Existence and uniqueness of solution for two one-phase Stefan problems with variable thermal coefficients
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-08)
One dimensional Stefan problems for a semi-infinite material with temperature dependent thermal coefficients are considered. Existence and uniqueness of solution are obtained imposing a Dirichlet, a Neumann or a Robin type ...
Fluctuating thermal environments and time-dependent effects on fruit fly egg-hatching performance
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-07)
Organismal performance in a changing environment is dependent on temporal patterns and duration of exposure to thermal variability. We experimentally assessed the time-dependent effects of thermal variability (i.e., patterns ...
Variable Thermal Comfort Index for Indoor Work Space in Office Buildings: A Study in Germany
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2016-09)
International standards state the thermal comfort requirements that office spaces must comply with. These are based on a model developed by Prof. Paul Ole Fanger of the Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy, Denmark. ...
Analytical solution and numerical approaches of the generalized Levèque equation to predict the thermal boundary layer
(USFQ PRESS, departamento editorial de la Universidad San Francisco de Quito USFQ, 2019)
Effect of salinity on locomotor performance and thermal extremes of metamorphic Andean Toads (Rhinella spinulosa) from Monte Desert, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-05)
Rhinella spinulosa is distributed from Peru to Argentina (from 1200 to 5000 m elevation), inhabiting arid mountain valleys of the Andes, characterized by salty soils. The variations in soil salinity, caused by high ...
Stefan problems for the diffusion-convection equation with temperature-dependent thermal coefficients
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-09)
Different one-phase Stefan problems for a semi-infinite slab are considered, involving a moving phase change material as well as temperature dependent thermal coefficients. Existence of at least one similarity solution is ...
Transgenerational and within-generation plasticity shape thermal performance curves
(Wiley, 2019-02)
Thermal performance curves (TPCs) compute the effects of temperature on the performance of ectotherms and are frequently used to predict the effect of environmental conditions and currently, climate change, on organismal ...
The Mutual Interaction between External Rossby Waves and Thermal Forcing: the Subpolar Regions
(American Meteorological Society, 2010-06)
The authors hypothesize a simple feedback mechanism between external Rossby waves and diabatic heating from convection. This mechanism could explain the large amplitude that external Rossby waves attain as they propagate ...
