Evaluating the local climate zone classification in high-density heterogeneous urban environment using mobile measurement [PDF]

, 2018
Urban heat island (UHI) has been identified as a threat to urban living quality in the context of climate change. As awareness of the impacts of urban expansion on local climate increases, urban planners/decision makers attempt to incorporate climatic ...

The suitability of the urban local climate zone classification scheme for surface temperature studies in distinct macroclimate regions

, 2021
The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification scheme, initially designed to distinguish between standard built (urban) and non-built (land cover) types in terms of screen-level air temperature relevant for urban heat island (UHI) studies, has been widely ...

Enhancing Small Molecule Sensing With Aptameric Functionalized Nano Devices

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Unveiling an ultra‐sensitive, non‐invasive neurotransmitter sensor. For the first time, a nanoscale sensor for detecting an important neurotransmitter was demonstrated using micro‐electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Our approach utilized field‐effect transistor (FET)‐based readout to enable pico‐molar detection of biomarkers in sweat.

EFFECT OF THE TRAINING SET CONFIGURATION ON SENTINEL-2-BASED URBAN LOCAL CLIMATE ZONE CLASSIFICATION [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
As any supervised classification procedure, also Local Climate Zone (LCZ) mapping requires reliable reference data. These are usually created manually and inevitably include label noise, caused by the complexity of the LCZ class scheme as well as ...

Indigenous Peoples and local communities report ongoing and widespread climate change impacts on local social-ecological systems

Communications Earth & Environment
The effects of climate change depend on specific local circumstances, posing a challenge for worldwide research to comprehensively encompass the diverse impacts on various local social-ecological systems. Here we use a place-specific but cross-culturally

Electroacupuncture Improves the Learning and Memory by Modulating Hippocampal Glucose Metabolism through IGF1/IGF1R Signaling in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electroacupuncture (EA) ameliorates learning and memory function in 5×FAD mice by regulating the brain glucose metabolic network. This neuroprotective effect is closely related to enhancing neuronal energy utilization via the IGF1/IGF1R signaling pathway.

Multidecadal (1960–2011) shoreline changes in Isbjørnhamna (Hornsund, Svalbard) [PDF]

, 2015
A section of a gravel-dominated coast in Isbjørnhamna (Hornsund, Svalbard) was analysed to calculate the rate of shoreline changes and explain processes controlling coastal zone development over last 50 years.
