Human thermal comfort: an irreversibility-based approach emulating empirical clothed-body correlations and the conceptual energy balance equation
(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia e Ciências Mecânicas - ABCM, 2012)
Exergetic analysis can provide useful information as it enables the identification of irreversible phenomena bringing about entropy generation and, therefore, exergy losses (also referred to as irreversibilities). As far ...
Empirical equations for drinking water intake prediction of growing lambs: Meta-analysis
(2021-10-01)
A meta-analysis was conducted to develop and evaluate new empirical predictive models for drinking water intake (DWI) of growing lambs. A large dataset containing 213 experimental diets from 47 experiments published in 44 ...
Empirical stomatal conductance models reveal that the isohydric behavior of an Acacia caven Mediterranean Savannah scales from leaf to ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2015)
Canopy conductance (g(c)) is the main controller of plant-atmospheric interaction and a key element in understanding how plants cope with drought. Empirical g(c) models provide a good inference as to how environmental ...
Empirical site classification of CSN network using strong-motion records
(Seismological Society of America, 2018)
The National Seismological Center of the University of Chile (CSN, Centro Sismologico Nacional) has been operating more than 400 seismic stations throughout the country. The data collected from this network, from March ...
Assessing misspecified asset pricing models with empirical likelihood estimators
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2012-10)
Hansen and Jagannathan (1997) compare misspecified asset pricing models based on least-square projections on a family of admissible stochastic discount factors. We extend their fundamental contribution by considering Minimum ...
Evaluation of three semi-empirical approaches to estimate the net radiation over a drip-irrigated olive orchard
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, 2015)
The use of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) models requires an appropriate parameterization of the available energy, where the net radiation (R-n) is the most important component. Thus, a study was carried out to calibrate ...
A brief discussion on (pure mode I) fatigue crack growth rate data in 5HS weave fabric composites: Evaluation of empirical relations
(2016-03-01)
A major concern in laminated composites for structural applications has been crack nucleation between plies and its propagation through the interface. A better comprehension of stable crack propagation may lead to more ...
