In most implementations, however, ...

It takes all sorts to build a team, from creative problem solvers focused strategists and coordinators, collectively dwelling honeybees may also benefit the individual strengths of their nest mates. ‘Individuals with different abilities, some faster learn, others slower but more accurate, help group be efficient cope broad spectrum problems encountered in nature,’ says Martin Giurfa Université ...

The focus of the research is mega-block in New Belgrade built in 1960`s, before and after transformation. The aim of research was to compare the parameters of bioclimatic urban design before and after the intervention. The results show decrease due to shading and evapotranspiration of 1°C to 2°C, in the central part of communal open space and increase of temperature along the edges of the block...
