16. Figures of time : on the phenomenology of cinema and temporality
Abstract : Image and time represent a favored issue among theorists and practitioners in the history of cinema, where discussion is related to the ingenious machine, the new art, as well as the experience of film. Looking back on this debate, and considering recent accounts of 'time-images,' it is striking to note how the problem has always oscillated between issues of the medium specific and issues of film experience; that is, the ontology of cinema as a time-bound medium, the quality of rhythm, duration, and recorded views, and, not least, the sensory and affective impact of mediated sound-images.

20. Heating and Cooling Requirements in Commercial Buildings. A duration curve model including building dynamics
Abstract : In many European countries, especially, the heat loss due to transmission and air leakage, in many buildings today, is only a fraction of what it was in those built in the early 70's. At the same time there have been changes in the way the buildings are used which, among other things, has lead to an often considerable increase of the internal heat loads. READ MORE
