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.

Liquid PV Module Encapsulation to Enable Circular Design
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.This study demonstrates a novel liquid encapsulation technology to enable circularity in c‐Si photovoltaic modules. The optical properties and power conversion efficiency of liquid encapsulation is similar to EVA encapsulation and better than air encapsulation.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Using hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting simulations, we examine how urban blue spaces mitigate extreme summer heat in northwestern European cities through neighbourhood‐scale cooling mechanisms. Results show horizontal advection dominates cooling by mixing cooler air from waterbodies with warmer urban air, providing ∼50W·m−2$$ \sim 50\kern0 ...

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...
