This article attempts to study the impact of spatial intelligibility and visual perception user on his habitat focuses how inhabited space is experienced, practiced, appropriated by its inhabitants through concepts affecting habitability use outdoor spaces in residential environment based syntax approach. The aim measure degree visibility, accessibility, connectivity, integration between one an...

Examining the way in which animals, including those in captivity, interact with their environment is extremely important for studying ecological processes and developing sophisticated animal husbandry. Here we use the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) to quantify the degree of sharing of salivary, skin, and fecal microbiota with their environment in captivity. Both species richness and microb...

In this paper we give an enclosure for the solution of the biharmonic problem and also for its gradient and Laplacian in the L2-norm, respectively.

Mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) has shown to be an important meteorological variable in studies of human comfort and health. The Tmrt is defined as the ‘uniform temperature of an imaginary enclosure in which the radiant heat transfer from the human body equals the radiant heat transfer in the actual non-uniform enclosure’ (ASHRAE, 2001). One way to obtain Tmrt is to calculate the surface temper...

Numerical investigations are performed into the natural convection heat transfer characteristics within a wavy-wall enclosure filled with Cu-water nanofluid. In the paper, the bottom wall of the enclosure has a wavy geometry and is maintained at a constant high temperature, while the top wall is straight and is maintained at a constant low temperature. The left and right walls of the enclosure ...

Swarms of police drones, fleets of overhead delivery bots, and flocks of private security drones are set to multiply the complex interfaces between state, capital, and sense. This paper explores the military and economic enclosure of the atmosphere by drones. For centuries, capitalist enclosure has privatized and secured common spaces: territorializing new power relations into the soil. Enclosu...

Anechoic chambers are used for both emission and immunity testing but the ferrite tiles used to line the inside of the chamber are extremely expensive. This paper describes a method of reducing the number of tiles, whilst ensuring a reliable test environment. In this paper, the ray-tracing method for waves propagation is used for evaluation of the reflectivity level of an anechoic chamber, and ...

The paper presents a new enclosure method for initial value problems in systems of ordinary di erential equations. Like the common enclosure methods (eg Lohner's algorithm AWA), it is based on Taylor expansion. In contrast to them, however, it is an implicit method. The solution sets of nonlinear inequalities have to be enclosed by a Newton-like algorithm. As the presented examples show, the ne...

In this work, we are concerned with the reconstruction of the obstacles by the enclosure method using the farfield measurements in one step. To justify this, first we state the indicator function of the enclosure method linking directly the farfield pattern to the reflected solutions corresponding to the used complex geometrical optics solutions. Second, we use layer potential techniques to der...
