This
paper presents an
analysis performed using a coupled TEMP/W-SEEP/W finite element model to
consider both the conducive and convective effects of groundwater flow on the
thermal regime created by a ground source ...
Analysis of the thermal regime created by a geothermal borehole heat exchanger is performed using a closed form radial heat flow equation, a geothermal borehole heat exchanger design tool and a finite element model. ...
The results of five thermal response tests (TRTs) are presented. Three of the tests were carried out consecutively on the same borehole to illustrate the importance of allowing artificially imposed thermal gradients to ...
A thermal response test (TRT) is a controlled insitu test during which a known quantity of heat energy is injected into a closed loop heat-exchanger pipe while the heat dissipation rate into the surrounding ground is ...
The potential of solar water heating systems to reduce domestic energy use is frequently acknowledged.
However there are two factors that are rarely discussed when studying this technology. Firstly the real
performance ...

This paper examines the experience of The Gambia following the liberalization of its exchange rate and financial markets in the mid-1980's. It is shown that although nominal interest rates are high, and the real interest ...
With one of the highest energy dependencies in the European Union, Ireland
must adapt quickly to renewable energy technologies or risk paying the penalty in the
form of high energy prices in years to come. Escalating ...

This study assesses alternative Asian exchange rate regimes and finds short- and long-run currency dynamics more conducive to the possibility of introducing a common peg based on a basket of the European euro, the United ...

This study assesses prospective Asian exchange rate regimes and finds short- and longrun
currency dynamics more conducive to the introduction of a common peg based on a
basket of the European euro, the United States ...
Using a sample of 1154 European firms from 11 countries, we show that firm-level
exchange exposure for Eurozone and non-Eurozone European firms has increased since
the introduction of the euro, but this rise was smaller ...
