This paper is a part of study about the impact of the microclimate on the space use and the user’s behaviours. The purpose of our study is to get an in-depth understanding of how people use out door public spaces in different climatic conditions, how their behaviour and perception of the space change with the climatic variations. We have employed a multi-method approach which combines a “qualit...

The Chapter gives strong emphasis to the importance of spatial transformation in addressing concerns with poverty and inequality. It argues that “where people live and work matters” and that “despite reforms to the planning system, co...

soilless media have different physical properties. change in air space of mix substrate can cause change in fertigation management and plant growth and yield. physical properties (water holding capacity, effective air-filled pore space, effective pore space) of 50 mixed substrates were measured to evaluate the effect of air-filled pore space on growth of tomato transplant and it's water us...

A new organizational entity has emerged at research universities: the technology transfer office (TTO). TTOs were established to facilitate commercial knowledge transfers from universities to practitioners or university/industry technology transfer (UITT). Despite the potential importance of UITT in fostering technological diffusion and as a source of revenue to the university, there has been l...

Today, interesting and important interconnections have been made that promise great leaps forward for innovation systems and entrepreneurial ecosystems especially operating at the regional or sub-national level of the space economy. Of course, there are politics in such relationships. Most notable are those that are critical of anything that “interferes” with market hegemony (neoliberal bias) w...
