Full textPå grund av världens växande befolkning och urbaniseringen blir problem relaterade till fenomenet urbana värmeöar mer och mer påtagliga. Eftersom urbana parker kan minska påfrestningen skapad av urbana värmeöar kan de vara ett kraftfullt verktyg vid klimatdesign i städer. Temperaturen nära en yta bestäms av energiutbytet mellan ytan och luften ovanför och det är därför nödvändigt att man förstår energibalansen vid markytan för att kunna hantera parkernas mikroklimat. Syftet med det här arbetet var att studera skillnaderna mellan energibalansen för olika ytor i parken och i dess omgivning och att relatera skillnaderna i energibalanserna till temperaturskillnaderna.
Mätningarna utfördes under tre klara sommardagar i parken Humlegården i centrala Stockholm. Mätutrustningen var monterad på en kärra som flyttades från mätplats till mätplats. Mätplatserna representerade olika typiska ytor i Humlegården och i dess omgivning: en skuggad och en öppen gräsmatta, en öppen och en skuggad grusyta och två asfaltytor, varav en löper i nord-sydlig riktning och en i öst-västlig riktning.
Energiflödena beräknades med hjälp av data för luft- och yttemperatur, vindhastighet, luftfuktighet och nettostrålning.
Resultaten visade att den tydligaste skillnaden mellan gräs- och grusytorna i parken var att gräsytorna hade ett större nedåtriktat latent värmeflöde under natten och ett mindre markvärmeflöde under hela dygnet. Den mest distinkta skillnaden mellan de skuggade och öppna ytorna i parken var att de skuggade ytorna hade mindre energiflöden under dagen och att de till skillnad från de andra ytorna hade ett nedåtriktat sensibelt värmeflöde under dagen. Den största skillnaden mellan ytorna i och utanför parken var att asfaltytorna hade ett större uppåtriktat sensibelt värmeflöde och markvärmeflöde under natten.
Under natten var den svalaste mätplasten den öppna gräsmattan, vilken också var den enda mätplasten med ett nedåtriktat sensibelt värmeflöde under natten. Jämfört med de andra ickeskuggade mätplasterna hade den öppna gräsmattan ett mindre markvärmeflöde. Varmaste mätplasterna under natten var asfaltytorna som även hade ett större uppåtriktat sensibelt och markvärmeflöde än de andra ytorna. Under dagen var de skuggade ytorna i parken de svalaste platserna. De var de enda ytorna med ett nedåtriktat sensibelt värmeflöde och nettostrålningen vid ytan var mindre än för de flesta andra mätplatser.
The world’s growing population and the increasing urbanization has made problems related to the urban heat island phenomenon to become more pronounced and since urban parks reduce the stress produced by the urban heat island they can be powerful tools in urban climate design. The temperature near the surface in a park is determined by the energy exchanges between the surface and the air above and it is therefore necessary to understand the surface energy balance of parks to intelligently manage their thermal microclimate. The objectives of this work were to study how the energy balances differ between different surfaces inside parks and in their built-up surroundings and to relate the surface energy balances to temperature differences.
Measurements were conducted during three clear summer days in the park Humlegården located in central Stockholm. The measuring instruments were mounted on a cart, which was transported from observation site to observation site. The observation sites represented typical surfaces found in an urban park and its surroundings: one shaded and one open grass surface, one open and one shaded gravel surface and two paved surfaces representing streets running in the north-south and east-west directions respectively. The energy fluxes were calculated using air and surface temperatures, wind speed, air humidity and net radiation data.
The most pronounced differences between the shaded and open surfaces in the park was that the shaded surfaces in general had smaller energy fluxes during daytime and that they had a downward directed sensible heat flux while the open surfaces had an upward directed sensible heat flux during the day. The most significant difference between the grass and the gravel surfaces in the park was that the grass surfaces had a bigger downward directed latent heat flux during the night and a smaller ground heat flux during both day and night. The largest differences between the surfaces inside the park and those in its built-up vicinities were that the paved surfaces had a larger upward directed sensible and ground heat flux during the night than the other surfaces. During the day the north-south directed paved site had a downward directed ground heat flux that was much larger than the ground heat flux for the other sites.
