The vast increase of energy consumption, global warming and the harm they cause to the environment, emerge to be a major obstruction that distresses the world today. The current work views one of the methods that the world focused on as means of reducing the environmental harms and that is, through green building, or in more common words sustainable buildings. Those means, covers the exercising of a wide range of applications including merging of new and specific technologies in which through fulfilling its basis, the process of evaluation of the building takes place in terms of its harmony with the environment, reduction of energy consumption, and the reduction of the environmental problems caused by the building life cycle starting from defining of location, design of the building, operation, maintenance, repairing and up to the renewal of the building.  Despite the significance of green building, no profit nor implementations has yet been made in Libya. The latter is due to the lack of awareness by many Libyan social groups. From here, the idea behind this paper crystalized. It aims to spread and enhance the knowledge and techniques of green building. It also penetrates into the green building features and advantages that are considered to be a preliminary step to start its application in a wide range coinciding with the grand progress that the country has witnessed in the field of construction and housing. This paper concludes that it is possible to reduce energy consumption and the harm it causes to the environment after the implementation and merging of green building techniques and should be applied on a large scale covering the whole country.

Potential Benefits

It is clear to everyone that investment in the agricultural sector in developing countries is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty and hunger in the world. Agricultural investment can generate a wide range of development opportunities. However, these benefi ts cannot be expected to arise automatically. Some forms of large-scale investment pose significant risks to investor states. It should be noted, however, that, despite discussions about the potential benefits and risks of international investment, there is still no evidence of negative actual consequences for the countries receiving investments. This article examines the issues of investment activity in relation to developing countries using the example of US agribusiness entities.

In the fifties and sixties a great deal of money and time was spent on the development of automatic translation systems. Because of the meagre results and sombre perspectives all large scale research projects were abandoned. The eighties show a renewed interest in the field of automatic translating. It is, therefore, a valid question whether old problems have been solved and new perspectives have been uncovered. A critical analysis shows that progress has been made in the domains of hardware (speed of data processing and data storage) and the organisation of data. The basic linguis-tic problems have not, however, been solved. Linguistic research that is not first and foremost directed at descriptive (instead of representational) problems and at fundamental problems such as the relation between syntax, semantics and knowledge of the world is subject to the same fate as the research into automatic translating in the fifties.

Concerning the problem that classical time synchronization algorithms applied to large-scale Wireless Sensor Network have low precision and high energy consumption, this paper proposes a time synchronization algorithm based on cluster-tree. The algorithm can decrease the synchronization hop count by constructing a spanning tree, and uses two-way SRS in inter-cluster and one-way ROS in intra-cluster to reduce the number of messages required for the network synchronization. The experimental results show that the algorithm can keep the network synchronization precision at a higher level and effectively reduce energy consumption of nodes compared with the RBS and TPSN.

Reduction Of Energy Consumption

<p>Wireless sensor network consists of hundred or thousand sensor nodes that are connected together and work simultaneously to perform some special tasks. The restricted energy of sensor nodes is the main challenge in wireless sensor network as node energy depletion causes node death. Therefore, some techniques should be exerted to reduce energy consumption in these networks. One of the techniques to reduce energy consumptions most effectively is the use of clustering in wireless sensor networks.</p><p>There are various methods for clustering process, among which LEACH is the most common and popular one. In this method, clusters are formed in a probabilistic manner. Among clustering strategies, applying evolutional algorithm and fuzzy logic simultaneously are rarely taken into account. The main attention of previous works was energy consumption and less attention was paid to delay.</p><p>In the present proposed method, clusters are constructed by an evolutional algorithm and a fuzzy system such that in addition to a reduction of energy consumption, considerable reduction of delay is also obtained. The simulation results clearly reveal the superiority of the proposed method over other reported approaches.</p>

Energy consumption has reached its highest level globally. Buildings have the largest share in total energy consumption, so designers must take into account their functioning and the consequences that can arise. Passive solar design is an imperative in modern architecture, and Trombe wall, as one of the principles of this design, is certainly distinguished. The paper presents an overview of the characteristics of the construction of the Trombe Wall in order to improve thermal stability and reduce energy consumption in buildings. Starting from the consideration of climatic influencing factors, through the heat capacity of the materials applied and their thickness and color of the thermal mass, it is very important to know in detail all the factors that can lead to the improvement of the efficiency of this system. The specific heat of the walls in the building, the time delay, the decrement factor and the influence and position of the thermal insulation were also taken into account. The effect of glazing as well as the influence of the ventilation openings were highlighted as significant elements. On the basis of the analysis of the above components, the conclusions and guidelines for designing this type of constructions were made in order to improve the efficiency and reduced energy consumption while providing adequate comfort in the facility.
