Enhancement in Solar Cells Efficiency by Luminescent Down-Shifting layers
(2013)In this paper, core-shell semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) CdSeS/ZnS with emission at 490 nm and 450 nm were investigated for their use in luminescent down-shifting (LDS) layers. Luminescent quantum yield ... -
Environmental Tobacco Smoke in Designated Smoking Areas in the Hospitality Industry: Exposure Measurement, Exposure Modelling & Policy Assessment
(2012)Tobacco control policy has been enacted in many jurisdictions worldwide banning smoking in the workplace. In the hospitality sector many businesses such as bars, hotels and restaurants have installed designated smoking ... -
Numerical modelling of the passive control of air pollution in asymmetrical urban street canyons using refined mesh discretization schemes
(2012)This study evaluates the potential of passive controls in asymmetrical street canyons to reduce personal exposure to air pollutants on footpaths. A passive control in the form of a low boundary wall (LBW) may act as a ... -
Optimizing the use of on-street car parking system as a passive control of air pollution exposure in street canyons by large eddy simulation
(2011)An investigation was carried out to establish the effectiveness of parked cars in urban street canyons as passive controls on pedestrian pollutant exposure. A numerical model of a generic street canyon was developed using ...
