Behrang Hamadani
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in measurements of photovoltaic solar cells under ambient artificial lighting such as light emitting diode (LED) or fluorescent light sources. Certain classes of solar cells are considered very good

Characterization of Long-Term Sub-Hourly Thermal Comfort Performance Data

November 1, 2020
Author(s)
Hyojin Kim, Lisa Ng, Brian P. Dougherty, William V. Payne
Current thermal comfort standards do not provide guidelines on how to graphically characterize and benchmark long-term, sub-hourly, thermal comfort. In an effort to address this void, several statistical characterizations and advanced visualization methods

Crystal Chemistry, X-ray Diffraction Reference Patterns, and Band Gap Studies for (BaxSr1-x)2CoWO6 (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9)
