description: We give a short review of the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, the quark-based model of finite nuclei and hadron interactions in a nuclear medium, highlighting on the relationship with the Skyrme effective nuclear forces. The model is based on a mean field description of nonoverlapping nucleon MIT bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of Lorentz-scalar-isoscalar, Lorentz-vector-isoscalar, and Lorentz-vector-isovector meson fields directly coupled to the light quarks up and down. In conventional nuclear physics the Skyrme effective forces are very popular, but, there is no satisfactory interpretation of the parameters appearing in the Skyrme forces. Comparing a many-body Hamiltonian generated by the QMC model in the zero-range limit with that of the Skyrme force, it is possible to obtain a remarkable agreement between the Skyrme force and the QMC effective interaction. Furthermore, it is shown that 3-body and higher order N-body forces are naturally included in the QMC-generated effective interaction.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Adopting technologies such as artificial insemination, and the associated improvements in beef herd genetics better position livestock producers to meet anticipated demand increases for high-quality beef. If we examine the factors that influence technology adoption, then we will be better able to envision the producer operations of the future. This research examines Missouri cow-calf producer survey data to determine the impact that producer, operation, and management characteristics; production risk; and location have on the adoption of reproductive technologies regionally. Binary choice models are estimated to assess adoption of artificial insemination and estrus synchronization (AIES).
Structural Safety of Photovoltaic Modules in the Building Envelope
Creators: name: Hemmerle, C.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: The mechanical performance of photovoltaic modules has not been adequately characterized for use as glazing product in the building envelope. As a result, the modules are subject to individual approval by the building authorities in many building-integrated applications. This paper presents experimental research on glass based photovoltaic modules, analyzing their mechanical properties in comparison with regulated construction products. The focus is on the influence of photovoltaic thin-film coatings on the bending strength of the float glass used as a substrate or superstrate and on the post-breakage behavior of glass-glass modules. The four-point bending test according to EN 1288-3 was modified in terms of specimen dimensions in order to test full-size photovoltaic glass panes. The modified set-up was verified as a suitable and simple test method to determine and confirm strength values. Edge ablation was found to reduce glass strength rather than the PV coating and cell scribing processes, but the reduction is less than 10 % and the minimum strength value of float glass can still be met. Residual strength testing of glass-glass photovoltaic modules in different load and temperature scenarios showed that the integration of crystalline silicon cells as well as thin-film solar cells improves the post-breakage behavior of glazings. A critical point may be mechanical failure within the layers of thin-film cells on glass associated with the potential danger of broken glass pieces falling down. Standard glass-glass module configurations appear to provide the same or higher residual strength performance as laminated safety glass, if the interlayer material is approved for use in laminated safety glass.

description: The years following the 2008 financial crisis have been marked by general economic malaise, yet the period has been relatively prosperous for the agricultural sector. As a result, many investors have recognized the potential for farmland as an investment alternative. This study compares farmland’s risk and return to those of competing investment alternatives. Farmland is shown to be an attractive investment alternative with relatively high mean returns, low variability, low correlation with financial markets, and strength relative to other investments following the 2008 financial crisis.

description: The authors provide a detailed empirical analysis of Canadian city housing prices. They examine the long-run relationship between city house prices in Canada from 1981 to 2005 as well as idiosyncratic relations between city prices and city-specific variables. The results suggest that city house prices are only weakly correlated in the long run, and that there is a disconnect between house prices and interest rates. City-specific variables such as union wage levels, new-housing prices, and the issuance of building permits tend to be positively related to city existing-house prices. Surprisingly, there is mixed evidence with respect to standard measures of economic activity, such as labour force and per capita GDP.
description: Les auteurs présentent une analyse empirique détaillée de l'évolution des prix des maisons en milieu urbain au Canada. Ils examinent la relation à long terme entre ces prix pour la période de 1981 à 2005 ainsi que les relations idiosyncrasiques entre ces mêmes prix et les variables propres à chaque ville. Leurs résultats donnent à penser que la corrélation entre les prix des maisons en milieu urbain est faible en longue période et que ceux-ci sont parfois déconnectés des taux d'intérêt. Les variables propres aux villes, dont le niveau de salaire des travailleurs syndiqués, les prix des maisons neuves et le nombre de permis de construire émis, sont liées positivement aux prix de revente des maisons. Fait étonnant, les résultats ne sont pas concluants en ce qui concerne les mesures courantes de l'activité économique telles que la population active et le produit intérieur brut par habitant.
Young Stars and Outflows in the globule IC1396W

