Microclimate design methods for energy-saving houses on various site conditions in Korea
Ein kleines territoriales Gebiet in Korea weist verschiedene mikroklimatische Bedingungen auf, je nachdem, wie viel Sonne, Schatten, Feuchtigkeit und Winden es ausgesetzt ist. Diese mikroklimatischen Bedingungen können durch zielgerichtete Betrachtung aller Elemente bei der Entwicklung und beim …

The Relationship of Principal Leadership Styles and School-Site Conditions to Stress Levels of Elementary School Teachers
… if principal leadership styles and school-site conditions were associated with elementary teachers' stress levels. The study focused on the relationship between the independent variables of principal leadership styles and school-site conditions and the dependent variables of teacher stress …

A comparison of proxies for seismic site conditions and amplification for the large urban area of Santiago de Chile
… and a study was carried out aiming to estimate site amplification derived from earthquake data and ambient noise. The analysis of earthquake data shows significant dependence on the local geological structure with regards to amplitude and duration. Moreover, the analysis of noise spectral ratios …

Plants in urban brownfields: modeling the driving factors of site conditions and of plant functional group occurrence in a dynamic environment
… traits of selected species and environmental conditions were recorded. By clustering the species according to their traits into plant functional groups (PFGs) and subsequent modeling, in the first part of the thesis, I identified relevant strategies for species survival. The results revealed …

The relationship between stem-form, stand-closure and site -conditions : the influence of environmental conditions on tree allometry and forest structure in west-central Alberta
… relationship between stem-form, standclosure and site-conditions. An increase in wind force on the individual tree due to a decrease in stand density should produce a more tapered tree. The density of the stand is determined by the conditions that the trees are growing under. The ability of the …

Forest Densification Over 85 Years in a Sierra Nevada Mixed-Conifer Forest Decreases Conifer Regeneration and Limits Survival
… has created unfavorable establishment site conditions for conifer species. Establishment site conditions are key in promoting germination and establishment of conifers seeds and in determining the survival of these seedlings into the overstory. These changes in establishment site …

Celebration of arrival and departure : airport as threshold between sky and ground
… to· the other. This circulation comes from not site conditions but operational requirements. This thesis explores airport terminal design with an alternative circulation coming from site conditions. In Kagoshima, Japan, I propose an airport terminal building designed as a gate. Kagoshima City is …

Ground and Lining Behavior of Shallow Underground Rock Chambers for the Washington, d.c. Subway
The site conditions and the performance of nine station chambers for the Washington, D.C., Metro were investigated and evaluated. Available strain and displacement instrumentation results were evaluated and additional data was collected in the caverns.

Investigation of hydrologic and sediment transport processes on riparian hillslopes
… research was to investigate the influence of site conditions on the hydrologic and sediment transport response of riparian zones/hillslopes. Research investigations were focused in two major areas: field investigations of riparian hillslopes and development of a riparian hillslope model. The …

Plant Successional Patterns at Sperry Glacier Foreland, Glacier National Park, MT, USA
… vegetative trends over field and GIS-derived site conditions (e.g., surface fragmentation, concavity, flow accumulation, and solar irradiance). Sixty-one plots (each 8 square meters) were placed throughout the glacier foreland using a random sample stratified by terrain date. Percent cover, …

Nonlinear site amplification functions for Central and Eastern North America
Site amplification functions are used to modify ground motions from a reference bedrock condition to a surface condition based on the geologic features of the site of interest. Site amplification has been extensively studied and evaluated empirically for seismic regions such as the Western United …
