Malay home surroundings is varies in plants pattern as well as a variety of size. The plants speciescultivated own their particular reasons. Malay house environment is so harmony with humans, Mother Nature alsoculture relationship has visualise a unique environmental design. In this accomplishing research, it will provide anunderstanding of plants adoption of Malay house environment. Environmen...

People spend most of their time inside buildings and the indoor microbiome is a major part of our everyday environment. It affects humans' wellbeing and therefore its composition is important for use in inferring human health impacts. It is still not well understood how environmental conditions affect indoor microbial communities. Existing studies have mostly focussed on the local (e.g., buildi...

This paper presents a novel application of the Visual Servoing Platform’s (ViSP) for small UAV pose estimation in outdoor environments. Given an initial approximation for the camera position and orientation, or camera pose, ViSP automatically establishes and continuously tracks corresponding features between an image sequence and a 3D wireframe model of the environment. As ViSP has been demonst...

A technique is presented for representing linear features as probability density functions in 2D or 3D affine space. Two chief advantages of this approach are (1) a unified representation and algebra for manipulating points, lines, and planes, and (2) seamless incorporation of uncertainty information. Applications to Euclidean and non-metric scene reconstruction are presented, with results on i...

Outdoor access is an important part of organic and free-range poultry production, yet limited information exists on the effect of various housing and production systems on growth performance and colonization of food-borne pathogens. Therefore, the primary purpose of the current study was to evaluate the influence of different housing systems, particularly fixed versus small, portable houses, wi...

This paper presents a literature review on urban design indicators addressing the impact of urban geometry and vegetation on the outdoor thermal environment at the pedestrian level, as urban geometry and vegetation have been regarded as the most influential urban design factors that affect outdoor microclimate. The thermal balance concept is first introduced to elaborate how each component of e...

This paper presents a framework to detect moving objects based on the recognition of moving features in the images. The classification scheme is based on a complete probabilistic representation of feature locations that relates the vehicle motion with the visual information. Experimental evaluation under different settings in an outdoor, urban environment shows the performance of the proposed a...

Exposure to contaminants, generally called pollution, relates back to olden age when the environment was clean and free from chemicals. Knowledge of human exposure to environmental contaminants is an important component of environmental epidemiology, risk assessment, risk management, status and trends analysis. Exposure information provides a critical link between sources of contaminants, their...

The personal dose equivalent for 36 Marumori residents living in wooden houses was evaluated using optically stimulated luminescent dosemeters after the Fukushima nuclear accident. The cumulative doses to residents over 200 d from 1 September 2011 ranged from 536 to 1490 µSv. In each resident's house, the indoor and outdoor ambient dose equivalents were measured with an NaI scintillation survey...

In a preliminary study, paired indoor and outdoor air sampling was conducted at three locations around the city of Lancaster, UK to examine the influence of combustion sources on air quality by measuring particulate concentrations, particulate magnetic properties and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). With one exception (an indoor suburban air sample), outdoor air samples had higher total suspen...
