Feasibility of Using Green Roofs and Cool Roofs for Extreme Heat Mitigation in Melbourne, Australia
Heatwaves pose undesirable consequences to human health as a ‘silent killer’ and penalise the environmental, economic and social aspects. Future heatwaves are predicted to be more severe, longer and more frequent.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The adoption of solar photovoltaic systems (SPVS) in passive houses (PHs) is shaped by technical, economic and policy‐related factors. Yet, the interactions among these factors have not been quantitatively modelled in the New Zealand context.

steel research international, EarlyView.Paint baking of resistance spot welded joints of 2.0 GPa warm‐stamped medium‐Mn steel activates low‐temperature tempering, forming fine cementite in the fusion zone and enhancing toughness. Crack propagation resistance increases, shifting the failure mode from partial interfacial to complete pullout, with peak load and energy absorption rising ...

steel research international, EarlyView.The high‐strain‐rate behavior of resistance spot‐welded DP800–DP1000 joints is investigated. Results show that microstructural gradients across BM–HAZ–FZ govern hardness, strain rate sensitivity, and failure modes. While strength increases with strain rate, energy absorption is controlled by ductility, with DP800–DP800 joints showing superior ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Ground granulated blast‐furnace slag (GGBS) is a widely used clinker substitute in concrete, recognized for its potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts. However, its application in prestressed concrete remains limited in several countries, mainly due to concerns regarding early‐age mechanical performance and long‐term ...

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.While higher temperatures are generally expected to increase amphibian growth, our experiments with captive‐reared Eastern Hellbenders found no evidence that growth increased at a rearing temperature of 21°C relative to 16°C. As Eastern Hellbender reintroduction efforts move forward, a focus on other conditions, such as density or diet, might be more ...
