Abstract: Abstract A quasi-steady state model has been developed to assess of the potential of variable flow strategies to improve the overall thermal efficiency of Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors. An adaption of the Duffie-Beckman method is used… read more here.

Abstract: Body temperature affects plants’ and animals’ performance, but temperature varies through time within an individual and through space among individuals. Theory developed here predicts that, for an individual, variation reduces performance and contracts the range… read more here.
