The Effect of Sky View Factor on Air temperature in High-rise Urban Residential Environments
Urban geometry is defined by the height, length, width, and distance of buildings, which affect the urban environment and its microclimate, especially a high-rise and high-density urban environment, such as Tehran.

Surface temperatures in New York City: Geospatial data enables the accurate prediction of radiative heat transfer [PDF]
Three decades into the research seeking to derive the urban energy budget, the dynamics of the thermal exchange between the densely built infrastructure and the environment are still not well understood.

The Effect of Neighboring Objects on Non-Rainfall Water
With non-rainfall water (NRW), principally dew and fog, serving as an important water source, especially in arid and semiarid regions, factors that may increase the NRW yield may have important hydrological and ecological consequences. On the other hand,

An Assessment of the Impact of Overdevelopment RightsSales on the Skyline of Khoy City Using Sky View Factor (SVF) Analysis [PDF]
With the country'saccelerating urbanisation, we are witnessing expansions and increasing new constructions in Iranian cities. One of the challenges raised in today's cities is the inability of their managers to control height and spatial balance, with ...

The Quasar Mass-Luminosity Plane III: Smaller Errors on Virial Mass Estimates [PDF]
We use 62185 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR5 sample to explore the quasar mass-luminosity plane view of virial mass estimation. Previous work shows deviations of ~0.4 dex between virial and reverberation masses. The decline in quasar

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...
