Heating degree day is an essential parameter for estimation of energy demand and consumption in buildings. In the case of hourly temperature data availability, it is more appropriate to use the hourly method to calculate ...

This work develops a methodology (using the degree-days concept and linear regression), to forecast the duration of phenological phases in crops. An experiment was conducted in the greenhouse with three cultivars of cowpea ...

The life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is one of the most widely used and validated methods to identify the optimum insulation thickness of the building envelope. This method depends on two parameters—heating and cooling ...

Pomacea canaliculate is a freshwater snail native to subtropical-temperate South America that has invaded several countries around the world. Temperature is probably one of the main limitations to the expansion of this and ...

Temperature affects the development, population dynamics, reproduction and population size of insects. Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero et Dellape (Heteroptera: Thaumastocoridae) is a eucalyptus pest. The objective of ...

This study analyses heating degree-days (HDDs) in Argentina during the period 1900–2008. Gridded temperature data provided by the University of Delaware were analysed to calculate monthly and annual cumulative HDDs. Mean, ...
