    Abstract: This paper addresses energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and water consumption in historic buildings. Building sustainability has become a worldwide issue from new construction to existing buildings. Historic buildings make up a large part of existing buildings throughout the world, making it essential that research is done to provide these buil... Show More

    Abstract: Many algorithms have been used to track the MPP in a PV generator. Although these algorithms have proved their worth, the fact remains that they still have limits in terms of stability, response times and significant presence of oscillations, especially for sub-Saharan conditions where the climate variation is very sudden and has a considerable imp...

    Abstract: The instability of the M'HAOUDATT pit is a major problem often encountered on the wall composed of a network of fractures located in unfavorable conditions for a very soft geological formation. Therefore, the trend in large open-pit mines is to use high-energy blasting to increase conveying performance and crusher throughput. The increase in blasti... Show More
