Nitrogen and phosphorus leaching losses from intensively managed paddy fields with straw retention

Wang, Jun; Wang, Dejian; Zhang, Gang; Wang, Yuan; Wang, Can - In: Agricultural Water Management 141 (2014) C, pp. 66-73

A field experiment was carried out for three years to examine the concentrations of NH4+-N, NO3−-N and dissolved total phosphorus (TP) in leachates and cumulative leaching losses in rice fields with straw retention under different rates of fertilizer N application. With straw retention, the...

Estimation of direct normal irradiance from measured global and corrected diffuse horizontal irradiance

Kotti, M.C.; Argiriou, A.A.; Kazantzidis, A. - In: Energy 70 (2014) C, pp. 382-392

DNI (direct normal irradiance) can be calculated from global and diffuse horizontal irradiance measurements. However …, the diffuse irradiance values need to be corrected because the pyranometer's shadowband does not obstruct only the solar … disk but also a larger part of the sky vault. In this study, we use four diffuse correction models (Drummond [1], LeBaron …

Classifying logistics-relevant disasters: conceptual model and empirical illustration

L’Hermitte, Cécile; Tatham, Peter; Bowles, Marcus - In: Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain … 4 (2014) 2, pp. 155-178

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to use a theory-based approach to develop a new classification model for disasters that reflects their logistics implications, and to contextualise the findings by applying the model to a particular disaster situation. Design/methodology/approach – A...

Predicting daylight illuminance and solar irradiance on vertical surfaces based on classified standard skies

Li, Danny H.W.; Chau, Natalie T.C.; Wan, Kevin K.W. - In: Energy 53 (2013) C, pp. 252-258

Solar irradiance and outdoor illuminance, particularly on vertical surfaces are crucial to energy-efficient building designs and daylighting schemes. In Hong Kong, only hourly horizontal global solar radiation data have been systematically recorded for a long period but no measurements of...
