Thermal properties of smart microencapsulated paraffin/plaster composites for the thermal regulation of buildings by Karkri M.

“…Thermal characterization of smart plaster composites was performed using two different experimental techniques: thermal energy storage properties, such as latent heat and heat capacities, were investigated using a Transient Guarded Hot Plate Technique (TGHPT), whereas thermal conductivities and diffusivities were measured using a periodic temperature method. …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO2 reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee, Yoon

“…The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl− > Br− > I−). On the other hand, the larger the cation size is, the higher is the Eads (i.e., Li+ < K+ < Cs+) but the lower is the Wf (i.e., Cs+ < K+ < Li+). …”

Energy Demand Estimation and Forecasting in Qatar by Khalifa, Ahmed Ali

“…We close this set of methodological approaches by taking into account the use of structural time series methods, see Harvey (1989).Such an approach might be extended with the presence of stochastic cyclical and seasonal components and could represent an alternative approach to classical time series methods.Building on an ARDL specification with a latent trend, Dilaver and Hunt (2011a) provide a scenario analysis for Turkey industrial energy demand and Dilaver and Hunt (2011b) analyze scenarios for residential electricity demand in Turkey. …”
