Integrating Remote Sensing and Machine Learning for Enhanced Surface Urban Heat Island Analysis and Its Impact on Building Energy Demand

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Satellite (MODIS) mapping links Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity to city‐scale energy demand—higher daytime cooling demand and altered nighttime heating demand—supporting targeted mitigation and planning. ABSTRACT This study examines the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect on building energy consumption in Tehran from 1998 to 2024, utilizing MODIS

Nonthermal Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the shift from traditional thermal food preservation methods to advanced nonthermal technologies. Traditional methods, represented by heating, often compromise the nutritional and sensory quality of foods. In contrast, nonthermal approaches such as high‐pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric field (PEF ...

Downdraft Devices for Negative Emissions—Quantification Study and Environmental Implication

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential far exceeding that of CO2 over short time horizons. Its removal from the atmosphere remains challenging due to its low ambient concentration and chemical stability. This study explores downdraft energy towers (DETs) as an innovative CH4 mitigation technology that enhances
