With numerous endemic subspecies representing four of its five evolutionary lineages, Europe holds a large fraction Apis mellifera genetic diversity. This diversity and the natural distribution range have been altered by anthropogenic factors. The conservation this heritage relies on availability accurate tools for diagnosis. Based pool-sequence data from 2145 worker bees 22 populations sampled across Europe, we employed two highly discriminative approaches (PCA FST) to select most...
Proper design and performance prediction of solar energy systems requires accurate information on the availability radiation. The diffuse-to-total radiation correlation, originally developed by Liu Jordan, has been extensively used as technique provided excellent results, although it was latitude dependent not universally applicable. Thus, diffuse fraction correlations this type have few other authors for different location. This paper presents an analysis hourly a horizontal surface. Hourly...

This paper presents the methodology for calculation of an indoor environmental quality indicator residential buildings. The ‘Dwelling Environmental Quality Index’ has been developed with purpose assisting both households and property managers to identify potential problems environment whilst ensuring that is not compromised in favour energy saving. Based on combined effect three simple commonly measured parameters – air temperature, relative humidity CO 2 concentrations; index reflects a...
This article deals with the energy performance of eight new and existing museum buildings located around Europe. Various efficiency microclimate improvement measures have been adopted to reduce consumption improve comfort conditions. The investigation was implemented in two principal phases. During first phase, simulation studies were performed all evaluate proposed various design possibilities. for heating, cooling, lighting other electrical devices calculated without application techniques...
The understanding of energy-related occupant behaviour and its better reproduction in building energy analysis has recently become a primary field interest. combination computing ease the availability big streams high resolution performance data enhance ability to study this behaviour. In context, mining methods are increasingly employed. aim is propose methodology for characterization heating residential buildings. consists two multivariate statistical methods, namely Principal Component...
Continuous monitoring systems have been regarded as a very useful tool to provide continuous high-frequency measurements of many parameters. Here, we analyze time series air temperature measurements, recorded every 10 min during 2003 in Athens (Greece) by an online system for the urban environment. We propose set analysis techniques, where missing data are well respected and information concerning system’s dynamics is preserved. A power spectral density performed over scales spanning from...
The production by biological and photochemical mechanisms of short-lived Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the surface ocean is regulated environmental parameters nutrient abundance, hence climate change. These gases then enter atmosphere through air–sea interface contribute to pollution, affect cloud properties, radiative forcing precipitation. Despite improved understanding temporal spatial distribution marine trace biogenic origin their potential effects, further investigation...
Existing advanced and sophisticated building systems combined with emerging IT technologies facilitate the development of a range new Internet based energy environmental services. Driven mostly by deregulation market, utilities as well telecommunication companies build up test exemplars services, provided to occupants.
