Thermal insulation is one of the most effective methods reducing energy consumption in buildings. Therefore, parameters influencing optimum thickness are widely investigated. In this study, obtained using life cycle analysis method and genetic algorithm by considering size heating cooling systems as an optimization variable, which has not been addressed earlier researches. Furthermore, effect c...

Hydrological processes and their spatial distribution directly are relevant to climate, topography, geology, and land use in the watershed. Therefore, use of a model whit integrity and high performance for simulating the process in deferent watersheds is very important. In this study was assessment performance of semi-distributed SWAT model in simulating hydrology processes in three watersheds ...

Energy efficiency in office buildings for the tropical climate has been a subject of much discussion in the building industry. The Malaysia Energy Commission Sustainable Building, also known as the Diamond Building was built as the third Government Energy Efficient building after the Low Energy Office (LEO) and the Green Energy Office (GEO). It is located in Putrajaya, Malaysia which has a hot ...

[1] The enhancement of infiltration capacity in the presence of vegetation is well documented in arid ecosystems where it can significantly impact the water balance and vegetation spatial organization. To begin progress toward developing a theory of vegetation‐infiltration interactions across a wide spectrum of climate regimes, three key questions are addressed: (1) Does vegetation also enhance...

background: aquatic insects are very abundant and divers groups of insects that are associated with an aquatic or semiaquatic environment in one or more of their life stages. these insects have been, in some cases, well studied because they are vectors of several diseases. this is the first comprehensive faunistic study of aquatic insects from babol county. the results may provide basic data fo...

r a 200 .022 : +1 210 [email protected] Summary Surface representation of the root-zone soil moisture is investigated so that feasibility of using optical remote sensing techniques to indirectly map root-zone soil moisture is assessed. Specifically, covariation of root-zone soil moisture with the normalized difference of vegetation index (NDVI) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) ...

Based on the data from China’s second national soil survey and field observations in northwest China, we estimated soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in China and investigated its spatial and vertical distribution. China’s SOC storage in a depth of 1 meter was estimated as 69.1 Pg (10 g), with an average density of 7.8 kg m. About 48% of the storage was concentrated in the top 30 cm. The SOC den...
