Complexities of peroxyacetyl nitrate photochemistry and its control strategies in contrasting environments in the Pearl River Delta region

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a hazardous secondary pollutant and a nitrogen reservoir in the troposphere, while comprehensive studies on its spatiotemporal distribution, chemical sources, and control strategies are limited.

Deployment Support for Sensor Networks in Indoor Climate Monitoring

Int. J. Distributed Sens. Networks, 2013
Automatic recognition of personal comfort is critical in realizing autonomous control of building utilities. We can infer human comfort level based on indoor environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, collected through sensor networks ...

One Century of Forest Monitoring Data in Switzerland Reveals Species- and Site-Specific Trends of Climate-Induced Tree Mortality

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Climate-induced tree mortality became a global phenomenon during the last century and it is expected to increase in many regions in the future along with a further increase in the frequency of drought and heat events.

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

The Impact of Photochemical Loss on the Source Apportionment of Ambient Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Their Ozone Formation Potential in the Fenwei Plain, Northern China

Atmosphere
The Fenwei Plain (FWP), one of China’s most polluted regions, has experienced severe ozone (O3) pollution in recent years. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), key O3 precursors, undergo significant photochemical degradation, yet their loss and the ...

Spatial interpolation of high-frequency monitoring data

, 2009
Climate modelers generally require meteorological information on regular grids, but monitoring stations are, in practice, sited irregularly. Thus, there is a need to produce public data records that interpolate available data to a high density grid ...

Using life-history traits to explain bird population responses to changing weather variability [PDF]

, 2011
Bird population dynamics are expected to change in response to increased weather variability, an expression of climate change. The extent to which species are sensitive to effects of weather on survival and reproduction depends on their life-history ...
