Green walls and health: An umbrella review

Nature-Based Solutions, 2023
Current societal challenges like climate change led to a general agreement that our cities need to become greener and our lifestyles more sustainable. This transformation of our daily living environments can also impact the prevalence of non-communicable

Polyradical character and spin frustration in fullerene molecules: An ab initio non-collinear Hartree--Fock study

, 2014
Most {\em ab initio} calculations on fullerene molecules have been carried out based on the paradigm of the H\"uckel model. This is consistent with the restricted nature of the independent-particle model underlying such calculations, even in single ...

Magnetically Controlled Exchange Process in an Ultracold Atom-Dimer Mixture [PDF]

, 2009
We report on the observation of an elementary exchange process in an optically trapped ultracold sample of atoms and Feshbach molecules. We can magnetically control the energetic nature of the process and tune it from endoergic to exoergic, enabling the ...

Using standards for coastal nature-based solutions in climate commitments: Applying the IUCN Global Standard to the case of Pacific Small Island Developing States

Nature-Based Solutions, 2023
Coastal nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognized for their multiple benefits to socio-ecological systems, including climate mitigation and adaptation (e.g.

Point Charge Self-Energy in the General Relativity

, 2004
Singularities in the metric of the classical solutions to the Einstein equations (Schwarzschild, Kerr, Reissner -- Nordstr\"om and Kerr -- Newman solutions) lead to appearance of generalized functions in the Einstein tensor that are not usually taken ...

Design of a serious game for participatory planning of nature-based solutions: The experience of the Edible City Game

Nature-Based Solutions, 2023
Serious games have been proposed by several studies as a tool to foster civic participatory processes. However, such an endeavour is often prone to failure due to lack of funding or lack of skills on designing serious games.

Evolution of linear perturbations through a bouncing world model: Is the near Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum possible via a bounce? [PDF]

, 2007
We present a detailed numerical study of the evolutions of cosmological linear perturbations through a simple bouncing world model based on two scalar fields.

Governance lessons from Australian local governments for retaining and protecting urban forests as nature based solutions

Nature-Based Solutions, 2021
Urban forest strategies aimed at the retention and protection of existing urban trees are an expression of nature-based solutions (NbS), understood broadly as actions that can address environmental, ecological, and societal challenges.
