Microclimate and Thermal Comfort of Urban Spaces in Hot Dry Damascus- Influence of urban design and planning regulations

The aim of this study is to develop better understanding of the relationship between microclimate and urban design in the hot dry city of Damascus. This is done by studying the impact of urban regulations on microclimate in different urban design patterns in modern Damascus. This study also investigates the behaviour of different thermal comfort indices to define the thermal comfort and acceptabil

A Frozen Colophon in Ps 72?

The colophon in Ps 72:20 has long been puzzling psalm scholars. It reads כלו תפלות דוד בן־ישי—the prayers of David, son of Jesse, are ended—and as such it raises a number of questions. The first observation to be made is that the word תפלה is used, not תהלה. That this is a potential problem is clear already in the LXX, where תפלה is corrected to ὕμνοι. Secondly, the claim that the prayers of David

Analysis of suboptimal dual control

A reformulation of the dual control problem makes it possible to interpret and understand the nature of different approximations to dual control, in particular the Adaptive Predictive Controller (APC) and the Active Suboptimal Dual Controller (ASOD). The analysis makes the origin of the computational problems more clear, and suggests new alternatives for approximations.

English Lexical Nominalizations in a Norwegian-Swedish Contrastive Perspective

The present study investigates English lexical nominalizations in terms of their syntax and semantics, and contrastively, in terms of their translations into Norwegian and Swedish. The material comprises 586 English lexical nominalizations and their Norwegian and Swedish translations collected from seven popular science texts in the English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus (ENPC) and the English-Swedidh
