ICOMOS – IFLA Principles Concerning Rural Landscapes as Heritage – Delhi 2017

Rural landscapes are a vital component of the heritage of humanity that contain a complex lattice of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and have a strong connection with their surrounding nature and environment. As a result, they can be named the rural landscapes. Since the living rural landscapes are one of the most common types of cultural landscapes in existence, their conservation is...

Fragilities of liquids predicted from the random first order transition theory of glasses.

A microscopically motivated theory of glassy dynamics based on an underlying random first order transition is developed to explain the magnitude of free energy barriers for glassy relaxation. A variety of empirical correlations embodied in the concept of liquid "fragility" are shown to be quantitatively explained by such a model. The near universality of a Lindemann ratio characterizing the max...

Relationship between predictors of visual preference and restorative components of the urban natural landscapes

The role of scenic landscapes in restoring human mental fatigue has begun to receive attention from landscape researchers. However, little is known about the positive role of visually-preferred landscapes on restorative environments and in improving the mental fatigue of people. This study attempted to determine the relationship between the predictors of preference and restorative components of...