description: We have observed the IC1396W globule in a narrow band filter centred on the 1-0 S(1) line of molecular hydrogen and in the J, H, K' broad-band filters. Three molecular hydrogen outflows could be identified by means of H2 emission. The projected axes of the flows are parallel to each other. By means of the NIR images and IRAS/ISOPHOT data we could identify the driving sources of all outflows, the possible Class0 source IRAS21246+5743 and two red objects (Class1/2). NIR photometry reveals an embedded cluster of young stars in the globule, coinciding with FIR emission. Other young stars in the field are more or less clustered in several small groups, an indication that star formation takes place at different positions at the same time in such small globules.

Creators: name: Cornell, Christopher

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2006

description: Suppose that the dynamics of the macroeconomy were given by (partly) random fluctuations between two equilibria: "good" and "bad." One would interpret currency crises (or recessions) as a shift from the good equilibrium to the bad. In this paper, the authors specify a dynamic investment-savings-aggregate-supply (IS-AS) model, determine its closed-form solution, and examine numerically its comparative statics. The authors estimate the model via maximum likelihood, using data for Argentina, Canada, and Turkey. Since the data show no support for the multiple-equilibrium explanation of fluctuations, the authors cast doubt on the third-generation models of currency crisis.
description: Si l'on pose pour hypothèse que la dynamique macroéconomique est déterminée par des fluctuations partiellement aléatoires entre deux équilibres, le « bon » et le « mauvais », il est alors possible d'interpréter les crises de change (ou les récessions) comme le passage du bon au mauvais équilibre. Les auteurs formulent un modèle dynamique IS-AS (pour Investment-Savings et Aggregate Supply), trouvent sa solution analytique et examinent numériquement ses propriétés de statique comparative. Ils estiment le modèle par la méthode du maximum de vraisemblance au moyen de données relatives à l'Argentine, au Canada et à la Turquie. Comme leurs résultats ne confirment nullement que l'existence d'équilibres multiples est à l'origine des fluctuations, les auteurs émettent des doutes sur la validité des modèles de crise de change de troisième génération.

description: We assemble a database of 12 dwarf galaxies, for which optical (R-band) and near-infrared ($3.6μm$) surface brightness density together with spectroscopic rotation curve data are available, in order to test the slowly rotating Bose-Einstein Condensate (srBEC) dark matter model. We aim to establish the angular velocity range compatible with observations, bounded from above by the requirement of finite size halos, to check the modelfits with the dataset, and the universality of the BEC halo parameter $\mathcal{R}$. We construct the spatial luminosity density of the stellar component of the dwarf galaxies based on their $3.6μm$ and R-band surface brightness profiles, assuming an axisymmetric baryonic mass distribution. We build up the gaseous component by employing a truncated disk model. We fit a baryonic plus dark matter combined model, parametrized by the M/L ratios of the baryonic components and parameters of the srBEC (the central density $ρ_c$, size of the static BEC halo $\mathcal{R}$, angular velocity $ω$) to the rotation curves. The $3.6μm$ surface brightness of 6 galaxies indicates the presence of a bulge and a disk component. The shape of the $3.6μm$ and R-band spatial mass density profiles being similar is consistent with the stellar mass of the galaxies emerging wavelength-independent. The srBEC model fits the rotation curve of 11 galaxies out of 12 within $1σ$ significance level, with the average of $\mathcal{R}$ as 7.51 kpc and standard deviation of 2.96 kpc. This represents an improvement over the static BEC modelfit. For the well-fitting 11 galaxies the angular velocities allowing for a finite size srBEC halo are $<2.2\times 10^{-16}$ 1/s. For a scattering length of the BEC particle of $a\approx 10^6$ fm, the mass of the BEC particle is slightly better constrained than in the static case as $m\in[1.26\times10^{-17}\div3.08\times10^{-17}]$ eV/c$^2$.

