From our smartwatch we get the result will be the person can send the notification and the particular person will be receive the notification. With the information we obtain from our smartwatch, we can determine who will receive and who will send notifications. The major goal of adding that function or application to our smartwatch is to notify someone that we are missing them. We use the smartwatch since we can always take it with us. We have added a new function or application to our smartwatch so that if someone is missing, another person will be notified that they are missing them. In our project, a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connection is made between a smartphone and a smartwatch. We can use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to send someone a notification that we are looking for them by using their smartwatch's IP address. The smartwatch will first check our smartphone contact information before we can choose a contact's name from the contact list.

Authors: Christian Layth  , Nabeel Al-Rawi  , Alpen Adria
Published: October 2022

IoT technology is useful for chicken farming to control the condition of the farm concerning some problems such as odour, temperature fluctuations and feeding time system. This study used MQ135 to detect ammonia odour level, DHT11 to check room temperature, and RTC3231 to regulate feeding time. The data obtained from the sensor was sent by wemos to the fire base and MySQL to be read on android so that it can be monitored directly by the breeder. When the ammonia level is above normal it will turn on the odour fan. If  DHT11 reaches the value above 300C, it will turn on the cooling fan, and turn on the heating light when the temperature is below 250C. As RTC3231 sets the time at 07.00 and 14.00, the chicken feeder will automatically open to feed the chickens according to the time set. Table 1 and 2 show that the experiment obtained a value of 100% working well. This study succeeded in monitoring environmental conditions through Android and executing automatic feeding at the predetermined time. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of IoT technology for monitoring and feeding system automation  in chicken farms is highly recommended.

An efficient hybrid approach for medical images enhancement
Authors: Saroj Sushil Kumar
Published: October 2022

Medical images have various critical usages in the field of medical science and healthcare engineering. These images contain information about many severe diseases. Health professionals identify various diseases by observing the medical images. Quality of medical images directly affects the accuracy of detection and diagnosis of various diseases. Therefore, quality of images must be as good as possible. Different approaches are existing today for enhancement of medical images, but quality of images is not good. In this literature, we have proposed a novel approach that uses principal component analysis (PCA), multi-scale switching morphological operator (MSMO) and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) methods in a unique sequence for this purpose. We have conducted exhaustive experiments on large number of images of various modalities such as MRI, ultrasound, and retina. Obtained results demonstrate that quality of medical images processed by proposed approach has significantly improved and better than other existing methods of this field.

Published: October 2022

Os radares FM (Frequency Modulated) LPI (Low Probability of Intercept), ao contrário dos radares convencionais,transmitem um sinal de longa duração ou contínuo, com baixa potência, usando modulação causal. Estas características do radar LPI o tornam virtualmente invisível a receptores RWR (Radar Warning Receivers) e de MAGE (Medidas de Apoio à Guerra Eletrônica) convencionais. Muitos estudos no campo da Guerra Eletrônica (GE) estão sendo desenvolvidos a fim de lidar com esta vantagem do radar LPI. Uma abordagem promissora é o emprego de equipamentos MAGE com métodos de Transformada Tempo-Frequência para encontrar causalidade no espectro do ruído. Este artigo aplica a Wavelet Packets Transform (WPT) ao problema da caracterização do espectro eletromagnético, visando o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para classiﬁcação automática. A caracterização tempo-frequência de sinais radar FM LPI obtida através da WPT é comparada àquela obtida através da Distribuição de Choi-Williams (Choi-Williams Distribuiton - CWD) e da Transformada de Fourier de Tempo Curto (Short-Time Fourier Transform - STFT).

