We present methodology, algorithms and software for evaluating flow and view for architectural settlement layouts. For a given settlement layout consisting of a number of buildings arbitrarly positioned on a piece of land, in the present study an island situated on the west coast of Sweden, the methodology allows for evaluation of flow patterns and for evaluating the view experienced from the b...

Reef-building species form discrete patches atop soft sediments, and reef restoration often involves depositing solid material as a substrate for larval settlement and growth. There have been few theoretical efforts to optimize the physical characteristics of a restored reef patch to achieve high recruitment rates. The delivery of competent larvae to a reef patch is influenced by larval behavio...

Climate change has the potential to have many significant impacts on aeroallergens such as pollen and mould spores, and therefore related diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. This paper critically reviews this topic, with a focus on the potential adaptation measures that have been identified to date. These are aeroallergen monitoring; aeroallergen forecasting; allergenic plant managem...