Then, we consider the special case of the supersymmetric mechanics with the non-zero potential term defined on the family of $U(1)$-invariant one-(complex)dimensional special Kähler metrics. The bosonic parts of these systems include superintegrable deformations of perturbed two-dimensional oscillator and Coulomb systems.

description: One of the most effective ways to test stellar evolutionary models is to measure dynamical masses for binary systems at a range of temperatures. In this paper, we present orbits of three young K+M binary systems in Taurus (Hubble~4, FF~Tau, and HP~Tau/G3) with VLBI parallaxes. We obtained precision astrometry with Keck-II/NIRC2, optical photometry with HST/WFC3, and low-resolution optical spectra with WIFeS on the ANU 2.3 m telescope. We fit orbital solutions and dynamical masses with uncertainties of 1-5% for the three binary systems. The spectrum, photometry, and mass for Hubble~4 are inconsistent with a binary system, suggesting that it may be a triple system where the primary component consists of two stars. For HP~Tau/G3 and FF~Tau, model masses derived from SED determined component temperatures and luminosities agree with the dynamical masses, with a small offset towards larger model masses. We find model ages for the primary components of these systems of $\sim$3 Myr, but find that the secondaries appear younger by a factor of two. These estimates also disagree with the age of the physically associated G-type star HP~Tau/G2, which is older ($\sim$5 Myr) according to the same models. This discrepancy is equivalent to a luminosity under-prediction of 0.1-0.2 dex, or a temperature over-prediction of 100-300 K, for K/M-type stars at a given model age. We interpret this as further evidence for a systematic error in pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks for convective stars. Our results reinforce that the ages of young populations determined from the locus of M-type members on the HR-diagram may require upward revision.

Experimental Investigation on Post-tensioned Spannglass Beams during Temperature Loads

name: Weller, B.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: Recent research work focused on material efficient and safe structural use of glass beams. Reinforcing and post-tensioning of those structures in the style of reinforced concrete are promising options. They allow for a safe post-breakage behaviour of load bearing glass constructions. Other ductile materials such as steel and high-grade cables strengthen the glass, which results in robust structures. However, hybrid structures are prone to temperature loads. Especially post-tensioned glass beams – Spannglass Beams – are vulnerable to lose part of their initial cable load caused by a different expansion of their parts. The thermal expansion coefficient of steel cables is about 70% larger than the value of glass. Therefore, a cable in a hybrid structure will expand much more during heating. This effect results in a loss in initial cable load of a post-tensioned reinforcement, and cannot be prevented. Hence, the temperature dependency needs to be considered during the design stage. Furthermore, a change in temperature influences the material properties of glass-contact materials and the interlayer. Thermoplastic blockings transfer the cable load into the laminated glass edge. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the interlayer material is stressed. Therefore, this will affect the reaction of the structure to a change in temperature. The non-destructive experimental study includes the results of a set of two Spannglass Beams with 8 mm post-tensioned cables. Adhesively bonded connectors redirect the cables according to the needs in a four-point bending set-up. Two-meter long beams were placed in a climate chamber to heat the specimens from ambient temperature to 60°C. We recorded the structural behaviour at alternating initial cable loads as well as different bending loads. Finally, the results led to a recommendation on how to consider a possible loss in cable load caused by a change in temperature. This will support the argumentation that post-tensioning glass beams is a feasible structural option.

The critical force for the unfolding is determined exactly, as a function of the temperature, below the $Θ$-transition. The transition is second order and characterized by new critical exponents which are determined by a careful numerical analysis. The usual polymer critical index $ν$ on the critical line, and another one, which we call $ζ$, take a non-trivial value which is numerically close to 2/3.

