"* 2 real examples demonstrate how to obtain the service life of solar collector systems * Durable, providing fundamentals that will continue to be valuable over the next 5-10 years * Lighting a pathway to the commercialisation of solar productsSolar devices lose their performance over time. The rate of degradation controls the service life of these devices. The essential concepts used to assess durability and performance of two specifi ..."

"Many respondents felt that HHW contributed to wider issues such as social
inclusion, helping disadvantaged young people, building community capacity
and undertaking sustainable management of the environment. While the type of
education and training being carried out at HHW may work in other settings, the
woodland habitat has a number of advantages: (i) the ability to absorb activity
without seeming crowded; (ii) calming and therape ..."
"One June Morning in 1895, five men made their final goodbyes on a platform in Lawrence, Kansas. The men--a politician, a professor, two students, and an interested citizen--were leaving town for the summer. They would live among the grasslands, badlands, dry, white-bottomed creek beds and Cretaceous rocks of eastern Wyoming, which they hoped to find rich in dinosaur bones. Two of the students--Barnum Brown, and Elmer Riggs--would go on ..."
"Bridging the gap between basic science and technological applications, this is the first book devoted to polymers for solar thermal applications. Clearly divided into three major parts, the contributions are written by experts on solar thermal applications and polymer scientists alike. The first part explains the fundamentals of solar thermal energy especially for representatives of the plastics industry and researchers. Part two then g ..."
