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

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

FGFR Like1 drives esophageal cancer progression via EMT, PI3K/Akt, and notch signalling: insights from clinical data and next‐generation sequencing analysis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Clinical analysis reveals significant dysregulation of FGFRL1 in esophageal cancer (EC) patients. RNAi‐coupled next‐generation sequencing (NGS) and in vitro study reveal FGFRL1‐mediated EC progression via EMT, PI3K/Akt, and Notch pathways. Functional assays confirm its role in tumor growth, migration, and invasion.

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.

Heating and cooling system [PDF]

, 1982
A heating and cooling apparatus capable of cyclic heating and cooling of a test specimen undergoing fatigue testing is discussed. Cryogenic fluid is passed through a block clamped to the speciment to cool the block and the specimen.

Using green to cool the grey: Modelling the cooling effect of green spaces with a high spatial resolution.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
The urban heat island effect creates warmer and drier conditions in urban areas than in their surrounding rural areas. This effect is predicted to be exacerbated in the future, under a climate change scenario.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.