The coolest site during the night was the non-shaded grass surface, which was the only site with a downward directed sensible heat flux during the night. Compared to the other nonshaded sites the open grass surface had a much smaller ground heat flux. Warmest sites during the night were the paved surfaces, which had a larger upward directed sensible and ground heat flux than the other surfaces. At the built-up sites the walls also contributed with sensible heat flux, i.e. the total sensible heat flux in the built-up area was larger than what comes from the street surface only. During the day the shaded surfaces in the park were the coolest sites. The shaded surfaces had less net radiation compared to the other non-shaded surfaces and were the only sites that had a downward directed sensible heat flux.

Full textThe use of \"cool pigment\" is one of the alternatives to minimize the effects of \"heat islands\" in big cities like São Paulo. This type of pigment provides the development of formulas for painting roofs with dark colors, near black, but showing higher solar reflectance (SR) than conventional pigments. In this study, a group of paint was formulated in light gray color and the other in dark gray color. The first group of paints was prepared with addition of conventional black pigment which is the carbon black that has organic nature. The second group of paints was prepared with addition of \"cool pigment\", which has inorganic nature. The pigment fraction of both groups of paints was obtained using the software \"CoolSim\". The literature review shows that finishes obtained with paints prepared with organic nature pigment has lower solar reflectance and finishes obtained with paints prepared with addition of \"cool pigment\", with inorganic nature, have a higher solar reflectance. The results of the study show that the solar reflectance of both groups of paint confirms the data obtained in the literature review. The paint formulas prepared with addition of \"cool pigment\", even presenting dark color, resulted in film more adequate for the application in surfaces of roofs and tiles due their capacity to absorb less heat. The use of \"cool pigment\" in formulas allow to obtain paints that can contribute to the reduction of the temperature of the building, by reduction the need to use air conditioning, resulting in lower energy consumption.

Full textUrbanization and the changes imposed by man disturb the complex natural system, modifying the elements and characteristics of climate on a local scale. Considering the influence of urbanization as derived from the fact that the local climate and responsible for the generation of an urban environment specifically, this work was to analyze the field thermo-hygrometric and the formation of heat islands and urban cool in Santa Maria RS (Rio Grande do Sul, State of Southern of Brazil), relating these variables geourbans and geoecologycs in the study area. To accomplish this work was used the methodology of the transects, consisting of mobile collections in points pre-established. It was established two transects for data collection of temperature and relative humidity of the atmospheric air: one has the direction more or less in a north/northwest-south/southeast (NNW-SSE), linking Street Sete de Setembro , in Neighborhood Perpétuo Socorro , the end Fernando Ferrari Avenue in Neighborhood Nossa Senhora de Lourdes and the other in the east/northeastwest/southwest (WSW-ENE), linking the Street Major Duarte to get Street Venâncio Aires near the Arroio Cadena at Central portion of the Santa Maria City. The data were collected on days August 14, 2008 and January 06, 2009, the area was under the weather for the South Atlantic Polar Mass in winter time and the Old Polar Mass or modified in the summer, respectively. Were made cotte measures at five different times (9, 12, 15h, 18h and 21h), in order to verify the responses of thermal and humidity from the points pre-established and distributed along the transects, totaling 13 points of measures along the transect 1 (NNWSSE) and 15 in the transect 2 (ENE-WSW). Armed with the data of temperature and humidity, were made cartograms of the field thermo-hygrometric. For this application was used the Software Surfer for Windows 8.0. In the preparation of cartograms of the thermal field were established color scales to represent the values of temperature, so the cool colors were associated with lower temperatures and the warm colors at higher temperatures. Cartograms of hygrometric field values were represented in the cartogram using a variation of blue scale, so the lighter blue was used to represent the values of lower humidity and dark blue for higher values. The results highlight that the hygrometric and thermal fields of the coverage area of the transects, both on the day of collection in the field of Mass Polar Atlantic in winter time and in the field of Old Polar Mass or modified in the summer, need to move apparent daily sun exposure of the slopes and to solar radiation. By analyzing the thermal field of January 06, 2009 in five hours of collection, it became clear the migratory movements of the heat islands of the eastern slope, during the morning, to the slopes facing the north and west quadrant, during periods of midday and afternoon. The weather conditions that occurred on January 06, 2009 (summer), with clear skies, calm winds and a light with high incidence of solar radiation on the surface, favored the formation of heat islands and freshness of magnitude rating, strong and very strong. Was verified the thermal contrast between the center and periphery of the study area.
