Biomass as an energy source for three-stone cookfires is commonly used for cooking and heating rural and isolated households in developing countries; there
Method of thermally and selectively separating water and or solvents from solids under vacuum utilizing radiant heatA process for selectively dehydrating organic matter, and at the same time eliminating insects, larvae and insect eggs that are carried by the organic matter is provided. This process ...
The report indicates that even if global warming is limited to 1.5 °C, there will be a rise in heat waves with prolonged warm seasons, and shorter cold seasons. Furthermore, these climatic events are expected to intensify significantly with a warming of 2 °C. Following COP26 - The ...
(Figure 1). Solar radiation passes largely unhindered through the atmosphere, heating the Earth's surface. In turn, energy is re-emitted as infrared, much of which is absorbed by CO2and water vapour in the atmosphere, which thus acts as a blanket surrounding the Earth. Without this natural ...
CLIMATE concerns look surreal when you examine modern assumptions (“the settled science”) on the basis of first principles like conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer, specific heat (where water is king) and density. To me, they paint a picture 180° contrary to the greenho...
The Thunderstorm World (TW) model is designed to be as simple as possible while still accounting for convective heat transfer, cloud formation, radiant heat transfer, and variations in surface temperature. To this end, the TW model assumes: ...
However, notable spatial-temporal changes, especially with regard to land surface temperature (LST), were observed during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown period, when a comparatively cooler climate was experienced in many urban centers. Assessment of LST, crucial in many heat-balance, land use, ...
Afshari, Nikolopoulou, and Martin [28] estimated that 57.5% of the energy utilized by all buildings in the UAE is used by the chillers. Due to increased pollution, a greater urban heat island, and increased temperatures outside, the urban fabric of the city becomes less comfortable due to ...

Inside, she takes me upstairs to her “relaxation room” – a bedroom with no furniture except a double futon. “It will be quiet in here,” she says. Aoyama’s first task with most of her clients is encouraging them “to stopapologisingfor their own physical existence”. ...