Published: October 2022

In 2019, the Commonwealth of Learning (CoL) invited proposals for participation in the Skills in Demand (SID) project. The model of the project involved the identification of skills that are in demand and partnerships were encouraged between training institutions and industry partner who met the criteria. Luanshya Technical and Business College (LTBC) partnered with the Nakadoli Furniture Cooperative (NFC) on the Copperbelt Province in Kitwe and submitted its proposal which was successful. This was followed by a visit by the then CoL Education Specialist Mrs. Terry Neal who visited LTBC and the NFC to appreciate the existing situation. Mrs. Neal also conducted a project design workshop where the problems to be solved were identified, skills to be developed were determined, learner’s personas were established and the learner journey was mapped out. The project plan was then drawn which also identified the stakeholders who would be critical to the success of the project. // A contribution agreement was drawn between the CoL and LTBC for the implementation of the project. The project is funded by the CoL with LTBC as the implementers in conjunction with master craftsperson’s from the NFC. The project involved a number of factors that promote inclusive learning using basic technology such as the mobile phones and laptops as well as the Raspberry pi, a gadget which provides free internet access for the Moodle lessons uploaded on in. LTBC is developing the open education resources for the CoL while CoL has provided the Moodle platform, consultants, the raspberry Pi and other support services to LTBC. LTBC was responsible for the recruitment and enrollment of ten (10) master craftsperson’s and 50 apprentices to participate in the work base training at the NFC. // The main outcomes of the project covered a range of areas including inclusive access and use of technology for all participants in the project. It also aims to promote gender inclusion and equity in technical skills training especially for the women and youth. The baseline study that was conducted revealed that most of the would-be participants in the project live below the poverty line. The is the hope of LTBC and the CoL that the Skills in Demand Project will result into reduced poverty through increased sales revenues, increased household income, reduced gender discrimination in the furniture industry, increased employment especially after graduation as well as increased registration of businesses for youths and women.

Authors: Tan-Recep Berra Zümrüt
Published: October 2022

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a disease characterized by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor. Total cholesterol levels >500 mg/dL and low-density lipoprotein levels >350 mg/dL are associated with early atherosclerosis. In these patients, the incidence of coronary artery disease is high in the first decade of life, and it often emerges in adolescence. Herein, we present a 14-year-old female with familial hypercholesterolemia who underwent left main coronary artery osteoplasty with a pulmonary autograft due to an incidentally detected osteal stenosis of the left main coronary artery. The patient was discharged without any problems, and no problems were detected during the follow-up.

Authors: CHAUHAN J S , CHOUDHURY P R , PAL S , SINGH K H
Published: October 2022

Oilseeds in India accounted for 15.7% of the total arable land during 2017-18. The present paper discusses oilseeds and vegetable oil scenario in India; seed chain, current status of quality seed and strategies for seed production & development to enhance oilseeds output through bridging the vast untapped potential of the available technologies to reduce heavy dependence on oil imports. Of the nine annual oilseeds, groundnut, soybean, rapeseed-mustard and sesame during the last seven years (2012-13 to 2018-19) contributed 89.2-94.4% to acreage and 90.4%-95.0% to production of oilseeds. The area, production and yield of oilseeds attained an overall increase of 131.1%, 510.9% and 164.2%, respectively, from 1950-51 to 2018-19. Of the several programmes initiated to harness the vast exploitable yield reservoir of oilseeds, National Mission on Agricultural Extension and Technology launched during XII plan and Mega seed project during 2005-06, had great impact on enhanced availability of quality seed of newly released varieties and thus production of oilseeds. Considering annual growth of demand for edible oil, population growth and the per capita consumption of about 102.3 m t of oilseeds would be required by 2030. To meet this formidable challenge, the assets such as vibrant crop specific improvement programmes, 187 newly released high yielding varieties, improved crop management technologies, robust and effective seed chain and climate favouring seed production of diverse oilseeds are available in the country.

