Spatiotemporal trends of urban-induced land use and land cover change and implications on catchment surface imperviousness

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2023
Urbanization, changes in land use and land cover (LULC), and an increase in population collectively have significant impacts on urban catchments. However, a vast majority of LULC studies have been conducted using readily available satellite imagery ...

Position-dependent hearing in three species of bushcrickets (Tettigoniidae, Orthoptera) [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
A primary task of auditory systems is the localization of sound sources in space. Sound source localization in azimuth is usually based on temporal or intensity differences of sounds between the bilaterally arranged ears.

Performance Evaluation of a CO2 Refrigeration System Enhanced with a Dew Point Cooler

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Dew point cooling (DPC) is a novel indirect evaporative cooling concept capable of delivering air temperatures approaching the dew point. Coupling this technology with CO2 refrigeration is well suited to minimising transcritical operation when the ...

Contralateral Deafferentation Does Not Affect Regeneration Processes in the Auditory System of (Orthoptera)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2011
The auditory system of locusts has high regeneration capacity following injury of the peripheral afferents. Regenerating auditory afferents can re-innervate their target areas even after changed neuronal pathways.

Exploring Conventional Economic Viability as a Potential Barrier to Scalable Urban Agriculture: Examples from Two Divergent Development Contexts

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2022
Urban Agriculture (UA) is the widespread practice of food production within available city space using non-commercial, commercial and hybrid production technologies. The economic viability of UA remains a concern among UA practitioners. To investigate UA’
