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.

An all‐polymer blend for photovoltaic applications: A combined photoabsorption, photoemission and ab initio multi‐configurational study

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Near‐edge X‐ray absorption fine structure, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and multi‐configuration self‐consistent field results show, respectively, preferential edge‐on and face‐on orientations for the thiophene and naphthalene diimide units of the PBDB‐T‐SF:P(NDI2OD‐T2) all‐polymer blend, and surface accumulation of the acceptor.

A Statistical‐Process Hybridized Approach to Modeling Permafrost Distribution in a Boreal Wetland Ecosystem, Whatì, NT, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

The angular distribution and interception of diffuse solar radiation below overcast skies

The angular distribution of diffuse radiation was measured from May 1976 to May 1977 with a set of purpose-built actinometers. Radiance distributions for 98 overcast hours were fitted well by an expression similar to the conventional function for a ...