Published: October 2022

Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (Xcc) is one of the most destructive diseases of citrus. We investigated the citrus canker disease management in Experimental Farm of AAU, Jorhat, Assam (2017-19) using three microbial bioformulations, viz. Biogreen-5 (Combination of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus thuringiensis, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Trichoderma viride), Bioveer (Trichoderma viride) and Biosona (Beauveria bassiana) in Assam lemon (Citrus limon L. Burm. f ) as a test crop, a premier commercial citrus cultivar of Assam. These bioformulations were observed highly effective in suppressing citrus canker incidence and enhancing fruit yield. Biogreen-5 applied as soil application as well as foliar spray showed maximum reduction in canker incidence (35.55-20.96%) coupled with an enhanced fruit yield (12.43-41.93%). Enhancement of the population count of phylloplane as well as rhizosphere microbes were conspicuously observed in plants treated with microbial bioformulations, offering an environmentally benign alternative of canker management of Assam lemon.

Published: October 2022

The crop loss assessment in the present study is based on the premise that yield loss caused by maize stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) depends upon the degree of leaf injury measured in the form of leaf injury rating (LIR) that would help in adopting management measures at appropriate time to prevent the loss. The yield of large number of individual plants in two popular maize hybrids, i.e. HQPM1 and DHM117 was recorded at all leaf injury ratings at ICAR-Indian Institute of Maize Research, Pusa Campus, New Delhi. With increasing LIR, the average yield of plants decreased. A set of formula was developed to calculate yield loss, yield loss percentage and monetary loss. A template to calculate the same was formulated in excel sheet by entering input data on LIR scores, average yield at LIR, frequency of plants under each LIR, yield potential of test cultivars and market price of maize grain. The template gives output on yield loss percentage due to C. partellus damage and the corresponding economic loss by entering frequency of plants under each LIR, yield potential of cultivar and the current market price of grain. By comparing economic loss with the management cost, the economic threshold level can be determined which is an essential prerequisite for robust integrated pest management. After the harvest, by deducting actual yield from the expected yield (C. partellus yield loss), the loss caused by other factors is also calculated by the template.

Published: October 2022

The study was carried out during 2019 to determine the resource use efficiency and constraints faced in kharif maize growers in Karnal and Yamunanagar districts of Haryana. The experiment was conducted by surveying 60 maize cultivators selecting 30 respondents from each i.e. Karnal and Yamunanagar districts. Maize growers were personally interacted to extract relevant information. Cobb- Douglas production function was used to determine the resource use efficiency of maize cultivation to find out the most significant factor which influences the respondent; Henry Garrett's (1969) ranking technique was used. For optimal allocation of resource, it was observed that all the inputs in both the districts were less than unity, which indicates that all these inputs were over utilized in the respective district. It reflects that all the inputs were over utilized and use of these inputs needs to be curtailed to attain higher returns. Major constraints were watch and ward required to protect the crop from stray animals, lack of availability of suitable machines for threshing of maize, lack of availability of maize dryers and lack of availability of quality seed of recommended maize hybrids as specified by the maize growers.

Arthropod diversity indices in floricultural ecosystem: Which fares better?
Authors: RAMYA R S , KUMAR M GANESH , RANJITH M , BAJYA D R
Published: October 2022

Biodiversity being a multidimensional property is always considered as tough to measure or quantify mostly because of the assortment of indices recommended for this purpose. However, there is no agreement about which indices are more appropriate and informative. Arthropods are one of the groups that have evaded the knowledge of human beings of their role in ecosystem function. We used data collected from floricultural ecosystems of rose, jasmine and cockâ€™s comb fields during 2016 in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and calculated common arthropod diversity indices of species richness and species dominance in ordinal, familial and species level. The aim was to find out whether surrogacy is possible as far as arthropod diversity analyses are concerned and to determine whether some were better suited than others. In the present study, it was found that in most of the cases, irrespective of the index used, estimating species richness based on family level presented a closer picture to that of species level analysis, but could not totally replicate the sensitivity reflected by species level classification. Of the three dominance indices, only the Simpson's index discriminated the variation at all the three levels, viz. ordinal, familial and species with the discrimination being more pronounced at the species level. Hence, it could be inferred that the Simpson index could successfully be used in the floricultural ecosystems for estimating arthropod diversity based on dominance measures.