Year: 2016

description: Safety glass is usually the proper designer choice when glazing may be subjected to the impact of a person. In order to avoid people injuries, glass products must comply with appropriate safety practices. Existing technical standards classify safety glass products by mode of breakage and post-breakage behavior. Critical demanding applications in terms of self-weight saving, like high efficiency elevator cars in buildings or aircrafts and other means of transportation interiors in aerospatial and automotive industries, are currently driving the innovation in the development of safety glass. In this framework, glass-polycarbonate composite panels offer a lightweight alternative which is at once able to preserve the aesthetic and safety aspects of traditional laminated safety glass. The aim of this paper is to present an experimental investigation on the performance under impact of thin glass layer with a cellular polycarbonate backing joined together by an auto-adhesive interlayer film. Different coatings (mirror and paint) at the glass-adhesive interface are also taken into account.

description: Financial innovations and the removal of the reserve requirements in the early 1990s have made the distinction between demand and notice deposits arbitrary. This classification issue has affected those narrow monetary aggregates (gross and net M1) that rely on a proper distinction for their definition, and may have eroded their value as indicators. The authors examine whether the indicator properties of various narrow aggregates for the growth of real output have changed over time. They find evidence of a regime shift in the relationship between real and narrow monetary aggregates and the growth of real output, which seems to have occurred in 1992. More specifically, their results show that real M1+, the definition of which is not based on the distinction between demand and notice deposits, has become a more useful indicator in predicting the growth of real output over the more recent period.
description: Les innovations financières et l'élimination des réserves obligatoires au début des années 1990 ont rendu arbitraire la distinction entre les dépôts à vue et les dépôts à préavis. Étant donné que la définition des agrégats monétaires au sens étroit (M1 brut et M1 net) dépend d'une telle distinction, ce problème de classification pourrait avoir entraîné une diminution de leur utilité en tant qu'indicateurs. Les auteurs examinent si les propriétés de divers agrégats monétaires étroits comme indicateurs de la croissance de la production réelle se sont modifiées au fil des ans. D'après leurs résultats, un changement de régime se serait produit en 1992 dans la relation entre les agrégats étroits mesurés en termes réels et la croissance de la production réelle. Les résultats indiquent en particulier que M1+ réel, dont la définition ne repose pas sur la distinction entre les dépôts à vue et les dépôts à préavis, est devenu au cours de la période récente un indicateur plus utile pour la prévision de la croissance de la production réelle.

Attrition may bias findings of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and exacerbates the risk that complex cases are underestimated, which is serious since RCTs inform the development of evidence-based practices. An increased understanding of dropout processes may contribute to increased patient retention, still, patients’ perspectives on voluntary dropout are rare. We explore the treatment responses involved in voluntary dropout processes in an RCT. Six female, cis-gendered non-completers were interviewed after dropout; rich descriptions from few informants rendered Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis suitable. We developed three Master Themes with two subthemes each: «I had no choice» (fear of disappointing, other-orientation), «I did not fit in» (alienation, poor fit of treatment), «I left to survive» (Existing through the illness, Need to regain control of self) under the overarching Core Master Theme «Treatment as involuntary, incompatible, and intimidating». Our findings underscored the centrality of perceived coercion, feeling pressured to choose recovery, alienation, misalignment with treatment goals, and the seemingly existential and critical urge to regain control of self during overwhelming emotions evoked when confronted with mandatory treatment components. RCT non-completers’ accounts corroborate previous patient-as-expert research on dropout experiences in naturalistic settings. Refined methods are called for to bridge the research-practice gap.

description: Context: This paper investigates the effectiveness of phase mixing as a coronal heating mechanism. A key quantity is the wave damping rate, $γ$, defined as the ratio of the heating rate to the wave energy. Aims: We investigate whether or not laminar phase-mixed Alfvén waves can have a large enough value of $γ$ to heat the corona. We also investigate the degree to which the $γ$ of standing Alfvén waves which have reached steady-state can be approximated with a relatively simple equation. Further foci of this study are the cause of the reduction of $γ$ in response to leakage of waves out of a loop, the quantity of this reduction, and how increasing the number of excited harmonics affects $γ$. Results: We find that at observed frequencies $γ$ is too small to heat the corona by approximately three orders of magnitude. Therefore, we believe that laminar phase mixing is not a viable stand-alone heating mechanism for coronal loops. We show that $γ$ is largest at resonance. We find our simple equation provides a good estimate for the damping rate (within approximately 10% accuracy) for resonant field lines. However, away from resonance, the equation provides a poor estimate, predicting $γ$ to be orders of magnitude too large. We find that leakage acts to reduce $γ$ but plays a negligible role if $γ$ is of the order required to heat the corona. If the wave energy follows a power spectrum with slope -5/3 then $γ$ grows logarithmically with the number of excited harmonics. If the number of excited harmonics is increased by much more than 100, then the heating is mainly caused by gradients that are parallel to the field rather than perpendicular to it. Therefore, in this case, the system is not heated mainly by phase mixing.