A urbanização e as transformações impostas pela ação do homem desequilibram o complexo sistema natural, modificando os elementos e as características do clima na escala local. Considerando a influência da urbanização como fato derivador do clima local e responsável pela geração de um clima especificamente urbano, este trabalho, teve por objetivo analisar o campo termohigrométrico, bem como a formação de ilhas de calor e de frescor urbanas em Santa Maria/RS, relacionando-as as variáveis geourbanas e geoecológicas existentes na área de estudo. Para isso utilizou-se a metodologia dos transectos, que consiste em coletas móveis em pontos pré-estabelecidos. Foi estabelecido dois transectos para a coleta dos dados de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar: um no sentido norte/noroeste-sul/sudeste (NNW-SSE), ligando a rua Sete de Setembro, no bairro Perpétuo Socorro, ao final da avenida Fernando Ferrari no bairro Nossa Senhora de Lourdes e o outro no sentido leste/nordeste-oeste/sudoeste (ENE-WSW), ligando a rua Major Duarte ao começo da rua Venâncio Aires próximo, ao Arroio Cadena. Os dados foram coletados nos dias 14 de agosto de 2008 e 06 de janeiro de 2009, sob domínio das condições atmosféricas pela Massa Polar Atlântica no inverno e pela Massa Polar Velha ou modificada no verão, respectivamente. As coletas foram realizadas em cinco horários diferentes (9h, 12h, 15h, 18h e 21h), com o intuito de verificar as respostas térmicas e de umidade dos pontos pré-estabelecidos e distribuídos ao longo dos transectos, num total de 13 pontos ao longo do transecto 1 (NNW-SSE) e de 15 no transecto 2 (ENE-WSW). De posse dos dados de temperatura e umidade do ar, foram confeccionados os cartogramas do campo termo-higrométrico. Para tal foi utilizado o aplicativo Surfer for Windows 8.0. Na elaboração dos cartogramas do campo térmico foram estabelecidas escalas de cores para os valores de temperatura, onde as cores frias foram associadas a temperaturas mais baixas e as cores quentes a temperaturas mais altas. Nos cartogramas do campo higrométrico os valores de umidade foram representados utilizando uma variação da cor azul. Assim, o azul mais claro foi utilizado para representar os valores de umidade mais baixos e, a cor azul escura, para os valores mais altos. Como resultados destaca-se que os campos térmico e higrométrico da área de abrangência dos transectos, tanto no dia de coleta sob domínio da Massa Polar Atlântica, no inverno, quanto no domínio da Massa Polar Velha ou modificada, no verão, estão condicionados ao movimento aparente diário do sol e a exposição das vertentes à radiação solar. Ao analisar o campo térmico do dia 06 de janeiro de 2009, nos cinco horários de coleta, percebe-se o movimento migratório das ilhas de calor da vertente leste, para as vertentes voltadas para o quadrante norte e oeste. As condições de tempo ocorridas no dia 06 de janeiro de 2009 (verão), com céu limpo, ventos calmos a leve e com forte incidência de radiação solar na superfície, favoreceram a formação de ilhas de calor e de frescor de magnitude media, forte e muito forte, bem como o contraste térmico entre o centro e a periferia da área de estudo.

