Previous research has demonstred that microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) could significantly increase the energy storage density of solar thermal energy storage (TES) systems.Compared with traditional phase change materials (PCMs), MEPCMs have many 3 IN 1 CEDAR advantages since they can limit their exposure to the surrounding environ
Apparent recovery of fertilizer nitrogen
Attention is paid in the present paper to the conflicting information in the literature about the recovery of fertilizer nitrogen by crops.One reason for this inconsistency is suggested to be the fact that in several cases the difference in the nitrogen content of the crops receiving all the main nutrients and that of the unfertilized crops is 162m
What we can and cannot (yet) do with functional near infrared spectroscopy
Functional near Hose Nut infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a relatively new technique complimentary to EEG for the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).NIRS-based systems for detecting various cognitive and affective states such as mental and emotional stress have already been demonstrated in a range of adaptive human-computer interaction
Intrapreneurial Fit and Misfit: Enterprising Behavior, Preferred Organizational and Open Innovation Culture
In challenging times, the need for innovation is heightened and stems from employees who exhibit intrapreneurial characteristics.Not every corporate culture is a suitable environment for intrapreneurial behavior.This study examines the relationship between potential entrepreneurial behavior and preferred culture type.Through a principal component a
Understanding mammalian genetic systems: the challenge of phenotyping in the mouse.
Understanding mammalian genetic systems is predicated on the determination of the relationship between genetic variation and phenotype.Several international programmes are under way to deliver mutations in every gene in the mouse genome.The challenge for mouse Latigo geneticists is to develop approaches that will provide comprehensive phenotype dat
