Thermal Windows Can't Be Closed

Thermal windows and heat exchange

Endothermic animals, such as birds and mammals, regulate their body temperature balancing the amount of heat metabolically produced and that exchanged with the environment. Thus, whenever ambient temperature rises and/or metabolic heat production increases (such as during exercise), adjustments to promote heat dissipation are activated to defend body temperature. One of such adjustments modulat...

Negotiating Closed Doors and Windows of Opportunity

This paper examines land tenure in informal urban settlements in India from a gender perspective through field research conducted in Ahmedabad in collaboration with the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA). The author describes the formal and informal tenure arrangements that were in place in these settlements and analyses their implications for women. She proceeds to raise key issues that ...

Thermal Stresses in Double-Glazed Windows

Signi cant Lexical Relationships

We describe a test that can be used to accurately assess the significance of a population model from a data sample using freely available software. We apply this test to the study of lexical relationships and demonstrate that the results obtained using this test are both theoretically more reliable and diierent from the results obtained using previous approaches.

Corrections Page 17, Table 6: The in situ U-value from Lauriston Place for single glazing with secondary glazing has actually been 1.6 W/m 2 K instead of 2.3 W/m 2 K. Clarifications The U-values in this report are measured at the centre of the glass pane, and are not whole-window U-values; except for the U-value measured by the National Physical Laboratory, refer to Appendix 1, which is a whole...
