energy consumption Modeling analysis and environmental impact assessment of Model House in thessaloniki greece
Building and Environment, 2007Co-Authors: C Koroneos, George KottasAbstract:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the annual energy consumption of an existing House in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece. The software tool HOT2000 was employed for this purpose. This work involves the prediction of the annual energy cost in the monetary units of euro. Hence, the estimated outputs are compared to the actual values retrieved from the annual utility bills in order to check the accuracy of the estimated results with the real values during the year. In this work, life cycle analysis of the fuel used is included and the environmental impact assessment is being calculated. The emission of the electricity production are all recorded and used in the analysis. It has been shown that climatic conditions and the type of building materials play a crucial role in energy savings.

Risks associated with dispersive nocturnal flights of sylvatic Triatominae to artificial lights in a Model House in the northeastern plains of Colombia
Parasites & Vectors, 2015Co-Authors: David Jácome-pinilla, Eduwin Hincapie-peñaloza, Mario I. Ortiz, Juan David Ramírez, Felipe Guhl, Jorge MolinaAbstract:Background Control initiatives and continuous surveillance of vector-borne transmission have proved to be effective measures for diminishing the incidence of Chagas disease in endemic countries. However, the active dispersal of infected sylvatic adult triatomines by flight represents one of the main obstacles to eliminating domestic transmission. Methods In order to determine the risk that active dispersal of sylvatic adult triatomines represents in Colombian northeastern plains, we quantified the distribution and abundance of triatomines in palm trees (primarily Attalea butyracea ) using live bait traps. Directional light traps were used to estimate the frequency of sylvatic triatomine dispersal and their possible origin. Finally, the effect of environmental parameters and artificial light sources on the take-off of sylvatic Rhodnius prolixus was evaluated in field experiments. Results R. prolixus was found in 90 % of the palm trees that densely aggregated toward the northern portion of the study area. R. prolixus, and three other sylvatic triatomine species were found to actively disperse and were attracted to the directional light traps ( Triatoma maculata , Panstrongylus geniculatus and Psammolestes arthuri ). Temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and night luminosity did not affect the active dispersal of the triatomines which is higher the first two hours after sunset. Artificial lights from Houses at 60 and 110 m played a key role in the directionality of the R. prolixus take-offs. Trypanosoma cruzi was isolated from R. prolixus, T. maculata and P. geniculatus and was genotyped as T. cruzi I, III and IV. Conclusions Our results highlight the potential risk in Colombian northeastern plains of actively dispersing sylvatic triatomines and their role in the domestic introduction of Discrete Typing Units of T. cruzi associated to sylvatic foci of Chagas disease transmission.

Identifying the structure of perceived luxuriousness in real and web-based Model House
2016 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM), 2016Co-Authors: Yong Min Kim, Min-ju Choi, Sei Hyun Ahn, Joon Park, Myung Hwan YunAbstract:In this study, we investigated the difference of luxuriousness between real Model House and web-based Model House. Living room as the most important residential space was targeted as an evaluation object. 6 living rooms and 9 elements contained in each living room were evaluated in terms of luxuriousness. Through independent samples t-test, we could examine that there were statistically significant difference in all elements in living rooms for both evaluations of real and web-based. Also we discovered elements that influence the luxuriousness of living room by multiple linear regression analysis. As a result, influential interior elements were extracted differently within two evaluation environments. From this points we concluded that independent strategies can be developed for web-based Model House to enhance the luxuriousness, which has been widely utilized before people visit the real Model House in terms of managerial point of view.

Application possibility of web based Model House to real Model House
HCI Korea 2016, 2016Co-Authors: Myung Bin Choi, Yong Min Kim, Byungki Jin, Kangwon Kim, Ga-won Kim, Myung Hwan YunAbstract:In this study, we would like to investigate the difference between real Model House and web based Model House for evaluating Model House. The evaluation was implemented for living room which has the biggest space in apartment. 6 living rooms and 9 elements contained in each living room were evaluated for the affective attribute, luxury. Through T-test, we could examine that there were some cases showed statistically significant difference between two evaluations. Also we figured out elements that influence luxurious of living room by regression analysis. As a result, more samples showed significant difference between two evaluations. Moreover, light and ceiling molding equally affected luxurious of living room in real Model House and web based Model House, but the other elements affected differently. From this paper, we could confirm whether web based Model House evaluation could replace real Model House evaluation or could not.

pushing the limits for enzyme based membrane less hydrogen fuel cells achieving useful power and stability
RSC Advances, 2015Co-Authors: Lang Xu, Fraser A. ArmstrongAbstract:The performance characteristics of simple enzyme-based membrane-less hydrogen fuel cells running on non-explosive H2-rich air mixtures have been established using an adjustable test bed that allows multiple unit cells to operate in series or parallel. Recent advances with ‘3D’ electrodes constructed from compacted porous carbon loaded with hydrogenase (anode) and bilirubin oxidase (cathode) have been extended in order to scale up fuel cell power to useful levels. One result is an appealing ‘classroom’ demonstration of a Model House containing small electronic devices powered by H2 mixed with a small amount of air. The 3D electrodes work by greatly increasing catalyst loading (at both the anode and cathode) and selectively restricting the access of O2 (relative to H2) to enzymes embedded in pores at the anode. The latter property raises the possibility of using standard hydrogenases that are not O2-tolerant: however, experiments with such an enzyme reveal good short-term performance due to restricted O2 access, but low long-term stability because the root cause of O2 sensitivity has not been addressed. Hydrogenases that are truly O2 tolerant must therefore remain the major focus of any future enzyme-based hydrogen fuel cell technology.
