Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Thermal Comfort in Respect to Building Height in a High-Density City in the TropicsAnisha Noori Kakon, Mishima Nobuo, Shoichi Kojima, Taguchi YokoProblem statement: The significance of urban design and planning in the tropics lies mostly on its climatic and regional concerns. Among many design parameters, building height is an important parameter which affects thermal climate in the city considerably. This study investigated the effect of building height on outdoor thermal comfort during the daytime in summer in Dhaka, Bangladesh which is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrengthening Conservation in the Tropics: The Water Canon of Costa RicaFrancisco Benavides, John N. VeenstraProblem statement: The tropics contain primary forests with a significant value for society, as they provide services such as carbon sequestration, soil conservation, bio-prospecting, water storage and others. Competing land uses have not favored conservation during the last several decades and therefore the need for an effective public policy instrument to curtail forest loss is evident. Approach: This article analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLeptospirosis in the Tropics: When Prevention Doesn't Easily Sell as a Ton of CureRoger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Human leptospirosis -- the most widespread zoonotic disease -- thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It is seldom addressed ex ante or prior to an outbreak or expected outbreak by governments of high-risk countries. Whether common, post-exposure treatment with antimicrobial drugs is more cost-efficient than reducing animal reservoir populations was the overarching question that guided this study. A … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Drying Method on Physical-Chemical Characteristics and Amino Acid Content of Tropical Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Hay for Poultry FeedBambang Suwignyo, Anita Mustika, Kustantinah et al.Alfalfa is an important source of inexpensive forage for poultry that has high nutritional and digestive value. Alfalfa can be dried to produce hay, although the drying method can affect the quality of the hay as forage. In this study we examined how drying methods affect the physical quality and chemical composition of hay produced from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 15 May 2020 · 8,397 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDYNAMIC DAYLIGHT AND SOLAR CONTROL IN TROPICAL CLIMATEYaik-Wah LimDaylight is dynamic, thus there is no one common solution for all scenarios. It is more critical in tropical climate where the sky is predominantly intermediate; with inconsistent clouds formations which will influence the presence of direct sunlight and daylight availability. In this study, the potential of dynamic internal shading devices for improving daylighting performances in tropical climate was investigated. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
