The Hidden Costs of Coffee Production in the Eastern African Value Chains

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is increasing recognition that significant hidden costs associated with agrifood systems are not reflected in market prices. Coffee is among the three most traded agricultural commodities in the world and supports the livelihoods of more than 30 million smallholder households.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Climate change – health impacts due to changes in the indoor environment; research need [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
People in industrialised countries spend approximately 80% of their time indoors and the young and the elderly and people in poor health are likely to spend considerably more time indoors, particularly at home. Therefore all aspects of health that are

Influence of Temperature on the Reliability of Graphene‐Based Ozone Sensors

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The reliability and stability of inkjet‐printed graphene flake sensors are evaluated. Stress assessments take place in ozone‐rich environments and at elevated temperatures, with the observation of a change in resistance. Surface‐sensitive techniques serve to investigate the failure and degradation mechanisms of printed graphene.

Study on the Thermal Environment and Indoor Comfort of Half Glass Curtain Buildings – a Case of Kouhu Visitor Center in Yunlin County, Taiwan

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Located in the subtropics, the high temperature in summer affects indoor living environments in Taiwan. The use of perspective glass material for modern public buildings increases the transparency of landscape views; however, the solar radiation heat ...

Bright Self‐Trapped Exciton Emission of CsPbBr3@CsPb2Br5 Nanostructures Created by Dissolution and Recrystallization of Hydrophilic Cu:CsPbBr3

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work reports a differentiated ion‐doping strategy to engineer the self‐trapped exciton emission of CsPbBr3@CsPb2Br5 nanostructures, in which bright orange emission is obtained by the dissolution and recrystallization of Cu:CsPbBr3 in water. Lattice‐incorporated Cu components create self‐trapped exciton centers because of bright green emission ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Indoor thermal comfort in different building blocks

open access: yesA+BE: Architecture and the Built Environment, 2014
This paper discusses the energy and comfort impact of three types of urban block configuration in the Netherlands. The annual heating and lighting energy demand, and summer thermal comfort hours are compared. In total, 102 thermal zones forming single, linear and courtyard building combinations are simulated within the Netherlands’ temperate climate ...
