CCC-r chart extended approach of CCC charts, is a technique applied when nonconforming items are rarely observed. However, it is usually assumed that the inspection process is perfect in the implementation control charts imperfect inspections may have a significant impact on the performance of the control chart and setting the control limits. This paper first investigates the ...

Climate change is already affecting species worldwide, yet existing methods of risk assessment have not considered interactions between demography and climate and their simultaneous effect on habitat distribution and population viability. To address this issue, an international workshop was held at the University of Adelaide in Australia, 25-29 May 2009, bringing leading species distribution an...

The main objective of the Nigerian building sector working on achieving energy efficiency is to decrease demand buildings and thereby reduce negative implications urban development poor infrastructure people's wellbeing. One key strategies being adopted for substantial reduction in Building Energy Efficiency Guide Nigeria bioclimatic architectural design approach. Hence, intelligent buildings, ...

Abstract Renewable energy for the sustainable application in buildings are increasing day-by-day. The aim of this study is to compare flat plate and evacuated tube collectors system solar water heating urban building. two types heater systems were designed evaluated based on requirements building dwellers. F-chart method along with commercial software was used performance efficiency at an opera...

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to examine the effects four different bioclimatic predictors (current, 2050, 2070, and 2090 under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP2-4.5) non-bioclimatic variables (soil, habitat heterogeneity index, land use, slope, aspect) on suitability niche dimensions critically endangered plant species Commiphora wightii in India. We also evaluate how modelling...

In many areas of science, scientists need to find distinct common characterizations of the same objects and, vice versa, to identify sets of objects that admit multiple shared descriptions. For example, in biology, an important task is to identify the bioclimatic constraints that allow some species to survive, that is, to describe geographical regions both in terms of the fauna that inhabits th...

Université d'Aix-Marseille III, Centre de Saint-Jérôme, Laboratoire de Botanique et d'Ecologie Méditerranéenne, 13397 MARSEILLE/CEDEX 4. Abstract: Methods of classifying ecosystems have developed differently in Europe and America. Individualization of bioclimatic zones and of altitudinal levels proved most valuable, particularly the role of edaphic factors. This methodology can be associated wi...

This paper discusses the use of multiple building performance simulation tools to support the design of a state-of-the-art intelligent library building in Singapore. Building performance simulation tools that include energy analysis program, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and daylighting models are utilized throughout the design process to evaluate various proposed design schemes, to study ...
