young children aged between 3 and 7 years. Four studies recruited females only, the remaining ...
Participants were asked to wear an accelerometer (motion)-based monitor (Actiwatch Spectrum Plus; Philips) and to press a built-in event marker button when they went to bed to sleep each night and when they got out of bed each morning. Sleep was automatically scored (Actiware, version 6.0....
Prior literature is substantive in highlighting the nexus between pollutant and socio-economic predictors; however, the role of human interaction has not been sufficiently explored. Thus, the present study examines the validity of the environmental Kuzne
Owing to the simple structure design, the harmonic resonator-based TENG is only capable of harvesting vibration energy from a single direction. However, vibrations in our living environments generally exhibit multiple motion directions. In this regard, a three-dimensional triboelectric nanogenerator (3D-...
Physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of global mortality. Health organizations have requested a tool to objectively measure physical activity. Respirometry and doubly labeled water accurately estimate energy expenditure, but are infeasible for
Energy associated with microwaves is lower than the energy of Brownian motion which is not strong enough to even break chemical bonds as such microwaves cannot induce chemical reactions. The influence of microwave energy on chemical or biochemical reactions is both thermal and non-thermal. The microw...
