In recent years, the growing awareness of the possibilities of biomimetic and adaptive materials in architecture has assumed a fundamental importance in the scientific domain, for the high performance of the building facades from an... more
Conventional and integrated fruit growers, but not organic producers, have the possibility to use thinning agents (e.g. benzyl adenine), which allow crop regulation at a relatively late stage (10-16 mm fruit size). A few surveys have... more
This paper discusses thermal surface performance on front facades of high-rise apartments in Malaysia built with early modern style. Early modern style apartments were popular from the 1950s to 1970s using mass produced and fast... more
O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a capacidade de brotação de cepas de teca sob regime de talhadia composta. O experimento foi implantado nos espaçamentos 3,0 × 2,0 m e 3,0 × 3,0 m. Aos 8 anos de idade, o experimento foi desbastado... more

As concomitants to developments and globalization, Indian modernism witnessed unprecedented socioeconomic and lifestyle benefits on the one hand, and adaptation to high-energy habitats and lifestyle, and subsequent degradation of the... more
The Original techniques and processes of Kerala Mural Art Painting as Explained by KK Warrier. The original techniques are detailed in an ancient text called "Chitrasutram" which is part of 'Vishnudharmottara Puranam'. These original... more
1.Excessive nutrient discharge, linked to human activities, is one of the main causes of the decline of seagrass meadows since it modifies two essential parameters controlling their primary production: the nutrient concentrations... more
Solar panels are gaining importance as a major alternate source of energy in the prevailing condition of depleting non renewable energy sources. Photovoltaic (PV) modules are being increasingly used in large as well as small scale... more
Purpose – Exterior shading devices and dynamic shading systems constitute an efficient way to improve energy efficiency and occupants’ comfort in buildings through the reduction of direct solar heat gains and disturbing glare. The purpose... more
The measured and forecasted changes in climate have an immediate influence on the planning of buildings and building services. The requirements toward the energy efficiency of buildings is increasing. Due to rising temperatures, the... more
Shading affects outdoor thermal environments and, therefore, influences the thermal perceptions of people in outdoor spaces. Since most field studies examining outdoor thermal comfort merely elucidated characteristics measured on a... more
The research involves studying the qualities of window films. Biomimicry is applied in the conceptualization of a solution for the design of the window film. Standard window films are installed to mitigate penetration of the sun’s... more
Geometry processing applications frequently rely on octree structures, since they provide simple and efficient hierarchies for discrete data. However, octrees do not guarantee direct continuous interpolation of this data inside its nodes.... more
When the GPV is under partial shading, several peaks appear in the characteristic P-V, namely a GMP and one or more local maximums. The classical algorithm 'P&O' MPPT cannot converge on the GMP for low irradiation values and is trapped by... more
Accumulation of dust on the surface of the solar panels is a natural phenomenon. These accumulated dust particles act as an obstrucle and obstruct the rays from reaching the panel. These particles act as external resistance. The amount of... more
(1) Background: considering multiple, and somehow conflicting, design objectives can potentially make achieving a high-performance design a complex task to perform. For instance, shading devices can dramatically affect the building... more
Energy conservation issues and environmental problems in recent years have increased interest in traditional architecture which is well known for its energy saving designs. This paper thoroughly investigates vernacular housing designs and... more
