With rapid population growth, urban designers face tremendous challenges to accommodate the increasing size of in areas while simultaneously considering future environmental, social, and economic impacts. A “smart city” is an development vision that integrates multiple information communication technologies manage assets a city, including its systems, transportation power plants, water supply networks, waste management other community services provided by local department. The goal creating...

The rapidly increasing use of renewable energy resources in power generation systems recent years has accentuated the need to find an optimum and efficient scheme for forecasting meteorological parameters, such as solar radiation, temperature, wind speed, sun exposure. Integrating prediction into electrical grids witnessed a powerful economic impact, along with supply demand balance scheme. Academic interest formulating accurate models yields significantly increased around world. This...

Abstract Understanding built environment exposure as a component of environmental enrichment has significant implications for mental health, but little is known about the effects design characteristics have on our emotions and associated neurophysiology. Using Cave Automatic Virtual Environment while monitoring indoor quality (IEQ), 18 participants were exposed to resting state (black), two room scenes, control (white) condition (blue), understand if color virtual walls affected self‐report,...

Safety training is an important factor in preventing and reducing work-related accidents. As workplaces look for ways to improve safety outcomes, increasing the effectiveness of continues be factor. Interest virtual reality (VR) has grown substantially recent years due emergence affordable, consumer-grade VR technologies. The ability simulate hazardous difficult-to-access scenarios environments provides opportunity practical hands-on otherwise difficult achieve. also trainees fail safely...

Aluminosilicates with varying Al2O3:SiO2 molar ratios (3 : 1, 3 2, and 4) have been synthesized using a hybrid sol–gel route boehmite sol as the precursor for alumina tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) silica. The synthesis of from aluminium nitrate, its use precursor, is cost effective compared to alkoxide precursors. Structural aspects, including bonding coordination, are studied in detail samples calcined temperature range 400–1400 °C both NMR FTIR spectroscopy: results correlated phase...

Abstract A case is presented for kinetic compensation effects (KCEs) reported sets of heterogeneous rate processes to be classified. Because many these KCEs do not conform the ideal isokinetic behavior, a quantitative method describing degree (κ) introduced. In solid‐promoted catalytic reactions, it suggested that (unlike simple homogeneous reactions) effective concentrations and dispositions surface intermediates can vary with temperature. Thus, constants differently temperature individual...

Abstract Museums are increasingly embracing new methods and technologies to enhance the visitor experience. Virtual Reality (VR) provides opportunity experience objects situations that not readily available or don’t otherwise exist making it well suited museum applications. Museum visitors represent an ultra-diverse cohort with technology levels ranging from first-time users through experts, typically needing interact exhibit little no induction training, in many instances as a once off...

The effects of quadrupole, dipole, chemical shielding and spin–lattice interactions on the properties deuterium spin echo response to a 90°–τ–90°90° pulse sequence in powdered molecular crystals are investigated. Procedures delineted for selective measurement these interactions. It is argued that experiments should contribute realisation potential n.m.r. spectroscopy studying orientational disorder motion solids.

There is currently no robust method to evaluate how built environment design affects our emotion. Understanding emotion significant, as it influences cognitive processes, behavior, and wellbeing, linked the functioning of physiological systems. As mental health problems are becoming more prevalent, exposure indoor environments increasing, important we develop rigorous methods understand whether elements in affect This study examines scale interior modulate neural networks involved...

The widespread use and inherent risks associated with low-voltage electrical equipment require all workers to understand its hazards how manage them. Despite being the most commonly used method for raising safety awareness, lecture-based training often proves ineffective. Virtual reality (VR) allows user be immersed in a virtual environment actively participate practical while maintaining their safety, which can potentially result engaging effective training. This paper investigates...

The deuteron spin echo responses to resonant 90°-τ-β90° (XY) and 90°-τ-β0° (XX) pulse sequences in powdered molecular crystals (C6D6, (CD3)2CO CD3CN) are reported. An is formed at time τ following the second dependence of its amplitude on β sin2 component dominates E XY(β, τ) short τ, but decays much faster than cos2 component, so that maximum shifts < 90° with increasing τ. For 90°-τ-90°90° sequence, XY(90°, exhibits a gaussian over least 50 per cent : for acetone-d 6 benzene-d 6, decay...

Purpose – This paper aims to describe, explain and evaluate a graduate education program that provides international project experiences builds competencies related collaborative problem-solving, cultural capacity work globally sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative analysis of survey data from 28 students supplemented by observation interviews conducted before, during after multi-week ten-day trip China in 2014. Supplemental contextual information were provided...

HCI research involving older adults has typically focused on improving technology skills, mobility and health outcomes. Technology for positive ageing emphasizing creativity, inquisitiveness resourcefulness is less commonly explored. This article builds this to contribute an understanding of the importance curiosity, play experimentation in supporting wellbeing outcomes living with smart home devices. The was conducted regional Australia by aged care provider two universities. Twenty-three...

Deuteron spin–lattice T1 and spin–spin T2 relaxation times have been measured at 10 MHz in aqueous (D2O) solutions of lithium chloride as a function concentration (R= 3.5 to 6.3 mol D2O per LiCl) temperature (175–320 K). These measurements are analysed using an empirical Cole–Davidson distribution reorientational correlation τ2 for D2O. The mean values found be represented by 2=(1.24 ± 0.27)× 10–13 s exp {(701 21) K/(T–T0)} with T0 137 K 3.7), 129 4.8) 125 6.3). At low temperatures, the 2...

Sustainability professionals need specialized leadership competencies to effectively influence the complex, uncertain, conflicted, and dynamic (i.e., wicked) sustainability challenges of our time. Higher education programs can teach these thus help gain more career success. This article has three objectives: 1.) define justify that address wicked challenges, 2.) describe a pedagogy professionals, 3.) evaluate whether intended learning outcomes were achieved in applications this pedagogy.
