Comparing indoor performances of a building equipped with four different roof configurations in 65 Italian sites
2020
Abstract—Despite the increasing concern of institutions and technical organizations toward the improvement of the building energy (and, therefore, environmental) efficiency, the main goal of technicians should be also devoted toward the levels of internal thermal comfort that buildings are able to realize. As that, the relationships between energy performances and comfort conditions provided by the enclosures are of paramount importance in guiding designers in their work. In this paper, the influence of diverse roof construction typologies on energy and indoor performance of buildings has been investigated, in different Italian sites during heating and cooling seasons. In addition, it must …
Debating Sound Money in Early Modern Europe: From Dualist to Metallic Monetary Systems
2019
International audience; In this paper, we present the monetary debates in Europe from the XVIth to the XVIIIth centuries from the viewpoint of the problem of good and sound money. The framework of the paper is built on a typology of monetary systems, by which a dualist system is distinguished from a metallic one. Under the dualist system, the value in units of account of the specie in circulation was defined by monetary proclamations (Einaudi locates this era from Charlemagne to the French Revolution). Metallist proponents aimed at preventing any kind of manipulations with a radical transformation of the system of payment, which gave birth to a metallic monetary system from the very end of …
PV modules with variable ideality factors
2012
The classical single-exponential I–V curve model for crystalline-Si PV devices assumes a constant ideality factor. The model is widely applied in e.g. modeling the power output of PV systems at different irradiances and temperatures, and also in calculating the Equivalent Cell Temperature (ECT) from the open-circuit voltage. The present paper presents results from several crystalline-Si (c-Si) module types suggesting that the ideality factor may change with irradiance. The possible implications of such variability are discussed, in particular the need for a new ECT calculation procedure as well as for revision of some PV performance models.
Higher education and the development of competencies for innovation in the workplace
2012
PurposeThis paper aims to analyze the production function nexus between higher education practice and the development of innovation‐related competencies by university graduates in Spain. The research hypothesis is the presence of statistically significant relationships between the development of innovational competencies and the modes of teaching and learning used in higher education practice.Design/methodology/approachThe relationships are modeled through a set of stochastic frontier and variance component equations with the development of each competency as the dependent variable. The main explanatory variables capture the prevalence of diverse teaching/learning modes and the behavior of …
IFRS-tilinpäätösraportoinnin erot Suomen ja Venäjän välillä
2017
Tutkimuksessa selvitetään, eroavatko suomalaisten ja venäläisten pörssilistattujen yhtiöiden IFRS-tilinpäätökset toisistaan. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tunnistaa eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä suomalaisessa ja venäläisessä IFRS-tilinpäätösraportoinnissa näkyvien valintojen (eng. overt options) suhteen. Tutkimuksen aineisto muodostuu kahdenkymmenen Helsingin ja Moskovan pörssiin listattujen blue chip -yhtiöiden IFRS-standardien mukaan laadituista tilikauden 2016 tilinpäätöksistä. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan kvantitatiivinen vertaileva tutkimus ja aineistoa analysoidaan ristiintaulukossa khiin neliö -riippumattomuustestillä. Tutkimustuloksista ilmenee, etteivät suomalaiset ja venäläiset IFRS-tilinpää…
Apparent and Real Distribution in GPC (Experiments with PMMA Samples)
1971
Abstract Molecular weight distribution curves obtained by GPC are broadened if concentration and flow rate are fixed in the usual range. Therefore, the apparent nonuniformity U app of the samples is larger than the real non-uniformity U = (Mw/Mn) −1. For a number of fractionated and unfractionated samples of polymethyl methacrylate we determined M n and M w by osmotic, light-scattering, and viscosity measurements. Thus, the real value of U can be compared to U app obtained by GPC at different concentrations and flow rates, υ. The excess nonuniformity U exc is evaluated as function of concentration c, polydispersity, molecular weight, and flow rate. For c = 0 and υ = 0, U exc is not far from…
Unveiling the boost in the sandwich priming technique.
2021
The masked priming technique (which compares #####-house-HOUSE vs. #####-fight-HOUSE) is the gold-standard tool to examine the initial moments of word processing. Lupker and Davis showed that adding a pre-prime identical to the target produced greater priming effects in the sandwich technique (which compares #####-HOUSE-house-HOUSE vs #####-HOUSE-fight-HOUSE). While there is consensus that the sandwich technique magnifies the size of priming effects relative to the standard procedure, the mechanisms underlying this boost are not well understood (i.e., does it reflect quantitative or qualitative changes?). To fully characterise the sandwich technique, we compared the sandwich and standard t…
Pharmacokinetics of the cannabinoid receptor ligand [18 F]MK-9470 in the rat brain - Evaluation of models using microPET
2018
PURPOSE The positron emission tomography ligand [18 F]MK-9470 is an inverse agonist that binds reversibly and with high affinity to the cannabinoid type 1 receptor. Due to its slow brain kinetics, care is required in the definition of its dissociation rates from the receptor. The goal of this study was to investigate pharmacokinetic analysis methods using an arterial input function. METHODS Five Sprague-Dawley rats received injections of 13 to 25 MBq of [18 F]MK-9470 and were scanned over a period of 90 min. Arterial blood samples were collected throughout the scan. Data were analyzed using four different compartmental models: a reversible one-tissue model, reversible two tissue models with…
Market Determinants of Voluntary Disclosure of Macroeconomic Effects on Corporate Performance
2012
The macroeconomic environment is an important determinant of firm performance. Nevertheless, many firms are simplistic in the approach they use to identify, analyze and create strategies for managing the vital relationship between intrinsic competitiveness and macroeconomic fluctuations. Few firms disclose this information to outside stakeholders, which means they are prevented from understanding the intrinsic performance. We analyze the effects of the implementation/development of IFRS/IAS 1 on voluntary macroeconomic information disclosure with a focus on information content and market determinants. We base our analysis on a sample of the 100 largest public European firms in the period 20…
