Unified Total Site Heat Integration: Targeting, Optimisation and Network Design
… low grade heat in large-scale processing sites is still not fully utilised. This thesis presents methods to target, optimise and design more practical heat recovery systems for large industrial sites, i.e. Total Sites, and overcome technical limitations of current methods. Original …

Parametric Analysis and Life Cycle Cost Assessment for Optimizing PCM Application in Exterior Walls in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
… in SIPs. PCM application reduced the model total site energy by 12.9% to 13.7% with a thickness of 0.5–2.0 cm and significantly reduced the HVAC energy consumption by 37% to 39%. In this study, we developed LCCA models to assess the cost-effectiveness of PCM by establishing a price range per …

Effect of Allelic Variation in Rht Loci on Plant Height and Grain Yield of Soft Red Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
… at the Rht loci, was evaluated in five total site-years in Arkansas. Analysis of variance across locations showed that allelic variation at the Rht loci significantly affected grain yield, plant height, and yield components (p ≤ 0.05) with no Rht x location interaction. Overall, …

Life History of the Spectaclecase, Cumberlandia Monodonta Say, 1829 (Bivalvia, Unionoidea, Margaritiferidae)
… density and age structure were investigated at 8 sites. Sites were delimited by the presence of Cumberlandia and ranged from 480-1800 m². Quadrats were placed using an adaptive design, excavated, and searched visually. Approximately 5% of total site area was searched. Over 6,000 live specimens …

Estimating population parameters of early villages in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic central and southern Levant
… analysis of 15 villages/village phases, a site type classification system and constants for several variables are developed for systematic application of methodologies to reconstruct population parameters of a large database of central and southern Levantine PPN villages (n = 106). Based on …

Improving heat capture for power generation in coal gasification plants
… work models the steam pressure level in composite curves based on its saturation temperature alone. The present work examines the effect of including both sensible and latent heating of steam in the composite curve. It is shown that including sensible heating allows for better thermal matching …

Multi-Level process integration of heat pumps in a non-continuous processing site
… retrofit on non-continuous industrial processing sites. This method aims to address several gaps in current Heat Integration methodology through the novel amalgamation of several tools discussed in four main chapters: (1) A multi-level heat pump integration tool is developed that sequentially …

Woody Species Diversity, Forest and Site Productivity, Stumpage Value, and Carbon Sequestration of Forests on Mined Lands Reclaimed Prior to the Passage of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977
… and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) may not achieve site productivity levels required by the law. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many pre-law reforested mined sites are growing productive forests. The purpose of this study was to characterize these forests and the mine soils in which they are …

The critical seed-filling period duration is dependent on soybean planting date and cultivar maturity selection: implications for crop management
… Using small plot trials conducted at 12 site-years in Iowa, and in the northern half of Illinois in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 growing seasons, we examined the interaction between cultivar maturity selection and planting date more closely. Our objectives were to investigate how planting date …
