1. 1. Towards Better Urban Spaces in Harmony with Microclimate: Urban design and planning regulations in hot dry Damascus, Syria

   Författare :Moohammed Wasim Yahia; Boende och bostadsutveckling; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architecture; Arid zones; Built environment; Climate; Climatic design; Damascus; Hot dry regions; Landscape elements; Microclimate; Planning regulations; Thermal comfort; Thermal indices; Urban climate; Urban design; Urban planning;

   Sammanfattning : This research is an attempt to develop further understanding of the relationship between microclimate, thermal comfort, urban design and outdoor space users in the hot dry city of Damascus. This is done by studying the impact of urban regulations on microclimate in different urban design patterns in Damascus. LÄS MER

3. 2. Microclimate and Thermal Comfort of Urban Spaces in Hot Dry Damascus- Influence of urban design and planning regulations

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to develop better understanding of the relationship between microclimate and urban design in the hot dry city of Damascus. This is done by studying the impact of urban regulations on microclimate in different urban design patterns in modern Damascus. LÄS MER

4. 3. Leaf- to field-level compound effects of warm and dry conditions on crops and potential mitigating strategies

   Författare :Xiangyu Luan; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Ongoing climate change has been threatening global food security. Under climate change, increasing risk of hot and dry conditions (termed compound events) is projected in many agricultural regions. Compound events cause detrimental effects on crops, yet their effects have rarely been quantified based on modeling approach. LÄS MER

5. 4. Resilient Landscapes: socio-environmental dynamics in the Shashi-Limpopo Basin, southern Zimbabwe c. AD 800 to the present

   Författare :Munyaradze Manyanga; Paul Sinclair; Alinah Segobye; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Archaeology; Shashi-Limpopo Basin; landscapes; perceptions; floodplains; wetlands; drylands; ecology; socio-political complexity; local knowledge; climate change; seasonal variability; resilience; southern Africa; Arkeologi; arkeologi; Archaeology;

   Sammanfattning : The general perception today is that the Shashi-Limpopo Basin in southern Africa is hot and dry and not conducive to human habitation. Today there is no doubt that the Shashi-Limpopo Basin has been home to many communities throughout the pre-historical period. LÄS MER

7. 5. Studies of Gas Turbines Combustion Chambers: Use of New Fuels and Development of New Tools

   Författare :Christophe Duwig; Strömningsteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; applied thermodynamics; Thermal engineering; Flamelets; LES; CFD; Gas Turbine; Combustion;

   Sammanfattning : The growing world electricity demand and environmental concerns pushes toward new technology for electricity production. Within the thermal processes for electricity production, two axis of research are being developed to meet the needs of the industry, namely using renewable fuels and new generation burners technology.
