regional impact studies of the future climate change effects are necessary because projected changes in meteorological variables differ from one region to another, and different climate systems can react in varied ways to the same changes. in this study, the effects of climate change on bioclimatic deficiency were compared in two cultivation methods (irrigated and rainfed) in a semi-arid region...

Subtropical south-east Queensland’s expanding population is expected to lead to a demand for an additional 754,000 dwellings by 2031. A legacy of poor housing design, minimal building regulations, an absence of building performance evaluation and various social and market factors has lead to a high and growing penetration of, and reliance on, air-conditioners to provide comfort in this relative...

The modern landscape of a large city is complex, dynamically changing environment with constant influence environmental, social and economic factors. gradual historical development the territory change in urban processes led to formation containing mixed-type areas, i.e. border territories separate zones - industrial, residential, intermediate. In Russia, improvement coastal cities has become a...

In order to address energy efficiency issues in the building sector, we conducted this study which focuses on optimization of mechanical characteristics Typha concrete for its use load-bearing structures buildings. The fact that buildings are very energy-intensive makes it essential develop new forms construction based bioclimatic architecture and valorization certain materials considered as wa...

Avian species are commonly infected by multiple parasites, however few studies have investigated the environmental determinants of the prevalence of co-infection over a large scale. Here we believe that we report the first, detailed ecological study of the prevalence, diversity and co-infections of four avian blood-borne parasite genera: Plasmodium spp., Haemoproteus spp., Leucocytozoon spp. an...
