This paper investigates urban bioclimatic interventions in the central area of a coastal medium-sized city in Greece. Two urban blocks typical of the urban fabric of the city center and a neighborhood of 38 urban blocks were selected. Different proposed Bioclimatic Renewal Scenarios were investigated through microclimatic simulations using the micro-scale numerical model, ENVI-met. The simulati...

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran proses merancang bangunan tinggi mempertimbangkan aspek dalam setiap dasar pertimbangan konsep arsitektur hingga menghasilkan suatu de...

Climate is the predominant environmental driver of freshwater assemblage pattern on large spatial scales, and traits of freshwater organisms have shown considerable potential to identify impacts of climate change. Although several studies suggest traits that may indicate vulnerability to climate change, the empirical relationship between freshwater assemblage trait composition and climate has b...

Because climate has such a profound effect on the distribution and abundance of invertebrates, quantification of climatic influences on insects has been of considerable interest to entomologists for well over a century. While simple predictive models were developed early on, easier access to computers in the 1970s resulted in the development of computer based models to predict the biotic potent...

To produce intelligent bioclimatic architectural design software one must put together many different modules, such as, architectural design programs, bioclimatic design programs and expert consultation systems. The problem is very complex and many different technologies must be integrated. A first approach is to produce a module-based system, where every module provides its output to the next ...

We present a revision of Glebionis coronaria in the Mediterranean area based on: a) micro-morphology of the disc floret cypselas observed with a high-resolution confocal microscopy; b) measurements of the disc cypsela with a stereoscopic microscope - duly scaled; c) its distribution in several bioclimatic belts; d) field observations; e) comparisons of herbarium samples. Because of this study, ...

Many machine learning (ML) approaches are widely used to generate bioclimatic models for prediction of geographic range of organism as a function of climate. Applications such as prediction of range shift in organism, range of invasive species influenced by climate change are important parameters in understanding the impact of climate change. However, success of machine learning-based approache...

Objectives study: evaluate typical projects schools Soviet period, modern standards ecological construction, requirements bioclimatic comfort principles, using specified in design architectural construction d...

We present a method for visual and interactive geospatial redescription mining. The goal of geospatial redescription mining is to characterize geospatial areas using two different descriptions, such as their bioclimatic features and fauna. Indeed, one application of geospatial redescription mining is finding bioclimatic niches, i.e. explaining the distribution of species using their bioclimatic...

Correspondence analysis was applied to sand fly sampling in 865 stations from the Western Mediterranean basin. The position of each of 24 species was determined with respect to the bioclimatic belts. Thus, the multidimensional analyses manifest clear correlations between bioclimatic belts and their expression in the area, the phytosociological groupings, and vector species of visceral and cutan...
