A Simplified LCA Tool for Solar Heating and Cooling Systems
2016
Abstract This paper presents a user-friendly Life Cycle Assessment tool, which aims to support researchers, designers and decision-makers in evaluating the life cycle energy and environmental advantages related to the use of solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems in substitution of conventional ones, considering specific climatic conditions and building loads. The tool was developed within the Task 48 “Quality Assurance & Support Measures for Solar Cooling Systems”, promoted by the International Energy Agency in the framework of the SHC Programme.
Prevalence and associations of injury and illness among high school elite sport-students in the south of Norway
2018
Master's thesis Sports Science ME517 - University of Agder 2018 Introduction Youth participating in sports are often associated with a healthy lifestyle, however illness and injuries are frequently reported in sports. The aims for this master thesis were; (1) to examine the prevalence of sport injuries and illnesses among elite sport students at high school with regard to sport group and (2) to examine anthropometry, bone health, performance variables, energy availability and sleep time with associations to sport injuries and illness prevalence in the same sample. Methods Thirty-six high school elite sport students, endurance athletes (n=24) and ball game athletes (n=12) [age: 16.3±0.2 year…
Classification of Solutions to the Minimum Energy Problem in One Dimensional Sensor Networks
2016
We classify of the minimum energy problem in one dimensional wireless sensor networks for the data transmission cost matrix which is a power function of the distance between transmitter and receiver with any real exponent. We show, how these solutions can be utilized to solve the minimum energy problem for the data transmission cost matrix which is a linear combination of two power functions. We define the minimum energy problem in terms of the sensors signal power, transmission time and capacities of transmission channels. We prove, that for the point-to-point data transmission method utilized by the sensors in the physical layer, when the transmitter adjust the power of its radio signal t…
Biological responses of Rhynchophorous ferrugineus to Steirnenema carpocapase: an example of a model system
2011
Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) known as the Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is becoming more and more of a problem in Italy, and especially in Sicily, where it is well adapted. The infestations are mainly in the urban areas, and for that reason, chemical control is not advisable. Data from literature show that entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) control RPW quite successfully in the field. However, results coming from the laboratories are often in contrast with each other and no data are available on precise doses. In this context we studied the Median Lethal Dose (DL50) and the Median Lethal Time (TL50) of young and older larvae and also of adults. The doses for the adults were t…

Effetti del pascolamento della sulla e/o della loiessa per 8 o 24 ore sul comportamento alimentare e sulla produzione lattiero-casearia di pecore Com…

This experiment aimed to examine the effects of the utilization of monocultures of ryegrass (R), sulla (S) or both of them (RS), and the prolongation of daily grazing from 8 h (8:00-16:00) to 24 h, evaluating behaviour, selectivity, intake and milk and cheese production of ewes at pasture. The experiment involved 42 Comisana ewes averaging 146±55 days in milk, divided into 6 homogeneous groups which, since 19th April for 42 days, continuously grazed under a stocking rate of 34 ewes/ha. Ewes involving in eating activity were higher in R and for 24-h grazing, in relation to lower intake rate. RS ewes reduced eating time and increased lying activity. During daytime, the eating gradually decrea…
Positive L1 observer design for positive Switched systems
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00034-013-9737-6 This paper investigates the problem of L1 observer design for positive switched systems. Firstly, a new kind of positive L1 observer is proposed for positive switched linear delay-free systems with observable and unobservable subsystems. Based on the average dwell time approach, a sufficient condition is proposed to ensure the existence of the positive L1 observer. Under the condition obtained, the estimated error converges to zero exponentially, and the L1 -gain from the disturbance input to the estimated error is less t…
Jauna stereoredzes testa izstrāde krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes novērtēšanai
2017
Darbs uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 49 lappusēm. Tas satur 47 attēlus, 3 tabulas un atsauces uz 27 literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija izstrādāt jaunu datorizētu stereoredzes testu krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes novērtēšanai. Lokālās un globālās stereoredzes sliekšņi tika novērtēti pielietojot psihofizikālo trepju metodi. Pētījuma dalībnieku uzdevums bija atpazīt telpiskus attēlus. Stimuliem tika izvēlēti dažādi ekspozīcijas laiki – 5 sekundes (ilgais laiks), 550 ms un 250 ms (īsie laiki). Stereoredzes novērtēšanai papildus tika pielietoti tradicionālie stereotesti – TNO, Titmus tests. Pētījumā piedalījās 37 dalībnieki vecumā no 16 līdz 42 gadiem. Rezultāti tika salīdzināti ņemot vēr…
Krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes stereoslieksnis dažādos vecumos
2020
Maģistra darbs uzrakstīts uz 75 lappusēm, satur 40 attēlus, 10 tabulas un darbā ir atsauces uz 100 literatūras avotiem. Maģistra darba mērķis bija novērtēt krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes atšķirības dažāda vecuma cilvēkiem. Pētījuma dalībnieki tika iedalīti četrās vecuma grupās. Pētījumā piedalījās 61 dalībnieks (vecumā no 19 līdz 78 gadiem). Pētījuma dalībniekiem nebija acu slimības, redzes asums bija vismaz 0,0 vai labāks (LogMAR sistēmā). Stereoredzes noteikšanai tika izmantots digitālais izliedēto punktu globālā principa stereotests, kopā ar pakāpjveida psihofizikālo metodi. Pētījums parādīja, ka nekrustotās disparitātes stimulu sliekšņi vienmēr bija augstāki, salīdzinot ar krusto…
