The Gambia has abundant solar energy but a significant shortfall in electrical generation and distribution capacity, along with a growing demand for electricity. This paper will outline areas in the application of photovoltaics (PV) in The Gambia which are both technically and economically...

Photovoltaic cladding of building roofs and facades is receiving considerable attention in many European countries, due to the potential for significant contributions to the electricity supply, even in densely populated countries with little spare land area. The cladding of facades is...

This paper will discuss the benefits and needs for renewable energy technology transfer to developing countries. It will also assess and discuss the different models or channels of renewable energy technology transfer for successful dissenination in developing countries.

The integration of photovoltaics into façade systems provides the opportunity for a distinctive, visual character as well as contributing electricity to the building needs. This paper will discuss some design and performance issues, using three systems in the UK as examples. These include...

This study has employed logit analysis in an attempt to determine important variables that influence the voting by the NLRB on unfair labor practice cases. Pooled regression results on the odds of voting prolabor were reported for the administrations of Eisenhower, Kennedy-Johnson and Nixon and...

This paper discusses the environmental and health impacts which could be caused by cadmium telluride PV modules using impact pathway analysis. This approach allows an assessment of the major source emissions, burdens and impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This enables a detailed...

In this paper, we have provided strong evidence in favor of the Niskanen model of bureaucratic behavior and against the ‘public interest’ hypothesis by considering the selection process used by HUD in awarding Urban Development Action Grants. Specifically, we did not find that any distress...
