Field boundary features can stabilise bee populations and the pollination of mass-flowering crops in rotational systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pollinators experience large spatiotemporal fluctuations in resource availability when mass-flowering crops are rotated with resource-poor cereal crops. Yet, few studies have considered the effect this has on pollinator ... -
Field study of a direct absorption solar collector with eco-friendly nanofluid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The concept of direct absorption solar collector (DASC) was introduced in the 1970s. Multiple laboratory studies proved that nanofluid-based DASCs presented a fruitful alternative to conventional solar collectors. However, ... -
