Green Roof Research

The concept of green roofs is basically about growing plants on roofs, thus helping to replace the

green footprint that had been destroyed due to the construction of the building. Green roofs are the most prevalent（流行）in Germany, which is widely regarded as the leader in green roof research.

The green roofs that are used these days can be classified as "extensive" and “intensive” systems. Extensive green roofs use mosses, grasses and herbs, which are tolerant to droughts. These plants do not need much maintenance, can be grown in a layer of substrate（土层）that can be as shallow as 1.5 inches, and generally are inaccessible to the public. In contrast, a wide range of species of plants are

grown on intensive green roofs, such as shrubs（灌木）and even trees, which require deeper substrate layers, and are usually grown on flat roofs. They need intensive maintenance, and are usually areas that resemble parks which are accessible to people.

There are several benefits of adopting green roof technologies. Apart from the obvious psychological and aesthetic（暮学的）benefits of garden-like environments surrounding you, some of the common economic and ecological benefits are: a reduction in the consumption of energy；air and water purification；recovering green spaces: and the mitigation（缓解）of the heat island effect in urban areas.

The green roof research that is currently ongoing is focused on evaluating the species of plants that are suitable to be grown on roofs, the methods of propagation（繁殖）as well as establishment, nutrient（养料）and water requirement, substrates, and the quantity and quality of water runoff. The evaluation criteria of plant species are: at what rate they can be established: their capacity to withstand invasive weeds: tolerance of cold and heat: tolerance of drought conditions: capacity of persistence and survival.

A number of experiments are being conducted on roof platform simulations at various research centers. These sites are generally outfitted with equipment, which are used to measure temperatures at different depths of the growing substrates, and the rate and volume of the runoff of stormwaters from each of the platforms.

Green roof technology is representative of a completely new market for landscape contractors, and all roofs that currently exist and the future ones to be constructed are the potential market—a market that is too huge to be overlooked.

The Supercomputer Network

1 Recently, ten laboratories run by governments in different parts of the world have become linked. Their computers have been connected so they can “talk” to each other. This may not seem very dramatic news, but it is the beginning of a development that will increase the power of the Internet tremendously.

2 The Internet is an interconnected（互联）system of networks that connects computers round the world and facilitates the transmission and exchange of information. The way that you use the Internet is by accessing this network. This depends on the power that your system allows you to use. The power of

your computer is responsible for how fast you can download（下载）files, how much data you can store, etc. If your computer is old and slow, accessing the information can be very difficult.

3 The new development in information technology has been called “the grid” （网格技术）, and it will be a network of compu …… 此处隐藏：21271字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
