Many species of large herbivore rely on agricultural land for their feeding habitats, but available food resources are highly variable in space and time. The conservation management farmland-dependant herbivores would therefore benefit from predictions about how will respond to changes environment. We developed an individual-based model (IBM) provide such three overwintering avian that feed lan...

External shading devices are an important design feature in tropical buildings, particularly for climate mitigation. However, the interaction between depth and elevation of their impact on indoor daylight performance is not fully understood, especially case buildings with bilateral openings. This study therefore aims to evaluate possibilities external various terms school classrooms openings In...

In this paper, parametric statistical modelling of distributions of colour camera data is discussed. A review is provided with some analysis of the properties of some common models, which are generally based on an assumption of independence of the chromaticity and intensity components of colour data. Results of an empirical comparison of the performance of various models are also reviewed. Thes...

The Smart City concept arises from the need to provide more intelligent and optimized applications for the development of future urban centers. Traffic monitoring including surveillance is becoming a problem as cities are getting larger and crowded with vehicles. Intelligent video applications for outdoor scenarios need for good quality, stable and robust signal in every moment or climate condi...

Current research on the relationship between daylight and well-being has shown that access to plays a relevant role both in terms of light perception with respect physiological mechanisms not directly related vision. The aim this paper is analyze changes reported responses, represented case by skin temperature participants ( n = 16) across three seasons (winter, spring summer seasons) temperate...
