occasion of some interesting discussions, ihe first article is a " Report on the Meteorology of Abyssinia," by Surgeon Henry Cook, M.D. Dr. Cook shows that the climate of the sandy belt of country which intervenes between the sea shore and the inland hilly plateau is very different from that of the plateau itself. Tlie former resembles the climate of Scinde, consisting of a hot (very hot) and a...

Sustainable architecture is known as an important strategy in recent years and all around the world are cooperating to achieve this by use of natural elements. There are many examples of residential buildings in Iran s past and its traditional architecture that the architecture in the interim of paying attention to aesthetic issues and preserving the natural environment acts in a way that meets...

This study was carried out to investigate the egg production performance and egg quality characteristics of the indigenous ‎chickens reared in rural areas of two different climates of Isfahan province. Totally, 2160 indigenous chickens were studied in ‎this research. Two dominant climatic regions (cold and ‎hot) were determined for Isfahan province. In each climate, two towns and three villages...

this paper discusses the results of the full-scale field measurement study to investigate the most efficient application strategy of the hybrid turbine ventilator (htv) in improving the indoor thermal comfort in hot-humid tropics. the effects of three different htv application strategies performance on improving the levels of indoor air temperature, relative humidity (rh) and air velocity were ...

in addition to attention to natural light as a renewable, costless and environment-friendly source of energy in the late 20th century, numerous studies have been conducted into the effect of natural light on human being’s soul and body and all such studies reiterate the undeniable role of natural lighting on people’s behavior, attitudes, and efficiency. however, in spite of the awareness of the...

The death toll by heatstroke in Japan, especially in Kanto region, has sharply increased since 1994 together with large interannual variability. The surface air temperature and humidity observed during boreal summers of 1980-2010 were examined to understand the role of climate in the death toll. The extremely hot days, when the daily maximum temperature exceeds 35 °C, are more strongly associat...
