Integrating Remote Sensing and Machine Learning for Enhanced Surface Urban Heat Island Analysis and Its Impact on Building Energy Demand

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Satellite (MODIS) mapping links Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity to city‐scale energy demand—higher daytime cooling demand and altered nighttime heating demand—supporting targeted mitigation and planning. ABSTRACT This study examines the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect on building energy consumption in Tehran from 1998 to 2024, utilizing MODIS

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (Ta) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (Ts) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between Ta and Ts. The spatial and statistical characteristics of Ta − Ts dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

Laboratory and Environmental Assessment of Asphalt Mixture Modified with a Compound of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement and Waste Polyethylene

Buildings
The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in manufacturing asphalt concrete has become indispensable all over the world. This is due to the limited number of areas that are required to stockpile scraped pavement, as well as a lack of natural aggregate,

Performance evaluation of a HMA pavement longitudinal joint containing a void reducing asphalt membrane (VRAM)

Frontiers in Materials, 2023
Longitudinal joint cracking in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements is a major issue that occurs because high density (low air voids) is not easily achieved during construction as compared to the mat away from the joints.

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.

Overview on cold cement bitumen emulsion asphalt

RILEM Technical Letters, 2016
Cold mix asphalt, a promising substitute for conventional hot mix asphalt, is manufactured at ambient temperature using bitumen emulsion as binder. To improve its strength and durability, cement is often added to the mixture.

Testing the parameters of hot-mix asphalt incorporating asphalt granulat

Budownictwo o Zoptymalizowanym Potencjale Energetycznym
In recent years, the scale of use of recycled asphalt pavements for the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA) in Poland has been much smaller than in most other developed countries. Recently issued legal regulations and technical guidelines give hope for significant progress in this field.

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...
