Alternative for Summer Use of Solar Air Heaters in Existing Buildings
Among solar thermal technologies for indoor heating, solar air heaters (SAH) are appealing for implementation on existing buildings due to their simplicity, fewer risks related to the working fluid, and possible independence from the building structure.However, existing research work mainly focuses on winter use and still fails in providing effecti
Enhancing Concurrent Emergency Response: Joint Scheduling of Emergency Vehicles on Freeways with Tailored Heuristic
Scheduling decisions for concurrent emergency response (CER) across multiple disaster sites presents numerous difficulties.The main challenge is to minimize human casualties while taking into account the rationality of resource allocation across different disaster sites.This paper establishes a joint scheduling model for emergency vehicles on freew
An exploratory review of resiliency assessments after brain injury.
BackgroundPeople with brain injury can have lower resiliency compared to the general public.Yet, resiliency facilitates positive processes to negotiate adversity after brain injury.Therefore, measuring resiliency after a brain injury is important.ObjectiveThe review aimed to (1) identify self-report resiliency outcome measures for use with people a
