Objectives: To analyze Transcultural Landscapes defined by Public Space and Bioclimatic Architecture of African Brazilians Indigenous Cultures. architecture from native ethnic groups added to Africans who came the country as slaves. Such Brazilian tropical is characterized moving away not only usual constructive methods, but also a characteristic western culture aggressiveness towards nature. T...

This paper designs a reliability distribution network with limited capacity under partial and complete facility disruptions. To increase the reliability of the distribution network, a new mixed integer linear programing model is developed by considering multiple mitigation strategies including diversification, fortification, and transshipment. The distribution network constitutes of reliable di...

The main objective of the Nigerian building sector working on achieving energy efficiency is to decrease demand buildings and thereby reduce negative implications urban development poor infrastructure people's wellbeing. One key strategies being adopted for substantial reduction in Building Energy Efficiency Guide Nigeria bioclimatic architectural design approach. Hence, intelligent buildings, ...

The living performance in sustainable development outline contributing factors towards efficiency, such as ecological, economic, health, and social integration. of facade design must be emphasised to describe resilient access mitigate the post-coronavirus disease (COVID-19) housing. spread pandemic underlines importance providing quality life wellbeing building environment, hence highlighting a...

ANUCLIM (Xu and Hutchinson, 2011) is a software package used to support the spatial modelling of environmental and natural resources. It enables users to readily obtain estimates, in point and grid form, of monthly, seasonal and annual mean climate variables from supplied elevation dependent monthly mean climate surfaces and an underlying digital elevation model. The climate surfaces are derive...

Bioclimatic envelope models of species' responses to climate change are used to predict how species will respond to increasing temperatures. These models are frequently based on the assumption that the northern and southern boundaries of a species' range define its thermal niche. However, this assumption may be violated if populations are adapted to local temperature regimes and have evolved po...

Aim To analyse the effects of nine species trait variables on the accuracy of bioclimatic envelope models built for 98 butterfly species. Location Finland, northern Europe. Methods Data from a national butterfly atlas monitoring scheme (NAFI) collected from 1991–2003 with a resolution of 10 × 10 km were used in the analyses. Generalized additive models (GAMs) were constructed for 98 butterfly s...

Drought will reduce global crop production by >10% in 2050 substantially worsening global malnutrition. Breeding for resistance to drought will require accessing crop genetic diversity found in the wild accessions from the driest high stress ecosystems. Genome-environment associations (GEA) in crop wild relatives reveal natural adaptation, and therefore can be used to identify adaptive variatio...

The need for efficient buildings to contribute sustainable development has led the proposal of goals and regulations in different countries linked net zero energy objectives, following approaches specific their regions. Such are not yet developed a developing country such as Panama. Thus, this study develops first framework Zero Energy Districts (ZED) Panama based on passive active solutions th...
