Solar radiation and daylight models. (2004)
Book
Muneer, T., Gueymard, C., & Kambezidis, H. (2004). Solar radiation and daylight models. Elsevier

Preface Rapid sale of the first edition in a relatively short time plus the need to update information for an area of significant activity has dictated the need for the second edition of this book. Of late, the rapid deployment of solar photovolta... Read More about Solar radiation and daylight models..

Decomposition and settlement in landfilled waste and other soil-like materials (2004)
Journal Article
McDougall, J. R., Pyrah, I. C., Yuen, S. T. S., Monteiro, V. E. D., Melo, M. C., & Jucá, J. F. T. (2004). Decomposition and settlement in landfilled waste and other soil-like materials. Géotechnique, 54(9), 605-609. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.54.9.605.56937

The term ‘soil-like materials’ is used to refer to particulate materials that contain organic or other non-inert solids. When these materials decompose, there is a reduction in solid phase volume and an induced change in void phase volume, the combin...

Booster Disinfection of Water Supply Networks: Multiobjective Approach (2004)
Journal Article
Prasad, T. D., Walters, G. A., & Savic, D. A. (2004). Booster Disinfection of Water Supply Networks: Multiobjective Approach. Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 130(5), 367-376. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9496%282004%29130%3A5%28367%29

Booster disinfection is the addition of disinfectant at some critical locations of a water distribution network such that disinfectant residuals are maintained at a level greater than the minimum for public health. Compared to conventional methods th... Read More about Booster Disinfection of Water Supply Networks: Multiobjective Approach.

Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW (2004)
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Pyrah, I., & Yuen, S. T. S. (2004). Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW. Waste Management, 24(3), 251-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2003.10.009

The moisture retention and compression characteristics of municipal solid waste under self-weight are likened to those of an unsaturated soil. By assuming that the solid organic fraction in waste retains a relatively immobile micropore moisture and t... Read More about Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW.
