Environmental impact assessment of green roofs using life cycle assessment
Energy Reports, 2020 The main objective of this study was to analyse the environmental impacts of roof top greenery systems for a building in Sydney, Australia, using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). SimaPro software was used for the simulation. The input data for SimaPro on

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.

Green roofs and green façades for improving sustainability of towns [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2018 Nowadays, buildings in Europe account for a consumption of 40% of total energy use and about 65% of total electricity consumption. According to the European Directive on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD Directive), solutions such as green roofs and green walls can help to reduce energy consumptions and the greenhouse gases emissions by ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Green-Roof Effects on Neighborhood Microclimate and Human Thermal Sensation
Energies, 2013 Green roofs have been recognized as an effective sustainable design tool to mitigate urban heat island (UHI) effects. Previous studies have identified green-roof benefits in cooling and energy-conservation at the building scale, with limited exploration ...

The evapotranspiration process in green roofs: A review [PDF]
Building and Environment, 2019 Previous research has shown that most of the green roof benefits are related to the cooling effect. In the literatura available, however, it is still not clear how and how much the evapotranspiration affects the performance of a green roof. In order to fill the gap in this research topic, this study carries out a review on the cooling effect due to the

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Thermal performance in green roof retrofit
, 2016 Green areas has diminished in big cities. Increasing temperatures and deterioration of air quality is a common result. Consequently, there is a rise in air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, costs with air conditioning, and mortality and heat ...
