The Individual and Combined Effects of Warming and Atrazine on Lithobates pipiens Phenotypes: Implications for Frog Declines

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate class globally. Climate change, agrochemicals, and/or pathogens and parasites are implicated in contributing to amphibian declines, either singly or in combination. We investigated individual and combined effects of elevated temperatures and atrazine (2.0 μg/L) on Lithobates [formerly Rana] pipiens

Integrated tree canopy expansion and cool roofs can optimize air temperature and heat exposure reductions in Boston

Communications Earth & Environment
Tree canopy expansion and albedo management represent pathways to reduce urban heat. Here we develop a statistical model to downscale coarse resolution estimates of air temperature and estimate marginal impacts of tree canopy and cool roof solutions ...

Urban Heat Island in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East: Multi‐City Approach in Regional Climate Modelling

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study presents that the WRF model, coupled with bulk urban parameterization, effectively captures the summer urban heat island (UHI) patterns across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, showing stronger night‐time surface UHIs (5°C–6°C) and daytime surface cool islands (up to 12.5°C).

Applications of a Novel Wireless System for Real‐Time Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Developed monitoring system is a powerful tool for real‐time atmospheric corrosion monitoring. Humidity plays a critical role in the corrosion process. Limiting environmental parameters inducing maximum corrosion vary depending on the pollutants present. A monitoring system can be used in a wide range of scientific and practical applications.

Green roofs: roof system reducing heating and cooling costs

Business & IT, 2016
Green roofs are among the passive building systems that contribute to the thermal stability of the rooms under the roof in both summer and winter. Green roofs can provide a significant contribution to the thermal balance of the protected space. Over the past ten years, many studies have been carried out to investigate the energy benefits of green roofs

Nondestructive Quantification of Water Ingress in PV Modules via Spectroscopic and Chemical Analysis for Enhanced Quality Assurance and On‐Site Inspection

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel, nondestructive in situ method to quantify water ingress using near‐infrared absorption (NIRA) spectroscopy, calibrated with absolute water content via Karl–Fischer titration (KFT). The presented approach offers a powerful quality assurance and inspection tool for module manufacturers and solar developers, supporting ...

Integrating tunable LED‐induced plant responses with novel solar cell technologies for energy‐efficient agrivoltaic systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The increasing demand for sustainable food production requires innovative solutions that balance productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental impact. Vertical Farming Systems (VFSs) offer a promising approach; however, their high energy consumption remains challenging.
