Passive dew and fog harvesting is currently a topic that has begun to develop since the issue of climate change water crisis hit world. Even though this not new, its development been very intense lately by many researchers from various disciplines. However, yet become major conversation in world architecture. Therefore, bibliometric research was carried out, see passive related architectural sc...

Dew is an important source of water in drylands, particularly for biological soil crusts (BSCs), which are soil communities dominated by lichens, mosses and cyanobacteria that are prevalent in these environments and play important roles in nutrient cycling. While BSCs can retain and use water from dew, the effects of dew events on the cycling of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in BSC-dominated ecos...

Users derive many benefits by storing personal data in cloud computing services; however the drawback of storing data in these services is that the user cannot access his/her own data when an internet connection is not available. To solve this problem in an efficient and elegant way, we propose the cloud-dew architecture. Cloud-dew architecture is an extension of the client-server architecture....

We compare the characteristics of dew at nearly the same latitude (42° 45° N) for the Mediterranean island of Corsica (Ajaccio, France) and two continental locations (Bordeaux, France, Atlantic coastal area; Grenoble, France, Alpine valley). Dew amount was measured on a horizontal reference plate made of Polymethylmethacrylate (Plexiglas) and placed at 1 m above the ground. Data are correlated ...

Water availability is the most important limiting factor in arid lands. Any additional source of water, such as dew and fog, may have a positive impact upon the ecosystem. Dew and fog precipitation are largely dictated by weather conditions and habitat. Dew and fog measurements were carried out for 29 days in the fall of 1987–1989 at three distinctive habitats within a single drainage basin in ...

Dew computing is an emerging new research area and has great potentials in applications. In this paper, we propose a revised definition of dew computing. The new definition is: Dew computing is an on-premises computer software-hardware organization paradigm in the cloud computing environment where the on-premises computer provides functionality that is independent of cloud services and is also ...

In order to understand how nocturnal net radiative loss affects dew formation, a shielding experiment was carried out in a rice field at the International Rice Research Institute during 16 nights in February, March, and April 1994. Four plots (with an area of 4×5 m for each) in the field were used to measure the dew amount and duration in the rice crops. During each night, two of the four plots...
