THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

THE URBAN METABOLISM OF FLOOD PROTECTION INFRASTRUCTURE IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Investments in large‐scale climate infrastructures are central to emerging forms of climate urbanism. In Jakarta, flood protection infrastructures seek to protect the city from devastating flood events in anticipation of future catastrophes.

Locating nests of endangered bumble bees: Lessons from field trials in northern Germany
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Tracking bumble bees to find their nests using coloured strips of paper stuck to their thorax proved to be the most suitable method, while radio transponders were too heavy. Tracking times of up to 2 h and distances of up to 800 m were achieved with strips of pink craft tissue paper.

A hybrid stabilization technique for simulating water wave - Structure interaction by incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) method [PDF]
, 2018 The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is emerging as a potential tool for studying water wave related problems, especially for violent free surface flow and large deformation problems. The incompressible SPH (ISPH) computations have been found

Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.
