BACKGROUND Coastal landscapes are being transformed as a consequence of the increasing demand for infrastructures to sustain residential, commercial and tourist activities. Thus, intertidal and shallow marine habitats are largely being replaced by a variety of artificial substrata (e.g. breakwaters, seawalls, jetties). Understanding the ecological functioning of these artificial habitats is key...

Several authors have successfully created and employed vintage cohorts and housing typologies in research addressing energy renovation needs in the existing dwelling stock. This paper suggests that the idea of types would be useful in creating living quality related renovation and adaptation concepts for homes as well. Such concepts could be used for increasing accessibility and individuality o...

Much attention has been paid to hospitals environments since modern pandemics have emerged. The building sector is considered to be the largest world energy consumer, so many global organizations are attempting to create a sustainable environment in building construction by reducing energy consumption. Therefore, maintaining high standards of hygiene while reducing energy consumption has become...

Pasture renovation entails introduction of desirable forage species, usually legumes such as red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.) or birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), into a grass dominated pasture. A commonly used method of pasture renovation consists in drilling seeds into the grass sod (sod-seeding). Introduced legumes benefit the pasture in three w...

We transpose a conservative extension theorem from structured operational semantics to conditional term rewriting. The result is useful for the development of software renovation factories, and for modular speci cation of abstract data types.