Published: October 2022

The present experiment was conducted during 2016-18 at Division of Fruits and Horticultural Technology, ICARIARI, New Delhi. A total of 40 Kinnow mutants and 1 wild type were selected for molecular characterization and diversity analyses. Thirty-four SSR markers were screened for polymorphism, of which only 2 were found informative. Twelve alleles were detected among 2 SSRs with an average of 6 alleles per locus and the highest number of alleles (7) was recorded in SSR locus AMB2. The average diversity indices of SSR, viz. allele frequency, gene diversity, observed heterozygosity and PIC were 0.415, 0.672, 0.415 and 0.611 respectively. The N-J tree was constructed based on the 2 SSRs data which clustered the mutants into 2 major groups. Subsequently, clusters were simplified into 6 clades which distinguished gamma-irradiated and EMS derived mutants and results were reconfirmed through principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). First three axes of PCoA contributed 80.88% of the cumulative variation among the Kinnow mutants. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) explained 42% variation among the populations, 48 and 10% variation within and among the individuals respectively. The present investigation genetically characterized the Kinnow mutants and deciphered the genetic diversity among them. Thus, the variability generated through induced mutagenesis could be used as valuable genetic material for Kinnow improvement.

A field experiment was conducted during 2013-14 to 2015-16 at Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Regional Research Station, Lucknow to find out the alternate to rice (Oryza sativa L.)- wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system under partially reclaimed sodic soils. Four cropping systems, viz. rice (Oryza sativa L.)- wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)-berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum), sweet basil (tulsi) (Ocimum basilicum L.)-matricaria (Matricaria chamomilla) and chilli (Capsicum spp.)-garlic (Allium sativum) were evaluated in the light of sustainability, potentiality and profitability. Maximum rice equivalent yield (14.21 t/ha) and production efficiency (61.25 kg/ha/day) were recorded with sweet basil-matricaria cropping system whereas, highest land use efficiency (78.35%) was observed under sorghum-berseem fodder based cropping system. Highest water use efficiency (150.72 kg/ha cm) was recorded with chilli-garlic cropping system followed by sweet basil-matricaria, but the total amount of water used was more (125.65 cm) in rice-wheat system. The water requirements of sorghum-berseem, sweet basilmatricaria and chilli -garlic cropping systems were 8.0, 19.8 and 31.8% less than the rice-wheat cropping system. Among the cropping systems evaluated, maximum energy input (27.50 MJ/ ha) and output (314.46 MJ/ha) were analyzed in rice-wheat system. Whereas, maximum energy use efficiency (11.99) was found with sweet basil- matricaria followed by sorghum-berseem (11.91) cropping systems. Highest soil ameliorative potential was established with sweet basil -matricaria cropping system than rest of the cropping systems. Highest net return (₹ 63222/ha) and benefit: cost ratio of 2.74 was deliberated with medicinal and aromatic crop based sweet basil-matricaria cropping system.

Published: October 2022

Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration plays a vital role in judicious irrigation scheduling. Keeping this in view, a study was undertaken to compare the performance of five methods, viz. Penman method (PM), FAO Penman Monteith (FAO-PM), Priestley-Taylor (PT), FAO Radiation method (FAO-RM) and Hargreaves methods (HM) for Sultanpur District of Uttar Pradesh, India using the daily weather data acquired from automatic weather station during 2016-17. The performance evaluation of selected methods was carried out using linear regression and simple statistical analysis to suggest a substitute of FAO-PM for estimation of reference evapotranspiration using minimal climatic parameters available at regional scales. It was observed that the PM method performed the best and was in line with estimated ET0 by FAO-PM method with coefficient of determination (R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Modified Nash-Sutcliffe Coefficient (EMNS), Percent Bias (PBIAS) estimated as 0.94, 0.54, 0.40, 0.73, 3.74 for the year 2016 and 0.95, 0.44, 0.36, 0.73, 6.01 in 2017, respectively. Nonetheless, it was observed form this study that the PM method which requires four parameters, viz. daily solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperature, and wind speed can be a substitute to FAO-PM that require more parameters for ET0 estimation in data scarce situations.

