Urban planning and the creation of a comfortable green environment are two integral components sustainable urban development. Modern cities face many challenges related to pollution, limited resources lack space. However, development can help solve these problems. In addition, aims create compact convenient environments. This approach allows reducing traffic flows, using less energy for constru...

The paper analyzes the requirements of international standards for parameters that determine comfortable working conditions in office premises, particular when with computer. It has been proposed to microclimate premises by four and it is shown one promising methods a method based on calculation two indicators specify degree comfort, taking into account potential consumers. application approach...

Abstract The article deals with the question of extent to which urban microclimate determines state comfort environment. To determine environment, criterion Dutch urbanist Jan Gel is used. discusses spatial and temporal scales microclimatic phenomena notes that main characteristics are variability. Specific examples demonstrate how can affect possibilities contained in regulatory documents for ...

The image perception in humans depends on many factors. One of the most important ones is certainly the observing distance. The distance from which human look at the images is important for studying image perception in general and in particular on display devices. This paper describes a method of measurement of the preferred observing distance among humans of different age, sex, etc. under cont...

In this letter, we propose a novel approach to speech enhancement, which incorporates a new criterion based on residual noise shaping. In the proposed approach, our goal is to make the residual noise perceptually comfortable instead of making it less audible. A predetermined ‘comfort noise’ is provided as a target for the spectral shaping. Based on some assumptions, the resulting spectral gain ...