Full textThis thesis describes the grammar of the language spoken on the two small atolls of Manihiki and Rakahanga in the Northern Group of the Cook Islands. The language is a Polynesian language belonging to the Eastern Polynesian subgroup and is closely related to neighbouring languages such as Tongarevan and Rarotongan. The work is the first ever reasonably thorough description of this language, and is based on a number of video recordings, collected during a total of approximately 12 months of fieldwork. The fieldwork was split into several different visits to New Zealand, as well as to Rarotonga and Manihiki in the Cook Islands. The recordings were transcribed and translated with the help of native speakers. The grammar is divided into seven chapters: Preliminaries, Phonology, Word Classes, The Noun Phrase, The Verb Complex, Clause Structure and Complex Sentences. From the description, one can see that the Manihiki language is a fairly typical Eastern Polynesian language. It is grammatically very close to Rarotongan and Tahitian, whereas the phonology is virtually identical to that of New Zealand Māori, with exactly the same phoneme inventory. When it comes to word classes, Manihiki exhibits a fluidity between nouns and verbs which is typical of Polynesian languages, and which is probably facilitated by the fact that Manihiki is an almost entirely analytic language, with no inflectional morphology and only three derivational affixes: two causative prefixes and a nominalizing suffix. Manihiki also appears to be a fairly typical Polynesian language when it comes to the use of determiners with noun phrases and preverbal particles with verb complexes. It also contains the presentative preposition ko, cognate forms of which are found in most other Polynesian languages. Further research will be needed in order to determine the exact position of Manihiki within the Eastern Polynesian subgroup.

Full textThis dissertation offers a comprehensive model of contemporary nation-state sovereignty. To do so, it examines the mutually constitutive relationship between sovereignty and present-day globalization as well as the role of law and capital in creating, maintaining, and driving that relationship.
The scholarly treatment of nation-state sovereignty has been inadequate for several reasons. Older theories of sovereignty could not have foreseen the unprecedented technological advances that underlie our current system and therefore do not sufficiently explain it. More recent theories of sovereignty, in turn, tend to be too narrowly focused, such that a given model of sovereignty often only applies to that particular condition. Furthermore, the academic literatures on sovereignty and nationalism, while occasionally referencing each other, have failed to recognize that the two phenomena are parts of the same whole and therefore must be more fully integrated.
This dissertation argues that a comprehensive model of contemporary nation-state sovereignty must include two symbiotic elements. The first, referred to here as
From these multiple angles it becomes evident that nation-state sovereignty is not one single power but instead a set of powers, such that each power entails a strategic option that can be negotiated, delegated, mortgaged or surrendered. Nation-state sovereignty is therefore rendered meaningful only in connection with other nation-state sovereignties; in the contemporary situation, this means globalization. Sovereignty is, after all, an
The dissertation integrates these theories of sovereignty and globalization to show how the connections created by systems of nation-state law serve as the framework for many of the core processes of globalization, while flows of capital within and enabled by that framework fuel those processes. It shows that there are at least three important aspects of this relationship between sovereignty, globalization, law and capital: First, because of the connections of law, capital, and labor,

With the rapid development of society, and the booming urban systems nowadays, original natural surface is being replaced by artificial surfacing gradually. The temperature is losing balance in urban areas, and temperature constantly rising end up with higher temperature in the city outskirts; which leads to Heat Island Effect in cities. Therefore, how to alleviate the problem of Heat Island Effect caused by urbanization is getting more important. More and more researches on the effect of Cool Island Effect appeared, but most of the studies for Cool Island Effect focus on green spaces, and those on the water are mostly ribbon of river; However, the study focused on planar of waters is relatively rare, so my study will focus on the waters of the planar for the object. With the swift development of Taiwan''s economy, the Heat Island Effect not only happened in Taipei area, but also in the nearby city, Taoyuan. Therefore, Heat Island Effect problem should not be ignored. With the natural conditions and the background of demanding ancestors Taoyuan areas, ponds become the most representative of the landscape in Taoyuan City. Therefore, this study will focus on the planar of pond in Taoyuan City as the study objects of cool island effect. With the progress in information and technology of space, Satellite Telemetry has the advantages of high spectral, large range, simultaneous record and the rapid acquisition data. Therefore, this study will refer to the remote sensing images of 2002 and 2011 of the Landsat-7 ETM +, with the calculation of the surface temperature and ground station data, and then produce the surface temperature map of Taoyuan City; On the other hand, take the advantage of the land use classification, this research divided land of Taoyuan city in five categories which is ponds, water, woodland, agricultural land and building. The spatial overlay analysis is to explore the relationship of Cool Island Effect between ponds in Taoyuan against the surrounding environment, and the data in ponds Cool Island Effect as well. The results showed that Cool Island Effect would affect 300 meters from ponds, and the environment location and the area of ponds will affect its Cool Island Effect. Pond area to the temperature showes negative correlation. However, the area of influence of the Cool Island Effect has a threshold, once it exceeds the threshold, the impact will slow down. the best area is about 2-5 hectares, it varies in different locations. The Cold Island Effect for ponds to cool down in the range of 1 to 2.5℃. But with the different density of buildings would make different cool data. Therefore, this study will collect Cool Island Effect data from ponds to Cool Island Effect table, providing researches, space planning or design in the future.

