City Diplomacy as a Green Strategy? International Sister City Partnerships and Urban Decarbonization
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The establishment of international sister city partnerships (ISCPs) has expanded since the postwar era, developing from cultural exchanges into strategic diplomatic channels for sustainable development. While their socioeconomic benefits are well‐documented, their potential as instruments for global environmental governance and urban ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Weather, EarlyView.The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the origins of the words we use. In this paper, we will shed light on these origins, including the Pontic–Caspian steppe, the British Empire and, of course, a TV show.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To address the issue of low detection accuracy for zero‐value insulators in distribution lines, this study proposes a novel method for detecting these insulators based on the electroluminescence effect. Through theoretical analysis and experimentation, it was found that the luminescence intensity of ZnS:Cu electroluminescent material varies ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Strong wind–sand weather in Xinjiang threatens power grid safety by increasing transmission line tripping risks. Existing studies focus on sand polarization but neglect the coupled influence of high‐speed airflow and charged sand on gap discharge characteristics.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The thermal state of underground power cables can be monitored based on the temperature dependency of the dielectric permittivity of the insulation material. The resulting temperature‐dependent wave velocity is used as a thermometric property. To this end, the signal propagation time along a cable of an injected signal is determined.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To solve the ion‐flow field of ultrahigh‐voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission lines under strong‐wind scenarios, the multiple relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT‐LBM) is adopted. Compared with previous ion‐flow studies predominantly based on the single relaxation time LBM, the MRT‐LBM framework provides improved numerical ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ice accumulation on transmission lines poses a persistent threat to grid stability, yet precise technical guidance for the dynamic response during ice shedding under wind loads remains insufficient. In response to this issue, this study uses C++ to create a calculation program and obtains aerodynamic coefficients of ice‐covered conductors with

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The direct effects of lightning strikes on forest combustibles form the foundation for predicting lightning‐induced forest fires. Accurate assessment of lightning impact is hindered by limited knowledge of the conduction characteristics of standing larch trees.

EuroChoices, EarlyView.Summary Analysis of recent Eurostat data shows a progressive decline in EU cereal production. While cultivated acreage has contracted steadily since 2013, the most severe output reduction occurred during 2022–2024, driving a surge in import volumes. This is mirrored in Italy, exposing systemic vulnerabilities within high‐value agri‐food supply chains ...
