The term Anthropocene, proposed and increasingly employed to denote the current interval of anthropogenic global environmental change, may be discussed on stratigraphic grounds.A case can made for its consideration as a formal epoch in that, since start Industrial Revolution, Earth has endured changes sufficient leave signature distinct from that Holocene or previous Pleistocene interglacial phases, encompassing novel biotic, sedimentary, geochemical change.These changes, although likely...
Abstract Procedures used to define an international chronostratigraphic stage boundary and locate ratify a Global Boundary Stratotype Section Point (GSSP) are outlined. A majority of current GSSPs use biostratigraphic data as primary markers with no reference any physico-chemical markers, despite the International Subcommission on Stratigraphic Classification (ISSC) suggestion that such should be included if possible. It is argued definitions will not produce high-precision Phanerozoic time...
The industrial sector accounts for 17% of end-use energy in the United Kingdom, and 54% globally. Therefore, there is substantial scope to accurately simulate efficiently assess potential retrofit options buildings lower end use energy. Due potentially years facility renovation expansion Building Energy Modelling, also called Simulation, applied poses a complex challenge; but it an important opportunity reducing global demand especially considering increase readily available computational...

This paper summarises Virtual Power Plant (VPP) development within the European Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) project Intelligent URBAn eNergy tool (iURBAN).In context of this work VPP is considered as a high level design based upon load aggregation near real-time metered energy demand and generation data at building/apartment levels.Selected can be aggregated up to city level, or user defined selected levels such district, neighbourhood, low voltage electricity network, district heating...
Exergy analysis has widely been used to assess resource consumption, and identify opportunities for improvement within manufacturing. The main advantages of this method are its ability account energy quality consumption. However, application in industrial practice is limited, which may be due the lack consistent practice. Current management standard, that facilitate procedures do not consider aspects flows. An exergy based standards proposed paper would take into aspects, while facilitating...
Purpose – This paper reports on the experimentation of an integrated manufacturing and building model to improve energy efficiency. Traditionally, building-facilities engineers work independently, with their own performance objectives, methods software support. However, progresses in resource reduction, advances have become more challenging. Further opportunities for efficiency require expansion scope across functional boundaries facility, utility assets. Design/methodology/approach The...
The industrial sector accounts for 17% of end-use energy in the UK, and 54% globally. Therefore, there is substantial scope simulating assessing potential retrofit options buildings. Building Energy Modelling (BEM) applied to buildings poses a complex but important opportunity reducing global demand, due years renovation expansion. Large make modelling existing geometry BEM difficult time consuming. This paper presents solution quickly capturing processing as-built factory be utilized BEM....
The establishment of chronostratigraphic units such as geological Systems and Series depends upon an ability to equate succession in rock strata with the passage time, a pervasive Law Superposition. These assumptions hold true at gross scale. But, fine scales stratigraphic resolution, they commonly break down. Thus, bioturbation Phanerozoic marine deposits typically homogenizes sedimentary packages spanning millennia, affecting biostratigraphic, isotopic paleomagnetic signals, post-burial...
Abstract Adsorption elution extracts of fire debris are separated on solid phase extraction columns to divide the sample into aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions. The fractions analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) compared with standard accelerants similarly treated.
Abstract Measures of entropy and efficiency were calculated for four simple organizational structures. Based on these results, it was speculated that configuration can play a role in function since information flow the concomitant order disorder are affected.
Abstract A close scrutiny of core data from a producing carbonate field resolved an apparent difference between permeability evident plug analysis and testing wells in the field. This was attributed to bias inherent collection, particularly as samping techniques avoided most permeable features. Instead invoking pervasive fracture network static geological model, which might compromise planned water injection campaign, it is now that mismatch can be satisfactorily modeled with horizontal...
