A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Prediction of acute mountain sickness occurring at 4554 m using overnight pulse oximetry from lower altitude: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute mountain sickness (AMS) affects many individuals ascending to high altitude annually, carrying potential morbidity and mortality risks (e.g., high‐altitude cerebral oedema). The objective of this pilot study was to record overnight pulse oximetry during ascent to 4554 m and determine whether: (1) extracted overnight biomarkers had any ...

Ultrathin Amphipathic Dual‐Polymer Networks: Unlocking Hyper‐Permeable CO2 Capture via Solvent‐Mediated Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Amorphization

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 84, 19 October 2026.
Hydrophilic PEO‐copolymers and hydrophobic PDMS are physically integrated via a compatibilizing solvent into an amphipathic dual‐polymer network with versatile interfacial affinity and completely amorphized PEO segments for hyper‐permeable CO2 transport.

Enhanced Spin‐Reorientation Transition and Polarization in DyFeO3 Thin Films

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 20, 26 October 2026.
Epitaxial strain in antiferromagnetic orthoferrite thin films enhances known bulk properties into a parameter range that makes them more accessible for potential applications. We show that bulk polar properties move from 4 K towards room temperature and the magnetic field‐induced AFM to FM spin‐flip in the paramagnetic Dy lattice when applying small ...

Crowdsourcing Urban Air Temperature Data for Estimating Urban Heat Island and Building Heating/Cooling Load in London

Energies, 2021
Urban heat island (UHI) effects significantly impact building energy. Traditional UHI investigation methods are often incapable of providing the high spatial density of observations required to distinguish small-scale temperature differences in the UHI ...

Seasonal Cooling Effect of Vegetation and Albedo Applied to the LCZ Classification of Three Chinese Megacities

Remote Sensing, 2023
The urban heat island effect poses a growing threat to human society, especially in densely populated and developed megacities. With the introduction of the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) framework, new perspectives and findings have been brought to urban heat island studies. This study investigated the cooling effect of vegetation and albedo on the surface

Modeling of Daytime and Nighttime Surface Urban Heat Island Distribution Combined with LCZ in Beijing, China

, 2022
Along with urbanization, surface urban heat island (SUHI) has attracted more attention. Due to the lack of perspective of spatial heterogeneity in relevant studies, it is difficult to propose specific strategies to alleviate the SUHI.