Use efficiency of direct application of phosphorus (P) hardly exceeds 15-20% because of fixation to soils. The fixed-P could be utilized subsequently if it is brought to plant usable form. An experiment was conducted at Division of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 2017-18 to investigate the residual effects of different P sources like di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), rock phosphate (RP), RP+ phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and DAP+RP+PSB on rice yield, P uptake, P dynamics and enzyme activities in an Inceptisol. Results indicated that application of DAP30+RP60+PSB had 20.7, 24.3,19.6, 21.0, 28.1, 33, 15.2, 14.4 and 29.4% higher rice grain and straw yields, grain and straw P uptakes, available and saloid P, dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities respectively, as compared to DAP treatment. Thus, it can be inferred that application of DAP+RP+PSB can reduce fertilizer P consumption by 50%, and support the residual (second) crop better than conventional P-fertilizers, and improve soil available and saloid P status as well as enzymatic activities.

Authors: ANKUSH ANKUSH , PRAKASH RAM , LOUHAR GANPAT
Published: October 2022

The present two-year experiment (2017-19) evaluated the impact of domestic sewage sludge (SS) on yield parameters and soil nutrient status under the pearl millet-wheat system using saline irrigation. The field study consisted of three irrigation treatments [canal water (0.35 dS/m); saline water (8 and 10 dS/m)], and five fertilizer treatments [control, SS (5 t/ha), SS (5 t/ha)+50% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), SS (5 t/ha)+75% RDF and 100% RDF]. The results revealed a significant reduction in the biological yield and yield attributes, and protein content of both crops with increasing salinity levels of irrigation water during both the years. However, all these parameters recorded significantly highest values under 100% RDF which was statistically at par with SS (5 t/ha) + 75% RDF treatment. The soil available sulphur (S) was significantly increased with 8 and 10 dS/m EC of saline water over canal water (0.35 dS/m) irrigation. But, SS (5 t/ha) + 75% RDF obtained 36.7 and 22.3% higher available S over control and 100% RDF, respectively. No significant effects were made in DTPA-extractable micronutrients (Fe, Mn, and Cu) with saline irrigation except Zn, which was reduced under saline environment. SS added treatments obtained higher micronutrient concentration over control. Hence, SS incorporation has proven useful in sustainable crop production and improved micronutrient availability in the soil.

Los datos generados se registraron el software Parfish en donde se hicieron proyecciones de CPUE, estado del recurso, tiempo de recuperación y RMS. Se estimó que el recurso pámpano esta sobreexplotado con un 70% de probabilidad. El tiempo de recuperación de las poblaciones del recurso se calculó en 56 meses y el RMS en 68 gavetas al día por pescador. Se concluye que el recurso pámpano está sobrexplotado en la localidad de Machalilla y que es necesario tomar medidas rápidas de manejo y control para revertir la situación actual. Es recomendable fortalecer los estudios biológicos pesqueros sobre esta especie para fortalecer la información generada y optar por medidas de manejo participativo consensuadas.

Review Article: Significant Parameters in Building Energy Simulation
Authors: Jareemit Daranee , Inprom Natthaumporn
Published: October 2022

A simulation model has been widely used to investigate and predict the energy performance of buildings. However, to achieve more accurate energy result, the input data in the simulation model should be obtained from field measurements. Collecting field measurements is a very time intensive activity. With this limitation, in this work we summarized results of parameters most influential on energy results from 44 papers performing energy simulation model for determining the potential of energy saving and improving the model accuracy in various building types including offices, single rooms, homes, multi-family buildings, and other commercial buildings. It is found that the parameters with influence on energy performance were dissimilar to the parameter that the modelers used for adjusting the model accuracy and determining energy saving. Set point temperature had a large impact on energy results for office and home, while shading and occupancy schedule significantly impacted the energy results for multi-family building and other commercial buildings, respectively. At present, the number of sensitivity analysis related to building energy performance is limited. Future studies should increase a number of sensitivity analysis of building energy performance for different building types.

