Spacematrix: Space, Density and Urban Form - revised edition

Spacematrix explores the potential of urban density as a tool for urban planning and design.<br/>This revised and extended edition of Meta Berghauser Pont and Per Haupt’s 2010 volume includes an extensive analysis of the relations between density, urban form and performance – a prerequisite for understanding and successfully predicting the...

Policies and regulations for sustainable building: A comparative study of five European countries

Orientation on quantitative IR-thermografy in wall-shear stress measurements

Wall-shear stresses are highly important in the aerodynamic design of aircraft, because they determine the drag and thus the fuel consumption of an airplane. Due to this importance many different measurement techniques have been developed. Most of these techniques are intrusive, which means that the flow is disturbed by the presence of a...

Spectral analysis of individual realization LDA data

The estimation of the autocorrelation function (act) or the spectral density function (sdt) from LDA data poses unique data-processing problems. The random sampling times in LDA preclude the use of the spectral methods for equi-spaced samples. As a consequence, special data-processing algorithms are used to process the LDA data. However, the...

Analysis of the competitive position of short sea shipping: Development of policy measures

This study on the potentialof Short Sea Shipping (SSS) in Europe, with a focus on four corridors, consists of four parts. In the first part (Chapter I) the existing intra-European SSS-traffic is identified and analyzed for each relevant category of goods and transport corridor. In the second part (Chapter II), a new methodology is proposed for...
