The materials characterisation requirements for accurate yet practical simulation of daylighting in buildings is examined for a range of emerging and existing technologies which seek to raise the contribution of daylighting to overall lighting requirements. Algorithms based on underlying...

The measurement of BRTF (Bi-directional reflectance and transmittance function) is described using a new instrument which is capable of supplying BRTF data and algorithms for use in computer simulations directly on diffuse materials and indirectly on large samples and sub-systems. A high...

This study presents the determinants and development strategies of agricultural systems of the Hill Tracts of Chittagong in Bangladesh using multivariate analysis. A total of 18 selected variables transformed into 4 factors extracted by principal factor method explain 77.21 % of the total...

Traffic characteristics and operations at the signalised intersections of developing cities are significantly different from those at the similar intersections of cities in developed countries. Considering this, a new microscopic simulation technique, where a co-ordinate approach to modelling...

This paper describes the micro-simulation modelling of traffic circles of developing cities and the capacity estimation thereof using simulation results. A new microscopic simulation technique, where a co-ordinate approach to modelling vehicle location is adopted, has been used to model the...
