Background:Thermal stress may have numerous harmful effects on human health. This study aimed at investigating thermal stress in the city of Kerman, Iran. Methods:In this descriptive-analytical study, thermal stress was assessed from 6 AM to 9 PM in 2016 using four thermal stress indices including wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), environmental stress index (...

The utilization of outdoor spaces is affected by their thermal environment. Wind, which determines the convective and evaporative heat loss from human body, one most influencing factors comfort. In prevailing comfort models, transfer coefficients were pre-measured on a manikin in wind tunnel, where speed was mostly stable. However, field measurements suggested that typical process over complex ...

Abstract Together, the heat island effect and air pollution pose a threat to human health well-being in urban settings. Nature-based solutions such as planting trees are mitigation strategy improve outdoor temperatures (thermal comfort) enhance quality areas. In this study, thermal comfort, particulate matter levels were compared between treeless treed areas provide better understanding of how ...

in this research paper, a 10 minute period measured wind speed data at 10 m, 30 m, and 40 m heights are presented for one of the major provinces of iran. four stations in khuzestan- abadan, hosseyneh, mahshahr, and shushtar- are analyzed to determine the potential of wind power generation in this province. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull funct...

Despite the similar performance of Bazaar1 in different cities of Iran, there are some the skeletal differences between markets in different climates. The Bazaar roof protects customers against natural events in any climate. The ceiling height and the sitting down of the Bazaar`s floor are determined based on the need for air circulation and movement in various climates. Hence, combination of a...

In this work we numerically investigate the flow conditions inside uniform and non-uniform street canyons well within atmospheric boundary layer. The numerical simulations use steady RANS method with near-wall modelling approach to simulate wall roughness at boundary. With aim of investigating both structure in broad terms, pedestrian comfort canyon between parallel buildings, test different co...

Liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis has been successfully employed in proteome research. Data generated from LC-MS equipments usually comes with a considerable amount of noise. Thus, there is a need for the use of filters to enhance the quality of mass spectrometry chromatograms. An algorithm developed recently (CODA[2]) achieves good results in removing noise...
