Unidirectional Moisture Delivery via a Janus Photothermal Interface for Indoor Dehumidification: A Smart Roof

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 20, July 18, 2023., 2023
Through the integration of the unidirectional liquid penetration of Janus interface and the interfacial solar evaporation, here a Janus solar dehumidifying interface is presented. The complex structure enables a switchable function between sunny and rainy days, which can be utilized as a smart roof for moisture management.

Testing the susceptibility of larval stages of Simulium to temephos and Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis in Germany and Northern Cameroon

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 286-299, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Assays to evaluate the susceptibility of Simulium larvae to temephos and Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis (Bti) were carried out by setting‐up an in vitro laboratory test (‘bio assay’) and a semi‐natural test (‘système de goutières’) to assess the LC50/LC90 values. Larvae of Simulium species in Cameroon (S. damnosum s.l., S. hargreavesi,

Regulation and impact of VOC and CO2 emissions on low‐carbon energy systems resilient to climate change: A case study on an environmental issue in the oil and gas industry

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1516-1535, April 2023., 2023
The consequences of contamination of territories with hydrocarbons as a result of accidents are limited not only to polluted areas of the seas and land, since some hydrocarbons, such as oil, according to their chemical composition, they are classified as volatile organic substances.

An assessment of technological development and applications of decentralized water reuse: A critical review and conceptual framework

open access: yesWIREs Water, Volume 9, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022
Decentralized rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling systems are expected to play an important role to reduce the dependence on the centralized urban water supply and contribute to water supply for urban farming and even informal settlements. Conceptual framework is suggested for water reuse decision making.

Living with flux in the Philippines: Negotiating collective well‐being and disaster recovery

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 126-137, April 2022., 2022
Anthropogenic climate change poses huge challenges to humanity. The frequency and magnitude of extreme weather is increasing. As more attention turns to disaster preparedness and recovery, it is worth recognising that many communities have a long history of living with the flux of planetary dynamism.

Breeding Habitat Distribution of Medically Important Mosquitoes in Kurunegala, Gampaha, Kegalle, and Kandy Districts of Sri Lanka and Potential Risk for Disease Transmission: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Some arbovirus infections, especially dengue, have increased rapidly over the last few decades in Sri Lanka. Prevalence and distribution of different mosquito species have been limitedly documented, which remains grossly inadequate in providing evidence for potential health risks.

Slum Evictions through the Lens of Labour: Capture, Value Generation, and Belonging in the Indian City

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Following the lead of labour movements, this article frames slums as labour geographies whose evictions constitute the devaluation of labour in spatial terms. This devaluation occurs in two modes: in the first, through the rendering of workers as “encroachers” or “the urban poor” in policy documents and public discourse, thereby unmooring ...

Water Parameters and Hydrodynamics in Rivers and Caves Hosting Astyanax mexicanus Populations Reveal Macro‐, Meso‐ and Microhabitat Characteristics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
From 2009 to 2025, we have recorded the physicochemical parameters of the water and the hydrological regimes at localities hosting Astyanax mexicanus cavefish and surface fish populations in Mexico. Sampling 13 caves and 30 surface stations revealed strong signatures of the two macrohabitats, but also significant differences in specific water ...

Decommissioning of a Nuclear Facility With Sodium‐Cooled Fast Reactor as a Final Stage of Its Life Cycle: Overview of Current Projects

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The nuclear power industry preferably aims to a closed nuclear fuel cycle and a transition to a two‐component structure based on the joint operation of thermal and fast neutron reactors. This approach makes it possible to significantly reduce the volume of radioactive waste and increase the efficiency of using uranium fuel. Sodium fast neutron reactors

Level of Awareness of Dengue Disease among School Children in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka, and Effect of School‐Based Health Education Programmes on Improving Knowledge and Practices

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Introduction. Limited awareness and nonsystematized health education programmes have contributed adversely to the increase in dengue incidence at schools due to limited attention which has positively contributed to the increase in vector receptivity. The current study was conducted to evaluate the existing level of awareness of dengue infection among a
