Water conservation benefits of urban heat mitigation
Nature Communications, 2017 Cool roofs have been shown to mitigate heat in urban areas, but their impact on water conservation has not been examined. Here the authors conduct simulations with an urban canopy model to show that implementation of cool roofs in California can also ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The present study applied the diffusion of innovation theory to investigate the rate of diffusion of renewable energy sources used by Europe's top professional football stadiums and the relationship with carbon neutrality. A discrete diffusion model estimated the diffusion of renewable energy to saturation, and a multivariate logistic ...

Combined Thermal Effect of Cool Roof and Cool Façade on a Prototype Building
Energy Procedia, 2015 AbstractRecently, huge efforts were made to develop new passive solutions for optimizing building summer thermal-energy behavior. While cool roofs are well investigated, a lack of knowledge is detected about the benefits deriving from the combination of cool roofs and cool façades.

Development for cool roof calculator for India [PDF]
Energy and Buildings, 2016 Abstract In tropical countries such as India, increasing the roof albedo helps to reduce the heat ingress through the roof. This further reduces air-conditioning energy consumption in conditioned buildings and increases comfort in unconditioned buildings.

Monitoring the Energy-Use Effects of Cool Roofs on California Commercial Buildings [PDF]
, 2004 Solar-reflective roofs stay cooler in the sun than solar-absorptive roofs. Such ''cool'' roofs achieve lower surface temperatures that reduce heat conduction into the building and the building's cooling load.

The Role of Institutional Pressures in Technology Adoption for Low‐Carbon Manufacturing
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Existing research highlights that the adoption of low‐carbon technologies in manufacturing operations is shaped by the external environment. However, limited understanding exists regarding how technology‐related uncertainty interacts with institutional pressures to influence firms' adoption strategies.
