We obtain and study new Φ-entropy inequalities for diffusion semigroups, with Poincaré or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities as particular cases. From this study we derive the asymptotic behaviour of a large class of linear Fokker-Plank type equations under simple conditions, widely extending previous results. Nonlinear diffusion equations are also studied by means of these inequalities. The Γ2 c...

Energy consumption in commercial and educational buildings is impacted by group activities such as meetings, workshops, classes and exams, and can be reduced by scheduling these activities to take place at times and locations that are favorable from an energy standpoint. This paper improves on the effectiveness of energy-aware room-booking and occupancy scheduling approaches, by allowing the sc...

In this paper, several equations were employed to estimate global solar radiation from sunshine hours for a meteorological station in Nigde, Turkey, using only the relative duration of sunshine. These equations included the original Angstrom-Prescott linear regression and modified functions (quadratic, logarithmic and exponential functions). Estimated values were compared with measured values i...

We explore cosmological perturbations in a modified Gauss-Bonnet f(G) gravity, using 1+3 covariant formalism. In such formalism, we define gradient variables to get perturbed linear evolution equations. transform these equations into ordinary differential spherical harmonic decomposition method. The obtained are time-dependent and then transformed redshift dependent. After transformations, anal...
