Settlements, and in particular cities, are at the center of key future challenges related to global change sustainable development. Widely used indicators assess efficiency sustainability settlement development compactness density built-up area. However, scale, a temporally consistent spatially detailed survey distribution concentration building stock – meaning total area volume buildings withi...

Field studies demonstrate that the population structure of the barnacle Balanus glandula differs between locations of high and low larval settlement rate. These observations, together with results from a model for the demography of an open, space-limited population, suggest that the settlement rate may be a more important determinant of rocky intertidal community structure than is presently rea...

Traditional Balinese Architecture is known for its extensive rules at both, the microscopic and the macroscopic level, ranging from the design of entire villages to single building elements. These rules are preserved in century old palm leaves, so-called lontars, and were put into practice by the Undagi (traditional “architect”) according to the needs of the owner of the building who provides t...

Over the past decade the most popular design for high-value payment systems has changed, reflecting market needs and the concerns of central banks for systemic stability. Before 1990 most systems were designed on a deferred net settlement (DNS) basis but since then almost all major countries have moved to Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) systems for high-value payments. They are now used widel...

Larval settlement in the fouling polychaete Hydroides elegans Haswell (1883) is mediated by natural biofilms, a complex consortium of marine bacteria, benthic diatoms, protozoa, fungi and adsorbed organic matter. Currently, the inductive effect of natural biofilms on larval settlement is attributed to the bacterial component. In this paper, we present results of an investigation of the diatom c...

Groundwater lowering is a method of stabilizing landslide slopes. To date, the effect water reduction on technical condition buildings has not been sufficiently studied. This may negatively affect due to development additional deformation foundations and foundation soils. Purpose : The aim this work assess impact cased hole with filters in area groundwater lowering. Methodology/approach Long-te...

In the construction process of high-rise buildings, it is necessary to predict settlement and deformation foundation, current prediction methods are mainly based on empirical theoretical calculations more accurate numerical analysis methods. face interference complex ever-changing terrain parameter values methods, in order accurately determine building foundations, this study designed a smart c...
