Investigation of advanced solar assisted cooling for Australian commercial buildings
No full textThis thesis investigated the feasibility of different advanced solar assisted air conditioning systems for a typical medium office building in all eight Australian capital cities. The technical, environmental, and economic performances of each system have been analysed in comparison with the referenced conventional vapour compression cooling system using the whole building energy simulation software EnergyPlus. The research has concluded that solar cooling technology is technically and economically applicable in Australian climates which can contribute to reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector

Physodera andrewesi Ma, Shi & Liang, 2017, sp. n.
No full textandrewesi -group The andrewesi -group contains three species: P. andrewesi (Jedlička), P. bacchusi Darlington, and P. unicolor sp. n. This species group has a rather wide and discontinuous distribution range in southeast Asia, including south Chinese continent, Taiwan Island, the Philippines, and New Guinea. (Fig. 66) The diagnostic characters of this species group are: Body form weakly convex; pronotum unicolor; elytra unicolor or with two spots near apex; tergum VII uniformly black, or with vague light pattern. Terminal labial palpomeres securiform in both sexes (Fig. 61); male sternum VII with two pairs of setae; elytral third interval with four or more setigerous pores. Aedeagus gently slender, with apical lamella short and wide, about coniform, strongly oblique to right side; internal sac with main flagellum reaching apical orifice; trumpet-form expansion small, length 0.25–0.3 times of the main flagellum; secondary flagellum short and weakly sclerotized; apical bursa present or not. (Figs. 41, 42) We consider these three species are close for the following similarities: (1) body form weakly convex; (2) elytral third and fifth interval with three or more setigerous pores; (3) tergum VII without distinct pattern; (4) aedeagal apical lamella short, about coniform. The andrewesi -group is very similar with eschscholtzii -group in color coordination, and male secondary sexual characters. But, the andrewesi -group is different from the latter species group in body form (weakly convex in andrewesi -group, strongly convex in eschscholtzii -group) and aedeagus shape (much slenderer in eschscholtzii - group).Published as part of Ma, Yunlong, Shi, Hongliang & Liang, Hongbin, 2017, Revision of the Oriental Genus Physodera Eschscholtz, 1829 (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Lebiini, Physoderina), with the descriptions of two new species, pp. 297-328 in Zootaxa 4243 (2) on page 306, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4243.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/39909

Physodera eburata Ma, Shi & Liang, 2017, sp. n.
No full text<i>eburata</i> -group <p> The <i>eburata</i> -group contains three very similar species: <i>P. eburata</i> Heller, <i>P. bifenestrata</i> Heller, and <i>P. sciakyi</i> <b>sp. n.</b></p> <p>These three insular species of the eburata-group distribute in the Philippines, Borneo, and Sulawesi. (Fig. 65)</p> <p>The diagnostic characters of this species group are: Pronotum unicolor; elytra black with purplish hue, disc with a pair of ivory callosities; tergum VII and sternum VII dark, without light pattern; antennameres 5–11 distinctly widened and flattened (Fig. 59). Terminal labial palpomeres truncate in both sexes, not strongly securiform (Fig. 60); males with two pairs of setae on sternum VII. Aedeagus stout and straight, apical lamella short and wide; internal sac with main flagellum thick, reaching apical orifice; trumpet-form expansion large, length 0.4–0.45 times of the main flagellum; secondary flagellum short and thick, weakly sclerotized; apical bursa present.</p> <p> These three species are doubtless close for the similarities mentioned above. The following characters are unique in the genus: elytra with a pair of ivory callosities; antennameres distinctly widened since the fifth. The <i>eburata</i> -group could be also close to <i>dejeani</i> -group for their aedeagus stouter than other species groups and both have ivory callosities. But differences on some secondary sexual characters (male labial palpomere, and seta on sternum VII) show otherwise.</p>Published as part of <i>Ma, Yunlong, Shi, Hongliang & Liang, Hongbin, 2017, Revision of the Oriental Genus Physodera Eschscholtz, 1829 (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Lebiini, Physoderina), with the descriptions of two new species, pp. 297-328 in Zootaxa 4243 (2)</i> on page 304, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4243.2.3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/399097">http://zenodo.org/record/399097</a>
