of gaseous pollutants on paintings installed in microclimate frames (mc-frames), and some examples of modelling results, is presented. The model can be used to study how basic design properties of microclimate frames, such as their air exchange rate, their volume and/or the inclusion of absorbers can affect the pollution fluxes to paintings inside the frames. The modelling indicated that a magn...

Wild fruits contribute significantly to food security, thus becoming an important global discussion. This study evaluated the physicochemical and nutritional properties of Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels from two microclimates in Kenya as essential contributors human diet. Analysis was done using standard methodologies including use inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometer for ele...

The improvement of the urban microclimate in densely-built central areas Mediterranean cities should be a key objective integrated and transport planning design accordance with UN Sustainable Development Goals on energy, sustainable cities, climate action. warm regions, already burdened by heat island effect, is expected to worsen further due global crisis. This study investigates performance c...

Introduction: The rooting of cuttings is a fundamental step in olive tree production. This preliminary favoured by specific environmental conditions, which demand strict and permanent control across the production system. Achieving these conditions poses major challenge for propagators. In this context, greenhouse technique best response most productive method used globally, including Mediterra...

This study focuses on the airflow and pollutant dispersion around an isolated cubical building located in a warm Mediterranean climate, taking into account local microclimate conditions (of airflow, albedo of soil, air humidity) using large-eddy simulation (LES) numerical approach. To test reliability computations, comparisons are made against SILSOE cube experimental data. Three different scen...

The microclimate environment in nursery pig house is important. In this paper an environmental control system based on PLCC for piggery was designed. In order to adjust the local microclimate environment in precise, wireless network equipments like sensors and electronic hot plates were constructed. Management operation can extend from remote user into the piggery to realize the exchange of inf...