Full textNowadays, urban heat island’s mitigation is an important goal to improve health and comfort conditions of urban population. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the cooling potential of Lisbon’s green spaces, quantifying the volume of vegetation needed to reduce 1ºC in air temperature. Therefore, several green spaces were chosen as samples: a medium size green space (Jardim da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian), a small size green space (Jardim Fernando Pessa) and two streets, one with vegetation (Avenida Defensores de Chaves) and one without vegetation (Rua Actor Isidoro). In all green spaces climatic data were collected (installation of urban meteorological stations and mobile measurements in predefined transects) and air temperature was interpolated in Jardim da Gulbenkian to characterize the thermal behavior of green spaces and its influence in the surrounding building area. Furthermore, the city’s biomass was estimated through several remote sensing models using NDVI. From this, the density of vegetation in Jardim da Gulbenkian was calculated. This output and the interpolated temperatures were used to develop a linear regression model to estimate the influence of vegetation on air temperature and the cooling potential of green spaces in the city. The main results indicate that all green spaces analyzed, at some moment, reduced air temperatures in their surroundings. However, the intensity of park cool islands (PCI) registered high temporal and spatial variability. In Jardim da Gulbenkian, the medium PCI recorded was 2,2ºC in days with moderate to high nebulosity and high variability of winds. Jardim Fernando garden was often hotter than surroundings. These differences may be explained by the dimension of green spaces and the type and area occupied by vegetation, since the cooling effect of green spaces covered mostly by grass is often small or absent. Regarding the two streets analyzed, Avenida Defensores de Chaves was, in average, 1ºC cooler than Rua Actor Isidoro, and maximum differences reached 3,7ºC. Considering the linear regression model built with air temperature and density of vegetation (predictive variable), it was concluded that, in order to reduce 0,02ºC in difference of air temperature between one measure point and a fixed station the area occupied by vegetation must be increased in 1m2 (planar measure). The methodology applied in this study may be considered as a base to estimate the cooling potential of all green spaces in Lisbon. Further research with a great number of green spaces is needed in the future in order to better quantify this effect.

The difficulties of education on remote islands in Taiwan are troublesome, such as low teaching proficiency, the lack of learning resource, and students’ low learning motivation. To improve the situation, this study is aimed to discuss the application process of Reciprocal Teaching. It also investigated on the changing of students’ learning way after using on the on-line learning website, Cool English. The probability of students’ learning performance improvement is explored in this study. The approach of this study was action research. The participants of this study were 9 students on the ninth grade of junior high school on the remote island in Penghu. During three months, this study was operated in English classes and remedial teaching time. The data collection included reading comprehension test scores, students’ worksheet portfolios, teaching observation, interview records, learning motivation questionnaire. The results of the study show that: 1. There is practical value in using Cool English as assistance of English teaching and students’ autonomous learning. 2. Reciprocal Teaching and Cool English Learning Platform promote the English learning attitude and motivation of the remote island students. 3. Reciprocal Teaching and Cool English Learning Platform improve the English learning outcome of the remote island students.
