Identifying the Influencing Factors of Cooling Effect of Urban Blue Infrastructure Using the Geodetector Model

Remote Sensing, 2022
The urban heat island (UHI) effect has a serious negative impact on urban ecosystems and human well-being. Mitigating UHI through nature-based methods is highly recommended.

How to Plan Urban Parks and the Surrounding Buildings to Maximize the Cooling Effect: A Case Study in Xi’an, China

Land
Urban areas with parks tend to have the best outdoor thermal comfort in regions with high urban heat island effects during summer. This study analyzed the synergistic cooling effects of 94 urban parks and the adjacent built-up areas in six districts of ...

Effectiveness of hand cooling and a cooling jacket on post‐exercise cooling rates in hyperthermic athletes [PDF]

European Journal of Sport Science, 2018
AbstractThis study compared the effects of a hand cooling glove (∼16°C water temperature; subatmospheric pressure of −40 mmHg) and a cooling jacket (CJ) on post‐exercise cooling rates (gastrointestinal core temperature, Tc; skin temperature, Tsk) and cognitive performance (the Stroop Colour–Word test). Twelve male athletes performed four trials (within

Cooling Effect of the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability

, 2015
We provide numerical evidence that the Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability contributes to the cooling of a relativistic fluid. Due to the presence of jet particles traveling throughout the medium, shock waves are generated in the form of Mach cones.

Perturbative analysis of two-temperature radiative shocks with multiple cooling processes [PDF]

, 1999
The structure of the hot downstream region below a radiative accretion shock, such as that of an accreting compact object, may oscillate because of a global thermal instability.

Optimizing the landscape pattern of blue-green space is more effective than simply increasing the area for cooling effect

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
BackgroundBlue-Green Space (BGS) is critical for mitigating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect amid rapid global urbanization. However, the comparative cooling efficiency of BGS landscape configuration versus simple area expansion remains understudied ...

How does the ambient environment respond to the industrial heat island effects? An innovative and comprehensive methodological paradigm for quantifying the varied cooling effects of different landscapes

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2022
Local landscape patterns in cities can substantially alter surrounding land surface temperature (LST) and affect the surface urban heat island effect.

Sympathetic Cooling of Mixed Species Two-Ion Crystals for Precision Spectroscopy [PDF]

, 2012
Sympathetic cooling of trapped ions has become an indispensable tool for quantum information processing and precision spectroscopy. In the simplest situation a single Doppler-cooled ion sympathetically cools another ion which typically has a different ...
