IMPACT OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND DEVELOPMENT ON BUILDINGS' ENERGY CONSUMPTION
(2013)
The urban heat island (UHI) is one of the major problems that urban areas are experiencing worldwide, as it is related to various environmental and health effects. One of them is its direct impact on buildings energy demand. ...
Development of models to assess potential sheep heat-stress during heat waves
(2013)
It is well documented that heat-stress burdens sheep welfare and productivity. It is expected that peak heat-stress levels are observed when high temperatures prevail, i.e. during heat waves. However, continuous measurements ...
Computational fluid dynamics applications to improve crop production systems
(2013)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical analysis and simulation tools of fluid flow processes have emerged from the development stage and become nowadays a robust design tool. It is widely used to study various ...
Numerical and experimental assessment of the airflow field and ventilation rates in a naturally ventilated free cubical cattle house with large openings
(2013)
An efficient natural ventilation system in dairy cattle buildings is essential both for animal welfare and for environmental issues since the naturally ventilated livestock buildings are a major source of greenhouse gas ...
Relationships between Reflectance and Water Status in a Greenhouse Rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.) Cultivation
(2013)
Crop water status is an important parameter for plant growth and yield performance in greenhouses, and thus early detection of water stress is essential for efficient crop management. Therefore, the aim of this work was ...
