Abstract. Mesocosms are an alternative to in situ ocean environmental studies which are very difficult to implement due to the challenges that the aquatic environment impose. The design of a mesocosm should consider as many variables as possible of the ecosystem to be studied, in order to obtain results that are similar to those that would be obtained in the environment. The effects of tropical climatic conditions on a mesocosm enclosure were studied in order to evaluate their possible influence on the biological community. The mesocosm was equipped with an electric marine thruster as a means of avoiding stratification in the water contained in it. Also, the system is submerged in water to increase the thermal inertia and maintain the temperature variations within reasonable ranges. The design does not include auxiliary forcing cooling systems. The results revealed the influence of climatology on the mesocosms’ temperature and showed the feasibility of the proposed design in tropical environments. With high variations of ambient temperature (> 20 ºC, during the day), the variations in the mesocosm temperature were only 3 ºC. The range of temperature variations were similar to those that occur in certain tropical environments.

Low Cost Housing

Abstract: Home is a basic necessity for everyone and becomes one the critical challenges faced by the developing countries. India is currently facing a shortage of about 17.6 million houses and the situation is no different in Kashmir if not more prominent owing to the geographical and climatic conditions of the valley. Presently in Kashmir, We witness that the Middle income groups, low income groups and economically weaker sections of the society, which are growing in size, are struggling to have their own houses. Concrete and steel housing cost a fortune so low cost and sustainable buildings are much needed in Kashmir. Low Cost Housing’ refers to those housing units which are affordable by that section of society where income is below MHI (Median Housing Income). It includes the use of construction methods that are cost effective, innovative and environment friendly and allow for a speedy construction. The paper deals with the present and the future trends about low cost housing materials and technologies in Kashmir. These technologies & materials, if implemented, can reduce the present housing problems up to some extent. Keywords: AAC, GFRG, filler slabs, SPW, CEB
