I. ABSTRACT Space exploration is a mechanism whereby with the use of astronomy and space technology man is able to explore outer space and the universe at large. Physical exploration of space is executed mainly via human spaceflights and robotic spacecrafts and the observation and surveillance of objects in space, known as astronomy; although predates reliable recorded history, only became a reality post the development of sophisticated and advanced spacecrafts during the early twentieth century
In today’s time vehicle parking is up-surging as a big problem. Since the population is increasing leading to increasing number of vehicles, however the parking space is yet same which has created a headache to park our vehicles. People end up parking their vehicles along the roads further leading to traffic jams.

of the occupant and the building systems is one of the aspects of occupant behaviour. Tabak and de Vries (2010) explain behaviour as the result of physical and psychological needs. Physical needs are dependent on the person and are in relation with space, lighting, thermal conditions and acoustics (Zimmermann, 2006). Psychological needs are personal and are the result of personalization, privacy and interaction. Occupant behaviour can be explained as ‘behaviours which a person in a room of a building
academic performance. Some studies for general annoyance and activity disturbances show that train noise is more annoying where simultaneous exposure to vibration occurs, due to difficulties in differentiating between noise and vibration which leads to exacerbation of annoyance from noise [2, 3]. Because transportation noise pollution impacts large numbers of people, railway infrastructure managers demand the assessment of operation transport disturbances effects and its mitigation. In addition, ground-borne
Thermal comfort of persons staying outdoors is one of the factors that would encourage outdoor activities. City residents normally spend much time indoors without enjoying the outside natural wind and sunshine .Residents wish to have outdoor spaces to enjoy walking, cycling, and other activities. Thus on a hot summer day or cold winter day, people are discouraged to spend time outdoor and get exposed to thermally uncomfortable environment.

varies of centralised activities in critical data evaluation and process monitoring. RBM is a monitoring approach which combines risk assessment and risk management by utilising key data indicators, along with analytical tools to identify risk at study level, site level and subject level respectively. It also introduces the new term Source Data Review (SDR) to the industry. Source Data Verification which is known as SDV is defined as “the process by which
The word wellbeing entails a multifaceted dimensions; it can’t be solely measured through the physiological lens alone, but should also be viewed through the fulfillment of non-physiological indicators, such as emotional state. In this case, culture may add a dynamic dimension to the quality of life.
