5. 3. Revisiting the urban block in the light of climate change : A case study of Budapest

   Author : Csilla V Gál; Peter Land; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the urban block configuration of free-standing buildings has been deemed superior to other built forms, as it provided the necessities of modern healthy living: sunlight and fresh air. In light of climate change, the dissertation aims to reevaluate these long held beliefs and to reintroduce microclimate as an urban design consideration. READ MORE

6. 4. Daylight Influence on Colour Design : Empirical Study on Perceived Colour and Colour Experience Indoors

   Author : Maud Hårleman; Jadwiga Krupinska; José Luis Caivano; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architecture; interior colouring; spatial character; natural daylight; verbal description; colour reference box; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Abstract : It is known that one and the same interior colouring will appear different in rooms with windows facing north or facing south, but it is not known how natural daylight from these two compass points affects perceived colour and the ways in which colour is experienced. The objective is to describe the perceived colours to be expected in rooms with sunlight and diffused light, and thus develop a tool for colour design. READ MORE

7. 5. Meristem Maintenance in Arabidopsis thaliana

   Author : Alessia Para; Annika Sundås Larsson; Jan Traas; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Life sciences and physical sciences; Arabidopsis thaliana; development; shoot apical meristem; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is the structure that shapes the aerial architecture of the plant, by producing lateral organs throughout development. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the SAM is always identifiable as a characteristic dome, whether it is found in the centre of a rosette of leaves or at the tip of an inflorescence. READ MORE
