Nature-based solutions for sustainable cities: A review of the state of the art of green roof research

Journal of Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies
The study of green roofs is an interdisciplinary field recognized for its eco-friendly roofingsolutions. Green roofs offer ecological, economic, and societal benefits, making them an ef-fective way to address urbanization's negative impacts.

Green Roofs for a Green Town: Possibilities of Green Roof Implementation in the Town of Normal [PDF]

, 2008
Green roofs have been growing in popularity throughout the world. Scientists have been studying them since the 1980’s. This research project reviews the literature regarding both the benefits and barriers to green roof construction and management ...

Performance analysis of vertically mounted bifacial PV modules on green roof system [PDF]

, 2018
A combination of PV and green roof is an ideal fusion in terms of ecology. The green roof improves the water retention in the city, whereas the PV system produces electric power at the place where it is consumed. Flat tilted modules in south or east west

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Influence of Sedum Species on Thermal Performance of Green Roofs in a Mediterranean Climate [PDF]

, 2019
The use of vegetated roofs (green roofs) is a common method for combatting the urban heat island effect and heat-related health consequences. The performance of green roofs depends on the type and composition of its various components, including plants ...

Relative importance of transpiration rate and leaf morphological traits for the regulation of leaf temperature [PDF]

, 2016
Urban greening solutions such as green roofs help improve residents’ thermal comfort and building insulation. However, not all plants provide the same level of cooling.

Revisiting a long‐overlooked skull: Implications for the distribution of Dinodontosaurus brevirostris (Kannemeyeriiformes) in the Brazilian Triassic

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dicynodonts (Anomodontia: Dicynodontia) were one of the main groups of terrestrial tetrapods in Permian and Triassic faunas. In Brazil, the genus Dinodontosaurus is one of the most common tetrapod taxon in the Triassic Santa Maria Supersequence. This genus has a complex taxonomic history and is represented in the Triassic of both Argentina and

Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...
