extensions of inquiry into stuckness: a consideration of how people and groups who have some power in shaping the built environment (e.g., developers, planners) may be stuck, and a consideration of when and under what circumstances people might get unstuck.

Microgrid has comes out one of the key spot in research on distributed energy system. Since the definition of Microgrid is paradigm by the first time, investigation in this area is growing continuously and there are numerous research projects in this moment over the world. This paper mainly focused on Power quality improvement in autonomous microgrid. Herein an optimal power control strategy for an autonomous microgrid is carried out in a real time self tuning method. Voltage frequency (Vf) regulation and Harmonic analysis are the main performance parameter which is consider in this work, particularly from grid connected to islanding operation mode. Especial design of controller scheme is composed of an inner current control loop and an outer power control loop in synchronous reference frame. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is an intelligent searching algorithm, which is applied for real time self tuning of control parameter. The simulation result shows that the proposed controller offers an excellent response to satisfy the Power quality improvement.

This paper and Part 1 which appeared in the last issue, set out the results of a housing field trial designed to evaluate the impact of an enhanced energy performance standard for dwellings. The project was designed to inform the next review of Part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales, which, following the publication of the UK government’s white paper on energy policy (DTI, 2003), is expected in 2005. The project reported explores the implications of an enhanced standard in the context of timber frame construction. Although for programming reasons it was necessary to terminate the research project at the end of the design phase, the results suggest that the standard investigated is well within the capacity of the industry but it was clear that the whole supply chain will need to take a positive approach to the development of new solutions. The secret to a smooth and cost optimised transition is for the necessary development work to begin immediately, not when regulation changes. AMEND

Obesity results from a complex interaction between diet, physical activity, and the environment. The built environment encompasses a range of physical and social elements that make up the structure of a community and may influence obesity. This review summarizes existing empirical research relating

Built environment characteristics are associated with walking, bicycling, transit use, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Developing built environments supportive of walking, bicycling, and transit use can help meet state VMT reduction goals. But tools are necessary to understand how changes
