The Albedo of Pervious Cement Concrete Linearly Decreases with Porosity

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
Pervious pavements have been advocated as a potential countermeasure to the urban heat island effect. To understand if pervious pavements stay cooler than conventional pavements, the albedo of the pervious concrete must be understood. This study measured

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Albedo distribution in Lutzow-Holm Bay and its neighborhood

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1997
A method has been developed for estimating the filtered narrow band surface albedo with NOAA/AVHRR data, and has been applied to analysis of the surface albedo distribution in Lutzow-Holm Bay and its neighborhood, Antarctica, in 1990.

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Effect of Martian Suspended Dust on Albedo Measurements from the MGS-TES Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Suspended dust on Mars influences albedo measurements by orbiting instruments, but not necessary the real surface albedo. The aim of this study is to characterize the role of suspended aerosols on albedo measurement by remote sensing ...

Late Holocene moisture variability in Arctic Alaska from chitin δ18O

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Amplified warming in the Arctic has resulted in reduced sea‐ice extent, which can impact regional climate dynamics. Elucidating past moisture variability in response to changing temperatures and sea‐ice conditions can offer insight into how anthropogenic climate change may impact Arctic areas such as the Alaskan North Slope in the future. We contribute

Single-image RGB Photometric Stereo With Spatially-varying Albedo

open access: yes, 2016
We present a single-shot system to recover surface geometry of objects with spatially-varying albedos, from images captured under a calibrated RGB photometric stereo setup---with three light directions multiplexed across different color channels in the ...

The Acts of Eadburg: drypoint additions to Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Selden Supra 30

open access: yesEarly Medieval Europe, EarlyView.
In 1913, two drypoint additions were identified in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Selden Supra 30 (SS30), an eighth‐century Southumbrian copy of the Acts of the Apostles. It was suggested that these additions, cut into the membrane of p. 47, were abbreviations of the Old English female name, Eadburg. Just over a century later, many more drypoint markings