Published: October 2022

This research aims to study essential design criteria for effective self-directed learning spaces in the university in compliance with a human-centered design concept which gives priority to the requirement of physical functioning as well as psychological environment. The research focuses on conceptual designs and requirements of the college students to come up with guidelines to the effective interior architecture design of the self-directed learning spaces. It is conducted through a review of existing researches and theories along with data received from a survey with a random sample of 100 students enrolling at Thammasat University, Rangsit campus. The information on students’ behaviors, needs, activities and their individual preference in relation to the environmental factors that contribute to their satisfaction are collected from the survey feedback. The findings have been analyzed and used as guidelines and requirements to the design of the mentioned self-directed learning spaces on the campus. The survey feedback identifies that environmental factors that the students believe to support effective learning range in a top-down priority order ranging from flexible space, not overcrowding, tranquility, appropriate temperature , comfort furniture design, and lighting respectively which can be achieved through good design. Cleanliness and tidiness is only a factor relating to operations manage-ment. Regarding the interior style, the majority of students prefer a modern look with colorful decoration slightly above casual atmosphere resembling a coffeehouse or home while least students choose a formal style as corporate like interior. Privacy is one of the most important factors given as students choose enclosed meeting room over open meeting room. For furniture selections, students choose tables and chairs over sofa or lounge seats. Meanwhile, most students prefer ergonomics office chair with caster or upholstered seats. For work tables, they choose workstation with a large monitor that accommodates a large group of students working together although it may not offer good privacy. Most students prefer space and furniture for group working; however, territory and privacy are equally important factors.
Monument and the Reconstruction of Memory: The Case of Athens, from 19th Century to the Present
Authors: Chanratanapreeda Promchan
Published: October 2022

This paper investigates the implication of the monument in architecture and planning concerning its function and potential in modern discourse from the beginning of 19th century. The study focuses on ruins of urban artefacts that become a memorial representation of the past civilisation, more importantly, be beneficial to those associated with the process. To better understanding, since the Acropolis is viewed as a symbol of the classical spirit and civilisation of Western culture with the great architectural aesthetic of Ancient Greek, three Athenian urban projects are taken as a case study, namely, ‘the new Athens’ master plan’ of the 19th century, ‘landscaping around Acropolis’ by Dimitris Pikionis of the 1960s, and the current proposal ‘Rethink Athens’. By collecting and analysing related maps, images and scholarly writings, the paper formulates an argument that traces of Ancient Greek have been evident in the urban development processes of Athens in the modern era.
From the construction of national image in the early 19th century, the conservation through aesthetic creativity during the mid-20th century, to the commercialisation of urban space in the present time, the exploration of three projects serves as an explanation of the multiple roles of the monument in different circumstances. This examination reveals that orders and forms of urban fabric are substantially involved political forces, individual attitude, and economic condition. Against the notion of prolonging and representing societal values, the original meaning of the monument is obscured and distorted. In truth, the function of the monument depends on the desires of those associate with an authority or hegemonic power at a certain time. As a consequence, what visitors pursue is the ever-changing meaning of the monument rather than the fixed one.

