Study on cohesion and adhesion of high-viscosity modified asphalt

International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2019
High-viscosity modified asphalt (T-HVA) specifically used for drainage/permeable asphalt pavement was prepared by composite modification of matrix asphalt using a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and SBS particles.

Effect of an Organic Rectorite on the Properties of a Waste Engine Oil-Modified Asphalt

Applied Sciences, 2023
Using waste engine oil (WEO) to partially replace petroleum-based asphalt binders offers a promising solution to mitigate the environmental impact of waste WEO while reducing the dependence on non-renewable asphalt resources. To enhance the comprehensive

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Outracing a National Level Model Racing Car Champion: A Hybrid Model‐Based Data‐Driven Approach

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper discusses lap time optimization, focusing on a single lap without considering opponents in autonomous racing. The paper presents a control and optimization architecture composed of a model‐based low level controller and a higher level iterative learning algorithm with the goal of obtaining the fastest qualifying lap in autonomous ...

Beyond Efficiency: Sufficiency Strategies for Sustainable Development in the Housing and Building Sectors

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the housing and building sectors face the urgent challenge of decarbonization, attention is increasingly shifting beyond conventional efficiency strategies toward the principle of sufficiency. This study explores how sufficiency can reshape the housing landscape, although there is no standardized understanding of sufficiency in these ...

Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...
