Pollution haven hypothesis (PHH), which is defined as foreign direct investment inducing a
raising impact on the pollution level in the hosting country, is lately a subject of discussion in …

In this work, a new approach that contains two phases is used to predict the hourly solar
radiation series. In the detrending phase, several models are applied to remove the non …

In the following work, a seasonal thermal energy storage using paraffin wax as a PCM with
the latent heat storage technique was attempted to heat the greenhouse of 180 m2 floor …

Turkey is located at the Mediterranean at 36° and 42° N latitudes and has a typical
Mediterranean climate. The solar energy potential is very high in Turkey. The yearly average …

This study introduces artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the estimation of solar radiation in
Turkey (26–45 E and 36–42N). Resilient propagation (RP), Scale conjugate gradient (SCG) …

Turkey has sufficient solar radiation intensities and radiation durations for solar thermal
applications since Turkey lies in a sunny belt, between 36° and 42° N latitudes. The yearly …

As Turkey lies near the sunny belt between 36 and 42° N latitudes, most of the locations in
Turkey receive abundant solar energy. Average annual temperature is 18–20° C on the …

Despite the widespread application of nonlinear mathematical models, comparative studies
of different models are still a huge task for modellers. This is because a large number of trial …

Energy security has recently gained importance for many commercial, industrial, and
government facilities. Increasing the security of energy supply is essentially a strategy to …

Solar energy occupies one of the most important places among the various possible
alternative energy sources. In the design and study of solar energy, information on solar …
