BACKGROUND This study investigated the microclimatic behavior of different land cover types in urban parks and, the correlation between air temperature and land cover composition to understand how land cover affects outdoor thermal environment during hot summer. METHODS To address this issue, air temperatures were measured on four different land cover types at four observation sites inside an...

Designer 2000 project is presented. Designer 2000 system will support a systematic probabilistic design of LQG adaptive multidimensional controllers based on ARX model. The project goal is to improve the accessibility of already available tools. This is achieved mainly by incorporating available knowledge into the system and by a careful object-oriented computer-aided design of the system and e...

This paper discusses a workshop method suitable for use in projects with a participatory design approach. Participatory design is sometimes criticised for focusing too much on what users say. The method described here takes that into account by having users not only talk, but also do acting and make lo-fi prototypes. The method has been used in several different projects. The structure of the w...

Based on the associated network of passenger and freight transport in New Western Land-Sea Corridor, structure characteristics different years are analyzed using volume volume, resilience is disturbance model. Finally, coordinated development logistics discussed by applying a coupling coordination The results show that, from 2000 to 2018, Corridor has realized evolution spatial pattern “two cen...

This study presents an integrated model and its solution algorithm for freeway corridor control during incident management. With a parallel arterial as the detour route, the proposed model aims to produce the optimal diversion rates from the freeway mainline to relieve the congestion at the incident segment, and concurrently adjust signal timings at the arterial intersections to best accommodat...

CH4 column over the Amazon can occur some months prior to the peak in the water table (the measure used to characterise the ’wetland’). The parameterisation is then applied globally and used in the GEOS-CHEM atmospheric chemistry model. This work is highly relevant as many of the leading land surface models (e.g., the US Community Land Model (Riley et al., 2011), the Joint UK Land Environment S...

land use planning, refers to how to use, distribute and protect the land. this type of planning can be considered from different perspectives, such as sustainable development perspective view is one of important land use views. in this paper we have tried to study and evaluate the land use change of maragheh city from sustainable development perspective, and study the harmony or disharmony with...
