3. An overview of the site and case studies: 3.1. Climate in Arwad Island and Outdoor weather during the period of measurement: The general climate of Arwad island is Mediterranean moderate climate all year round, latitude 34.53North and longitude 35.53East, which is characterized by the four seasons, humid environment, rainy winter weather and the prevailing wind is south and southwestern (Amer and Abou Hamed 2011). The average value of the diurnal highest temperature in Tartous is in summer in August with about 30◦C, and the mean value of the minimum temperature is in winter in January with about 7◦C, and the average of humidity between 60-75% (Meteorological center of Tartous 2015).. Heat and humidity are the main issues that need to be considered for achieving comfort in the climate of Arwad Island. The prevailing winds during the period of measurement were westerly winds; wind velocity was about 1.3-3.1 m/s in the daytime, and the highest temperature is 35°C, the lowest temperature of 27°C, the relative humidity in the atmosphere was very high with mean value ranged between 70% -90%, and 13 hours of daylight per day and 11 hours of sunshine per day (79% of daylight hours) in August, 28°C sea temperature in August in Tartous (Meteorological center of Tartous 2015).Due to the lack of climatic data in the existence of meteorological station of Arwad and Tartous for several years ago, we used the available temperature data from 1952 to 2012 of Lattakia, a nearby coastal city…

5.3. Ventilation: No matter the courtyard is small or big in these two buildings, the ventilation still has very small values, due to the closing massive walls towards the outside and opening towards the inside in the origin design, and the semi-closed windows later during the operation. Both buildings need an increase of ventilation ranging between 0.06-0.1 m/s comparing with 0.15 m/s of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard for occupant comfort (ANSI/ASHRAE 1992), taking into account the consideration of…

Thousands of years ago, there was nothing but a primordial God named Chaos which means "the gap" in Greek. He first made the earth and sky. Then he made the sea and a pit of darkness named Tartus. Also he used his powers to make Gaea, the goddess of the earth and another primordial goddess. After years of begging Chaos for a mate, he accepted it out of annoyance or boredom. So, he made Uranus, the god of the sky and Heaven. Together, they had three sets of children: the elder cyclops, the…

Homer VS Hesiod Have you ever wondered what people thought before the start of philosophy? If you look in a textbook it will tell you about myths. More importantly, it will tell you about two poets, Homer and Hesiod, who wrote about those myths. Each of them have their differences and similarities. This paper is not just about one or the other but about both and how they compare. Lets start with Hesiod. He claims to have written his poems when he was inspired by the gods, also known as divine…

floating around the room, taking account of the present faces. “Oh my god,” she muttered. “Where’s Doctor Tartus?” We hurriedly made our way back into the dormancy chamber. The room was vacated, each sleeper pod locked in place to their respective spots on the wall. “ELIE, reexamine life support systems,” Terra said, gazing up the fluorescent lights flooding the room in a bright white glow. “All life support systems functional, Doctor Valens,” replied the autonomous voice. “That can’t be right,”…

different. Brazil and Russia have joined together to work on projects dealing with cybersecurity as well as with space technology (paragraph 21 lines 4-5). In South East Asia, Russia is emerging as a military goods supplier to Myanmar and Vietnam. 3. What do experts believe are Russia’s motives for supporting the Assad regime in Syria? In recent times, Russia has been assuming a more active role in Middle Eastern conflict zones (paragraph 36 Lines 1-2). According to Armenian scholar…

It all started with Chaos, the origin of everything. Erebus (the personification of darkness) submerged out of chaos, followed by love and light. When Gaea (mother nature, as well as earth) submerged she gave birth to Uranus (the sky), who eventually, fell in love with Gaea. They had their first two children. Uranus hated his first children, the three Hecatoncheires, and Three Cyclopes. Uranus was terrified of them, imprisoned them on earth all by their lonesome. This infuriated Gaea, and she…

would then be taken to the river of Styx. There the dead would have to pay the ferryman, Charon, with a coin that would have been placed in their physical body’s mouth before being buried. The coin was not seen as payment to cross the river. Rather, it represents one’s relationship with the Gods, and shows acknowledgment to one’s debt to the Gods for their protection and guidance. Once across the river, one will be met and judged by Minos, Aenaeus, and Rhadymanthas. Here one would recount…

Khan took control over the Tatars and formed himself an army out of them they kept pushing eastward into russia and dominating different places and taking over.

because of intervening regional and world powers. Russia, in a sense, is in opposition to the U.S. The proxy status of the war has actually been to the detriment of Syria, as military, financial and political support have intensified the conflict, rather than resolved it. In layman’s terms, there are a few different reasons to why Russia so adamantly supports Bashar al-Assad, but they basically revolve around creating a stronghold in the Middle East. Russia’s naval base is in Syria, Russia…
