Numerical modeling of the impacts of high albedo materials on building energy savings by R.E.W.M.R.K Nisansala Ratnadiwakara

“…The impact of increasing solar reflectance from 0.4 to 0.8 for non insulated reinforced concrete is equivalent to the impact achieved by including 20~22 mm of insulation material with 0.03 W/mK thermal conductivity and it was further verified, increasing solar reflectance in both non-insulated and insulated roofs are more effective in reducing conduction heat gain compared to the double skin roof. The conduction heat gain contribution to the annual energy consumption is reduced in the range of 4 - 4.5 kWh/m2 due to the impact of increasing solar reflectance from 0.4 to 0.8 in a lower floor which has no effect from roof conduction. …”

Gender differences in perceptions of psoriatic arthritis disease impact, management, and physician interactions: results from a global patient survey by Eder, L, Richette, P, Coates, LC, Azevedo, VF, Cappelleri, JC, Johnson, EP, Hoang, M, Moser, J, Kessouri, M

“…Varying perceptions of disease severity between males and females were indicated by differences in symptoms leading to a diagnosis of PsA, and in symptoms reported despite treatment; more females than males reported joint tenderness, skin patches/plaques, and enthesitis. More females than males reported a major/moderate impact of PsA on their physical activity and emotional/mental well-being. …”

Modeling of plasma motion in a toroidal solenoid by Tu, Yuqiang.

“…Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc (FCVA) deposition technique has received extensive attention recently due to its unique feature: vacuum arc is generated at one end of a toroidal solenoid filter, in which those ions and electrons in the arc follow the force line of the magnetic field and pass through, while those neutral particles moving in straight lines are filtered away, and a "purified" plasma is obtained at the other end. …”
