The Architecture Aspect of Arise from Emmanuel Levinas' Philosophy Compared to Modern and Postmodern Architecture

The present-day architecture of the present era represents the emergence of ethical issues arisingfrom the ideas of the " Modern individual-oriented" and "Pos tmodern being oriented", such as the consideration of personal interes ts and the reduction of human relations. Therefore, the exis tence of such shortcomings requires the identification of an architecture that considers the individ...

Nutrient availability constrains the hydraulic architecture and water relations of savannah trees.

Leaf and whole plant-level functional traits were studied in five dominant woody savannah species from Central Brazil (Cerrado) to determine whether reduction of nutrient limitations in oligotrophic Cerrado soils affects carbon allocation, water relations and hydraulic architecture. Four treatments were used: control, N additions, P additions and N plus P additions. Fertilizers were applied twi...

Assessing the capacity of trees and shrubs species to accumulate of particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5 and PM0.2)

Background and Objective: Today, the presence and increase of particulate matter is one of the serious factors that threaten human health. In the meantime, trees can accumulate airborne particles by their foliage. In this study, the accumulating ability of various PM by the leaf of some tree and shrub species was evaluated in Isfahan. Materials and Methods: 12 species of trees and shrubs were ...

Susceptibility of Oregon Forest Trees and Shrubs to Phytophthora ramorum:

Phytophthora ramorum is a recently established invasive pathogen in some mixed-hardwood forests of central coastal California (10,11) and extreme southwestern Oregon (5). It also is known from horticultural nurseries and landscape plantings in Europe (12) and recently was reported from a few nurseries in California and Oregon (6,9). Symptoms are dramatically different on different host species....
