Due to high risk of unstable supply from fossil energy and growing concern with the preservation of the environment, well-developed Jiangsu province in China is hungering for alternative energy resources to catalyze stupendous economic growth. Assessing the technically available potential of solar energy spatially and temporally over the whole province might be able to improve the unfavorable situation...
A method is proposed to assign the priority for indicators in this paper. This proposed method combines the group analytic hierarchy process (group AHP) and cluster analysis, therefore, it highlights the democracy and avoids the extreme individual preference in group decision. This method has been used to weight 17 identified indicators for assessing the energy efficiency of residential building in...
Rainwater utilization by means of pipe-bound systems in private households, public buildings and industry, which is spring up at Germany in ninety years last century. The idea was to save valuable drinking water and not to use it for flushing toilets etc but to substitute it by collected rainwater.

From local scale to globe one, the spatial distribution of human population is essential to the research in the fields crossing Demography, Humanities and Social Sciences, Environmental Science, etc. The census data of human population traditionally used inevitably have the disadvantage of low spatial and temporal resolution, and it's difficult to integrate the census data with multi-source ones as...
With the continuous improvement of remote sensing image, especially the appearance of Digital Aerial Image, make the texture features of image more significantly and the deeply mining possibly and the object-oriented information extraction method has been applied on digital aerial image since the object-oriented information extraction method has been proposed, it has been applied in many fields and...
Energy saving potential in the AC (air conditioning) system is the focus of the researchers all over the world. In China, the main problems in AC systems are the high consumption and low utilization of energy. Enormous energy is consumed by the air conditioning systems of residential buildings, which makes the energy conservation more important. Currently many kinds of central air-conditioning systems...
Construction of "leading" and "learning" pattern of plant protection Major under popularization of higher education background, which is a new education idea and China agricultural education strategy demands of the era needed. It is the urgent need also what raises the student independent learning ability, the university carries out the education for all-around development, the...

Based on introducing the concept and the core idea of the partnering pattern and according to the contradictory relations of different parties in project, such as which between main bodies of tendering,...
Extracting waterbody of Chengdu city of China from Beijing-1 micro-satellite images based on knowledge discovery is discussed here. Firstly, the waterbody is extracted from panchromatic image by using suitable threshold value and it is divided into the large waterbody and the small waterbody. Secondly, The shades of the large buildings are removed from the large waterbody by using the spatial relationship...