title: Ownership Concentration and Competition in Banking Markets
Creators: name: Lai, Alexandra

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada

description: Many countries prohibit large shareholdings in their domestic banks. The authors examine whether such a restriction restrains competition in a duopolistic loan market. Blockholders may influence managers' output decisions by choosing capital structure, as in Brander and Lewis (1986). For the blockholder, debt has an additional benefit: it "disciplines" a manager by reducing the amount of free cash flow from which the manager can divert funds. A larger blockholder can exert more control. The authors show that an economy with blockholders often leads to a more competitive banking sector. Hence, a restriction on the size of blockholdings has anti-competitive results.
description: De nombreux pays interdisent la détention de larges participations dans le capital des banques nationales. Les auteurs cherchent à déterminer si une telle limitation restreint la concurrence sur un marché duopolistique du crédit. S'inspirant de Brander et Lewis (1986), ils postulent que les gros actionnaires peuvent influencer les décisions de gestion relatives au niveau des prêts en choisissant la structure du capital. Aux yeux de ces actionnaires, la dette offre un avantage supplémentaire : elle « discipline » les gestionnaires du fait qu'elle réduit le montant des ressources d'autofinancement disponibles qu'ils peuvent détourner à leur profit. Un gros actionnaire est en mesure d'exercer davantage de contrôle. Les auteurs montrent que la présence de gros actionnaires au sein d'une économie accroît souvent la compétitivité du secteur bancaire. Limiter la taille des participations a donc des effets négatifs sur la concurrence.

description: The notions of convexity and convex polytopes are introduced in the setting of tropical geometry. Combinatorial types of tropical polytopes are shown to be in bijection with regular triangulations of products of two simplices. Applications to phylogenetic trees are discussed. Theorem 29 and Corollary 30 in the paper, relating tropical polytopes to injective hulls, are incorrect. See the erratum at http://www.math.uiuc.edu/documenta/vol-09/vol-09-eng.html .

description: Volume and enthalpy relaxation of glasses after a sudden temperature change has been extensively studied since Kovacs seminal work. One observes an asymmetric approach to equilibrium upon cooling versus heating and, more counter-intuitively, the expansion gap paradox, i.e. a dependence on the initial temperature of the effective relaxation time even close to equilibrium when heating. Here we show that a distinguishable-particles lattice model can capture both the asymmetry and the expansion gap. We quantitatively characterize the energetic states of the particles configurations using a physical realization of the fictive temperature called the structural temperature, which, in the heating case, displays a strong spatial heterogeneity. The system relaxes by nucleation and expansion of warmer mobile domains having attained the final temperature, against cooler immobile domains maintained at the initial temperature. A small population of these cooler regions persists close to equilibrium, thus explaining the paradox.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Float Glass–GFRP Hybrid Beams

Year: 2016

description: Despite the great potentials of glass as a construction material, its brittle material behaviour poses major challenges to structural engineers when designing load-bearing glass structural members. This paper presents the load response and the failure behaviour of float glass–GFRP hybrid beams, when used as a mean of improving strength and ductility of float glass. Hybrid beams made from two layers of float glass sheets and an adhesively-bonded semi-transparent pre-cured GFRP interlayer were tested in four-point bending. The experimental results showed that double layer hybrid beams continued to take load even after the formation of the first major crack, and the beams were stronger and ductile than conventional single and multilayer float glass beams. Once the bottom glass layer has cracked the combination of the GFRP and the top glass layer carried the applied load whilst the gradual decrease in the stiffness due to the formation of new cracks ensures a ductile failure. Experimentally-validated finite element (FE) models that predict the evolution of stresses, stiffness and failure load of single and double layer glass beams, and glass– GFRP hybrid beams are also presented.