Published: October 2022

Outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces are important to sustainable cities because they accommodate leisure and activities of citizens, and contributing to urban livability and vitality. In the urban context of climate environments especially in summer, public spaces that provide a pleasurable thermal comfort experience for citizens effectively improve the quality of urban living. Consequently, in this paper, a quantitative field study was applied to investigate outdoor and semi-outdoor thermal comfort conditions in hot and humid tropical climate of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Thermal conditions of both spaces were evaluated based upon the measurement of major climatic parameters, while the thermal perception and thermal acceptability of subjects was captured simultaneously using a questionnaire survey. Meanwhile, the Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) thermal comfort index was utilized to assess the thermal comfort conditions of selected spaces. The measurement period was conducted during the daytime from 8 am to 4 pm on April within the year 2557 BE, which is the most representative a hottest month of summer in Chiang Mai city.
A total of 296 questionnaires were collected in the outdoor (72.3%) and semi-outdoor (27.7%) urban spaces during the survey, which was carried out on days with suitable weather and avoid rainy days. The majority of the respondents (99.8%) stayed under trees or buildings shaded conditions. The thermal neutrality was derived by solving the simple linear equations for a mean sensation vote of zero, which are determined by analyzing the relationship between the Mean Thermal Sensation Vote (MTSV) and PET values. The results found that, the neutral sensation PET temperatures (MTSV=0) of outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces were 27.1 °C and 28.5 °C PET, respectively. And the acceptable thermal conditions ranges were 31.0-23.1°C PET and 32.0-22.4°C PET, respectively. Compared with the thermal acceptable range between both spaces was found that the thermal acceptable range in different spaces have different thermal requirements in summer, even if they are feeling comfort.
Impact of Site Elements to Micro-Climate Air Temperature
Authors: Puraprom Wuttigarn
Published: October 2022

Global warming effect has been a serious issue for decades. The impact of site element is one of influ-ence factors in architectural design and energy conservation. This study focused on material heat capacity properties of wet grass (0.7 Btu/oF), wet-soil (0.6 Btu/oF), concrete (0.23 Btu/ oF) and dry-soil (0.19 Btu/oF) surfaces. Outdoor air temperature was influenced by those selected materials.  Air temperature data were collected for 24 hours. During daytime, those surfaces received heat from solar radiation in a range of 240 to 260 Btu/ft2/h It is found that outside air temperature among wet-grass surface had raised 0.9oC similar to wet-soil as 1.8oC while concrete 2.6oC and dry-soil 2.9oC.  This illustrates that high heat capacity outdoor surfaces have less effected to raise air temperature than the others. Shades can reduce air temperature cov-ered dry-soil and concrete ground by 3.7oC and 4.9oC, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that to reduce outdoor air temperature, those materials should have high heat capacity property and shade from vegetation can shield materials with low heat capacity. It has less effect outdoor air temperature raise which cause energy conservation in building.

The book Urban Acupuncture is written by Jaime Lerner, an architect/urban planner turned Brazilian politician. Originally written in Portuguese, the book is translated in English. Lerner is the former governor of the state of Paraná, Brazil, and the mayor of Curitiba, the capital of Paraná. During his term as the mayor, he has initiated several urban revitalization and redevelopment projects, including a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, flood-control public parks, and waste management programs. The new BRT system, which costs much less than a subway or a light rail system, has brought transportation in Curitiba a new dimension. All stations look and feel like train stations and are accessible to the disabled. He also turned floodplains into public parks and made Curitiba among the world’s most per-capita park area. These projects have improved the quality of life of people as well as save millions of budget to the city of Curitiba.

Published: October 2022

Sleep quality can affect human health and the next-day performance. High indoor CO2 concentration levels due to insufficient supplied air ventilation could cause poor sleep quality. Bedrooms in condominium in Thailand commonly use a wall mounted split type system without supplied outdoor air ventilation. The rooms are typically constructed having airtight envelope which have air infiltration rates ranging 0.4-0.64 ACH. This study aims to evaluate the impact of increased ventilation rates on sleep quality and the next-day performance, which the surveys were collected from two occupants living in a one bedroom condominium. The field measurement and survey were conducted for twenty days with supplied outdoor airflow rates at 0, 40, and 60 m3 hr-1 through an energy recovery ventilator (ERV). The room air exchange rates were calculated from a linear regression method obtained from a decay tracer gas technique using indoor carbon dioxide generated by occupants. To overcome the maximum limit of CO2 concentration level specified in the standard health guidelines, the ERV unit has to supply outdoor air ventilation rate at 60 m3 hr-1. Overall, the increase of outdoor air ventilation rates can improve sleep quality by 2-13 percent and occupants have better work performance in the next day by 2-20 percent. The increase of outdoor air ventilation through the ERV unit does not affect indoor relative humidity.
