  1. 6. NOUR - Daylighting and thermal effects of windows in desert houses

    Författare :Djamel Ouahrani; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal simulation; Solar aspects; Housing architecture; Ghardaia; Desert; Daylighting simulation; Daylighting; Data collecting; Data analysis; Culture; Climate adaption; Algeria; Architecture; Traditional architecture; Windows; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : This study is on a combined effect of window, the daylighting and the thermal effects, in desert houses. It is comprised of two complementary studies. In the introduction a historical review on the development of use daylight has been carried out in order to place the case study in a historical perspective. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Passing the open windows : A quantitative and qualitative approach to immediate military balance and escalation of protracted conflicts

    Författare :Björn Holmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Peace and conflict research; Window of opportunity; realism; balance of power; rational choice; organizationtheory; learning; Freds- och konfliktforskning; Peace and conflict research; Freds- och konfliktforskning; Peace and Conflict Research; freds- och konfliktforskning;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation has a dual point of departure: first, the widely known concept of window of opportunity and its application in the study of international relations (IR) and, second, the notion among modern classical realists that states maximize their power and, hence, that windows of opportunity should increase the probability of escalation to war or escalation of a war.The focus is primarily on the effects of rapid power shifts in dyads of non-great powers experiencing protracted conflict.

  4. 8. Components of smart windows : Investigations of electrochromic films, transparent counter electrodes and sputtering techniques

    Författare :Lisen Kullman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Solid State Physics; fasta tillståndets fysik;

    Sammanfattning : In smart windows, the transmittance of visible and near infrared radiation can be reversibly and persistently modulatcd by an applied voltage pulse (~2 V). The micrometer-thick multi-layer structure contains two electrodes capable of charge insertion. One of these electrodes must be electrochromic; usually it consists of tungsten oxide. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Thermochromic VO2-based materials for smart windows : Progress towards applications in buildings

    Författare :Yuxia Ji; Granqvist Claes G.; Niklasson Gunnar A.; Lars Österlund; Dimitra Vernardou; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Thermochromic; Vanadium dioxide; Smart windows; Engineering Science with specialization in Solid State Physics; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot fasta tillståndets fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Vanadium dioxide is a well-known thermochromic material, whose optical properties can be varied reversibly in response to fluctuation of temperature. It is attractive in various fields due to its unique properties as well as its prospective applications. LÄS MER

  7. 10. A decision-making framework for enhancing client well-being : When designing windows and blinds

    Författare :Elaheh Jalilzadehazhari; Jimmy Johansson; Krushna Mahapatra; Peter Johansson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Value creation; Well-being; Multi-criteria decision-making; Analytical hierarchy process; Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II; Technology acceptance model; Värdskap; Välbefinnandet; Multikriterieanalys vid beslutsfattning; Analytical hierarchy process; Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II; Technology acceptance model; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The current state of window and blind design moves beyond evaluating a single function, such as energy consumption, to include a human perspective in architectural design approach to create value. A current thought among architects and design professionals is that the highest value outcomes can be obtained when any architectural design contributes to enhanced well-being. LÄS MER
