Reduced growth in utero has been associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease and hypertension. The rising rates of coronary heart disease in India are not explained by the prevalence of risk factors such as high blood pressure, hypercholesterolaemia, smoking or obesity. The fetal origins hypothesis may therefore be particularly relevant to India. Studies conducted at the Holdswo...

Outdoor thermal conditions influence the quality of life in urban commons. Urban vegetation is an effective way to improve pedestrian comfort tropics as it provides shade, reduces surface heating, improves air quality, and human health. The primary objective this study understand correlation between Sky View Factor (SVF) modifications Outdoor Thermal Comfort (OTC) that could ...

The fetal origins hypothesis asserts that nutrient deprivation in utero can raise an individual's chronic disease risk. Within economics, this hypothesis has gained acceptance as a leading explanation for the cross-sectional correlations between birthweight, a proxy for fetal nutrient intake, and adult outcomes such as educational attainment, earnings and health. However, tests of this hypothes...

Abstract Based on the sector, public buildings construction will become rapid development. Thus, good planning is needed to achieve a green and sustainable building. The necessity of well-planned campus required in establishing new study program. UBB has typical design layout. It apprehensive that ineffective concept have negative impact waste energy. This aims evaluate building terms assessing...

Cities are highly vulnerable areas affected by climate change. For sustainable urbanization, it is of great importance to determine the thermal conditions in cities and make predictions for future. Therefore, this study, spatial distribution comfort city Diyarbakır, located southeastern Turkey, during hot period year explained future made. In measurement data from meteorological stations SSP-2 ...

This study investigated the role of urban geometry and shading in improving pedestrians’ thermal comfort hot climate Ahvaz, Iran. Six canyons are selected Ahvaz. To determine outdoor range, micrometeorological measurements questionnaire survey were conducted July 2018. ENVI-met is used to investigate shadings. evaluate comfort, physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) calculated using RayMa...

In order to measure the effect on the attention of teenagers of thermal discomfort due to high temperature and humidity, two experiments were conducted in two different indoor conditions of temperature and humidity in non-air-conditioned classrooms. The participants were a heterogeneous group of 117 teenagers, aged 12 to 18 years, and the experiments reproduced the actual conditions of teaching...

The Waterfront trail is a crucial outdoor activity area for urban residents, but the increasing high temperature in summer has negatively affected quality of activities. To address this issue, article examines relationship between spatial form waterfront trails and thermal comfort, using West Lake Hangzhou as an example. Seven spaces were selected study, six structure parameters three climatic ...

In hot, arid regions on university campuses, students are more vulnerable to heat stresses than in street canyons terms of function; however, the knowledge impact built environments thermal performance is still lacking. two summer and winter days, shading effect existing urban trees pattern a campus Egypt was examined correlate their Sky View Factor (SVF) with environment, meteorology, Physiolo...

The classical game of peg solitaire has uncertain origins, but was certainly popular by the time of Louis XIV, and was described by Leibniz in 1710. One of the classical problems concerning peg solitaire is the feasibility issue. An early tool used to show the infeasibility of various peg games is the rule-of-three [Suremain de Missery 1841]. In the 1960s the description of the solitaire cone [...