description: The chemically peculiar (CP) stars HD 98851 and HD 102480 have been discovered to be unusual pulsators during the ``Naini Tal Cape Survey'' programme to search for pulsational variability in CP stars. Time series photometric and spectroscopic observations of these newly discovered stars are reported here. Fourier analyses of the time series photometry reveal that HD 98851 is pulsating mainly with frequencies 0.208 mHz and 0.103 mHz, and HD 102480 is pulsating with frequencies 0.107 mHz, 0.156 mHz and 0.198 mHz. The frequency identifications are all subject to 1 d$^{-1}$ cycle count ambiguities. We have matched the observed low resolution spectra of HD 98851 and HD 102480 in the range 3500-7400 Åwith theoretical synthetic spectra using Kurucz models with solar metallicity and a micro-turbulent velocity 2 km s$^{-1}$. These yield $T_{eff}=7000\pm250$ K, log $g=3.5 \pm 0.5$ for HD 98851 and $T_{eff} = 6750 \pm 250$ K, log $g = 3.0 \pm 0.5$ for HD 102480. We determined the equivalent H-line spectral class of these stars to be F1 IV and F3 III/IV, respectively. A comparison of the location of HD 98851 and HD 102480 in the HR diagram with theoretical stellar evolutionary tracks indicates that both stars are about 1-Gyr-old, 2-$M_{\odot}$ stars that lie towards the red edge of the $δ$ Sct instability strip. We conclude that HD 98851 and HD 102480 are cool, evolved Am pulsators. The light curves of these pulsating stars have alternating high and low amplitudes, nearly harmonic (or sub-harmonic) period ratios, high pulsational overtones and Am spectral types. This is unusual for both Am and $δ$ Sct pulsators, making these stars interesting objects.

New Developments in Dynamic Glass: Towards a New Era in Sustainable Construction

description: Today’s green building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, and HQE all recognize that a sustainable design is not just about energy efficiency and all integrate sections related to indoor environment quality, such as provision of natural daylight and views through windows. Yet, on the other hand, with the increasing stringency of building energy efficiency targets in Europe and indeed globally, we are observing an increasing trend to reduce window area in new building energy codes, as windows are often seen as the weak link in the building envelope. Creating both energy efficient and comfortable well daylit spaces could thus be a significant design challenge. Electronically tintable glass, also known as electrochromic (EC) glass, allows the building façade to become dynamic, changing the transmission of the solar heat and light in response to the exterior environment and the needs of the building’s occupants, while always remaining transparent. It thus offers a solution which avoids having to trade off daylight and views with energy performance, allowing more glass to be used without energy penalty AND without causing thermal or visual discomfort for occupants. New developments in the EC technology are reviewed here, as well as a range of new case studies of retrofit and new construction, where dynamic glass has provided increased flexibility for designers, and optimum balance between energy performance and comfort. In all cases, this technology empowered the architect to achieve sustainable design goals, without restricting their design freedom and aesthetics choices.

description: Energy saving and environmental protection don’t represent only a technical problem but also, and maybe most of all, an ethical problem. From this point of view, the Mediterranean area, characterized by a considerable Sunshine for at least 8 months a year, is configured as particularly suitable for the use of all building systems that can reach the objectives provided by the latest global climate conferences. The architectural heritage of the Mediterranean area is various both in typological terms and in relation to building materials used. If you want to find materials and components common to the area certainly the windows, and exacting the glazing linked to them, represent a very significant element that can considerably contribute to energy savings. Our group is concerned, since 2009, to test the behaviour, in the energy field, of electrochromic glass. The phases of the studies, presented at many conferences, have already demonstrated efficiency in terms of savings that can be achieved by envelopes integrated with the EC. The testing, conducted on full scale models, was divided into three steps temporally sequential. We built two identical test rooms each other for exposure, size (4x4x2.70 m) and of the envelope composition. Traditional low-emission panels were put in place in the first room, the EC glass were placed in the second one. Measuring tools were positioned in the test rooms, to detect the most important internal thermo physical parameters. This study is divided in three steps, according to a façade configuration with glass surfaces gradually increasing. The research compares internal conditions, detected during the three phases, and it clarifies the relationships between façade configuration and both inside and outside circumstances.
