25 In ground-nesting birds egg colour and appearance may have evolved due to opposite 26 selection pressures. Pigmentation and spottiness make the eggs darker and have been 27 suggested to improve camouflage. However darker and more spotted eggs may reach 28 higher temperatures when not attended by adults and receiving direct sunlight, which 29 may be lethal for embryos. Some authors suggested ...

We propose an innovative methodology to quantify the dependence of grain growth with respect current density during flash sintering zirconia (3YSZ) (field set under a nominal limit 150 mA mm−2. This was achieved by using notch (0.5 mm deep and 1.5 wide) located in middle dog-bone specimen, allowing uneven distribution (ranging from 3 670 mm−2) while maintaining fairly homogeneous temperature (1...

This study compares the overheating risk of eight typical Danish residential buildings for today and future climate scenarios. The includes four single-family multi-family houses, various renovation strategies, two occupancy loads. Building performance simulation is employed to conduct 3012 simulations (using IDA-ICE), comparison potential conducted using Indoor Overheating Degree (IOD). Result...

Global warming is resulting in higher summer indoor temperatures the severe cold region and of China, this affecting thermal comfort. Local building design codes consider these regions as cool summer, do not phenomenon overheating or propose countermeasures. This paper studied possibility residential buildings areas. It suggested alleviating using external horizontal shading, discussed how to i...

A condition of half normal voltage imposed on a refrigerator compressor will result in overheating of the motor if the ~ondition persists for an extended time. The line current and heating of the compressor shell are similar to the conditions which exist under peak loading. A thermal overload which allows compressor operation under peak conditions and still prevents overheating when half normal...
