KINETIC PHOTOVOLTAIC FACADE SYSTEM BASED ON A PARAMETRIC DESIGN FOR APPLICATION IN SIGNAL BOX BUILDINGS IN SWITZERLAND

Kinetic Photovoltaic Facade System Based on a Parametric Design for Application in Signal Box Buildings in Switzerland

This study aims to produce renewable energy by applying a solar-energy-harvesting architectural design using solar panels on the facade of a building.To install as many solar panels as possible on the building elevation, the Signal Box auf dem Wolf, located in Basel, Switzerland, was selected as the research target.The solar panels to be installed

BigFiRSt: A Software Program Using Big Data Technique for Mining Simple Sequence Repeats From Large-Scale Sequencing Data

BackgroundSimple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are short tandem repeats of nucleotide sequences.It has been shown that SSRs are associated with human diseases and are of medical relevance.Accordingly, a variety of computational methods have been proposed to mine SSRs from genomes.Conventional methods rely on a high-quality complete genome to identify SSR

Decimated little brown bats show potential for adaptive change

Abstract The degree to which species can rapidly adapt is key to survival in the face of climatic and other anthropogenic changes.For little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus), whose populations have experienced declines of over 90% because of the introduced fungal pathogen that causes white-nose syndrome (WNS), survival of the species may ultimately de

To tailor the conical beam by using planar superstrate

Abstract Here, the planar superstrate is used to tailor the conical beam.In the applications of conical beam antenna, making a good Dice balance between the wider coverage and the higher gain is always a challenge, while the planar superstrate provides the freedom of design.Through adjusting the parameters of the planar superstrate, it is possible
