Urban heat wave hazard and risk assessment

Results in Physics, 2017
Heat waves are one of the largest causes of environmentally-related deaths globally. The intensification of the effects of heat waves by the urban heat island during extended periods of extreme heat, combined with urban demographics, are key elements ...

Enhancement of the Through‐Thickness Electrical Conductivity of Carbon‐Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Using Large Graphite Particles

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
To enhance through‐thickness conductivity without sacrificing impregnation, large spherical graphite particles are intentionally employed in a low‐viscosity resin. Unlike finer conductive fillers, these particles remain outside the fiber bundles and accumulate in resin‐rich interlaminar regions during molding.

Digital Light Processing of Thermoplastic Poly(methyl methacrylate) Photoresin Combined With Solvent Vapor Smoothing

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A thermoplastic PMMA‐based photoresin enables high‐resolution DLP printing followed by solvent‐vapor smoothing. The treatment reduces staircase‐induced surface roughness from 2.33 µm to 129 nm and increases visible‐light transmittance from approximately 30% to 80%, providing a route toward transparent PMMA components for rapid prototyping and non ...

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

On the estimation of heat-intensity and heat-duration effects in time series models of temperature-related mortality in Stockholm, Sweden

Environmental Health, 2012
Background We examine the effect of heat waves on mortality, over and above what would be predicted on the basis of temperature alone. Methods Present modeling approaches may not fully capture extra effects relating to heat wave duration, possibly ...
