Ecological Aspects of Visual Urban Environment Design

Ecological Design of Urban Landscape

Paying attention to the spatial placement of the elements (man-made or natural) based on the landscape pattern and ecological processes in urban design would have a considerable impact on both human and the nature. In a way that the discords in the placement of patchs in respect to each other, or in respect to visual corridors and urban matrixes lead to the unwanted results in the cities. The e...

Comparative, ecological, and developmental aspects of visual system design and function.

Ecological aspects of mercury--selenium interactions in the marine environment.

In the marine environment, mercury is accompanied by selenium in all investigated species of mammals, birds, and fish--possibly due to a normal homeostatic regulation. It therefore seems likely that selenium will exert its protective action against mercury toxicity in the marine environment, decreasing its detrimental effects on reproduction, behavior, growth, etc. of the organisms and thus pro...

Design Aspects of the Redwood Programming Environment

Redwood is a development environment that supports drag-and-drop manipulation of programming constructs and visual representation of program structure. Redwood’s architecture and functionality are based on the concept of snippet, defined loosely as a program component that encapsulates both a coding solution and its visual presentation. In addition, snippets support creation of unrestricted cod...
