N Management of European Grasslands: Can the Exchange of Gaseous N Species Be Influenced at the Operational Level? by P. Calanca, A. Neftel, J. Fuhrer

“…As a consequence, the exchange of gaseous N species (NH3, NO, NO2, N2O, and N2) between grasslands and the atmosphere is very small compared to the total N turnover. In this study, the effects of two management options (mowing and fertilization) on production and emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) from a grass/clover crop were examined on the basis of observations and model results referring to an experiment carried out on the Swiss Plateau in late summer of 2000. …”

The impact of weather factors on operation of radiation heating system by V. I. Karagusov, I. S. Kolpakov

“…With an insolation area of a solar collector of 0.02 m2, it is capable to produce about 1...2 W (50...100 W/m2) in winter and 5...8 W (250...400 W/ m2) in summer. With a living area of small farmhouse of 60 m2, the area of the southern slope of the roof is 50...70 m2, which makes it possible to get 2,5...7 kW of power for premises heating. …”
