Late Quaternary Caspian: Sea-Levels, Environments and Human Settlement

This paper is focused on the discussion of the exact age, and environmental setting of the ‘Khvalynian’ Transgression of the Caspian Sea with the use of novel radiometric, isotopic evidence and GIS-linked modelling. Based on this evidence the Khvalynian transgression is viewed as coeval with the warm Late Glacial episodes in the higher latitudes, reaching its peak at 13.6 11.8 ka. During that p...

Agents and Their Environments

The world itself is a very complex place for architecture agents to act in. The real world is partially observable, stochastic, sequential, dynamic and continuous. Most architecture is designed to only deal with fractions of the total possible environmental complexity by acting in particular domains. For example, some architecture assumes that the world is static and that the only things that c...

Aspergillus species in indoor environments and their possible occupational and public health hazards

Abstract The genus Aspergillus, which consists of a few hundred opportunistic mold species found in various climatic conditions, causes diseases including localized infections, fatal diseases, allergic responses, and inhaled conidia in humans. Herein, we present an overview of the most common diseases and allergic infections caused by Aspergillus species and their associated health hazards ...

Lenticular Galaxies and Their Environments

It is widely believed that lenticular (S0) galaxies were initially spirals from which the gas has been removed by interactions with hot cluster gas, or by rampressure stripping of cool gas from spirals that are orbiting within rich clusters of galaxies. However, problems with this interpretation are that: (1) Some lenticulars, such as NGC 3115, are isolated field galaxies rather than cluster me...
