Building Green in Jordan? Performance Evaluation of the aqaba Residential Energy Efficiency Pilot Project (AREE)

The AREE house was built in 2007/2008 to provide a showcase of a high performance building in Aqaba city in the southern part of Jordan. The total energy performance of the building was achieved through three types of measures grouped into passive design elements, material choices and renewable energy installations. The energy performance and associated costs and benefits for each type were modell

Discontinuity preserving visual reconstruction by means of potential theory

Discontinuity preserving interpolation methods are often desirable in image reconstruction from sparse visual data. Two such schemes are constructed by interpreting the image as the potentialcause by some distribution of charges, and then detecting certain patterns (notably dipole curves) among the charges. Experiments have been performed on an ink-jet plotter, showing good performance.

A transdisciplinary, participatory and action-oriented research approach: Sounds nice but what do you mean?

This paper discusses transdisciplinary, participatory and action-oriented approaches to research on urbansustainable development. Phronetic planning research, as described by Bent Flyvberg (2004), is highlighted as one interesting approach which combines many of the general themes here dealt with. A special section is devoted to discuss quality criteria of transdisciplinary research. The paper is
