Compatibility of local climate zone parameters for climate sensitive street design: Influence of openness and surface properties on local climate

Urban Climate, 2020
Streets are the fundamental elements of urban form in terms of microclimate as well as place making in cities. Microclimate itself is influenced by climate critical parameters of the Local Climate Zone Classification (LCZ) system. Therefore, a key design question is the role, if any, of LCZ classification for climate guidelines at street scale. In this

A Topological Data Analysis approach for retrieving Local Climate Zones patterns in satellite data

Environmental Challenges, 2021
In the context of geospatial studies, meaningful information may be hidden in the aspects of form and connectivity inscribed in the measurements. Therefore, here is proposed the use of H0 Persistent Homology (PH), a Topological Data Analysis tool to ...

Local Climate Zones for Urban Temperature Studies

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2012
The effect of urban development on local thermal climate is widely documented in scientific literature. Observations of urban–rural air temperature differences—or urban heat islands (UHIs)—have been reported for cities and regions worldwide, often with local field sites that are extremely diverse in their physical and climatological characteristics ...

Quantifying Local and Mesoscale Drivers of the Urban Heat Island of Moscow with Reference and Crowdsourced Observations

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Urban climate features, such as the urban heat island (UHI), are determined by various factors characterizing the modifications of the surface by the built environment and human activity.

Mapping Local Climate Zones for a Worldwide Database of the Form and Function of Cities [PDF]

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2015
Progress in urban climate science is severely restricted by the lack of useful information that describes aspects of the form and function of cities at a detailed spatial resolution. To overcome this shortcoming we are initiating an international effort to develop the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) to gather and disseminate this ...

Performance Evaluation of Built Environment in Local Climate Zones

E3S Web of Conferences, 2022
The thermal performance of a building is significantly influenced by the climate around it. It is observed that the microclimate of an urban area is notably different from that of the surrounding regions. This difference is mainly due to the variations in anthropogenic heat, built morphology and surface characteristics.

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

Relationship Between Neurologic Symptoms and Signs and FMR1 Genotype in Premutation Carriers

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Fragile X‐associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) is the most severe late‐onset condition caused by a premutation in the FMR1 gene, characterized by expanded CGG triplet repeats of 55–200. Clinical presentations of FXTAS, including gait ataxia, kinetic tremor, cognitive decline, and rare Parkinsonism, are linked to ...

Influence of Test Temperature and Test Frequency on Fatigue Life of Aluminum Alloy EN AW‐2618A

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of test temperature and test frequency on the fatigue life of EN AW‐2618A is investigated. High‐cycle fatigue tests are performed at different test temperatures and frequencies on the 1000 h/230°C overaged state. Both test parameters reduce fatigue life due to time‐dependent damage mechanisms.
