In the last decades, researchers have been considering some fundamental issues such as energy saving, global warming, greenhouse emissions, and non-renewable to make models of house environmental standards achieve a suitable consumption pattern for saving energy. architecture, using natural is one essential pillars design because it was criteria designing, which considered on climate geography,...

Complex matrix model of data and knowledge representation is proposed for solution of a road-climatic zoning of the territories problem using an intelligent system. This model consists of: 1) an extended matrix model, which includes extended description and distinguishing matrices (the extension is realized by the way of including of additional columns into the description matrix) for the terri...

Kerala is a strip of land on the southwest coast of India lying between Arabian Sea on thewest andWestern Ghats on the east. The traditional architecture of Kerala is known for its use of natural and passivemethods for a comfortable indoor environment. However, it has not been proved by a detailed and quantitative evaluation method so far. A field study was thus conducted in the winter and summ...

Constructed upon a height (by footing) or breaking in to the ground, in a building, making a close relation between earth and soil is of great importance. In addition, earth as a prior factor in creation of a shade and residence, plays a crucial role in architecture history. Throughout the different area, earth is paid attention differently: as a source of cool (in China), a source of heat (Cap...

BACKGROUND Although some authors have suggested that there is some seasonal periodicity of hemoptysis, or relation to respiratory tract infections, the association of influenza or climatic parameters with hemoptysis has been poorly investigated. Our aim was to describe the relationship between influenza and climatic parameters with severe hemoptysis that required bronchial artery embolization (...

Organisms face continual fluctuations in global climatic processes to which they must adapt or perish. Considering that many species are key habitat formers and energy producers, such responses to climate change can have significant population, community and even ecosystem consequences. Paleo-records of ecosystem responses to past environmental variability have proven invaluable for studying im...
