Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume describes phase 3 of the AiREAS multidisciplinary cocreation effort to produce a Healthy City. Phase 1 referred to making visible the invisible from an air quality and human exposure perspective. Phase 2 studies air quality related to health and Phase 3 looks at air quality, health and lifestyle from the perspective of persuasion to innovative change. The three books together describe the coming about and first results of the AiREAS "healthy city" cooperative in the city of Eindhoven and Province of North Brabant in the Netherlands. AiREAS is an initiative focused on the multidisciplinary co-creation of healthy cities using the core human value of human health and air quality as guiding principle for profound regional innovation. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The typical process by which engineered buildings are designed for wind loads in current practice has serious shortcomings. This is due to the inadequate pressure measurement technology and computational resources at the time of its development, and to an ineffective framework for the cooperation between wind and structural engineers. As a result, independent estimates of wind forces on major tall buildings performed in the early 2000s by prominent wind engineering laboratories were found to differ from each other by over 40 %. This finding, and similar findings reported in the literature, prompted intense research efforts that, along with the development of the pressure scanner, led to major advances in the state of the art. However, these advances have not yet been integrated effectively into design practice"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book covers topics ranging from a detailed error analysis of SSTs to new applications employed, for example, in the study of the El Niño-La Niña Southern Oscillation, lake temperatures, and coral bleaching. New techniques for interpolation and algorithm development are presented, including improvements for cloud detection. Analysis of the |

pixel-to-pixel uncertainties provides insight to applications for high spatial resolutions. New approaches for the estimation and evaluation of SSTs are presented. In addition, an overview of the Climate Change Initiative, with specific applications to SST, is presented. The book provides an excellent overview of the current technology, while also highlighting new technologies and their applications to new missions. |
