High‐Performance Low‐Emissivity Paints Enabled by N‐Doped Poly(benzodifurandione) (n‐PBDF) for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 6, 19 January 2026.
This study introduces a scalable and colored low‐emissivity (low‐e) paint achieved by spraying an ultrathin n‐doped poly(benzodifurandione) (n‐PBDF) coating onto various colored substrates. The low‐e paint enhances thermal regulation by reducing mid‐infrared thermal emissivity to 0.19, thereby stabilizing indoor temperatures across diverse climates ...

Development and evaluation of the RapidAir® dispersion model, including the use of geospatial surrogates to represent street canyon effects [PDF]

, 2018
We developed a dispersion model (RapidAir®) to estimate air pollution concentrations at fine spatial resolution over large geographical areas with fast run times. Concentrations were modelled at 5 m spatial resolution over an area of ∼3500 km2 in

Digital Spatial Technologies to Compose the Map of the Southeast Iberia Megalithic Phenomenon. The Case Study of Fonelas (Granada, Spain)

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 257-273, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Megalithic landscapes in Southeast Iberia remain unevenly and insufficiently documented, particularly in rugged areas where traditional survey methods are limited. This paper addresses this gap by applying a multiscalar approach to the megalithic necropolises of the Fardes River (Granada, Spain), with the objective of detecting, documenting ...

CFD Analysis of Hybrid Ionanofluid Flow in a Parabolic Trough Solar Collector With Helically Finned Absorber Pipe

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The increasing global demand for sustainable energy emphasizes the need for improved solar thermal technologies. Parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSCs) in concentrating solar power systems face limited thermal efficiency due to suboptimal heat transfer fluids (HTFs) and outdated absorber designs.

Standardizing Visualization in Ancient Maya Lidar Research: Techniques, Challenges and Recommendations

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 967-988, October/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Airborne laser scanning (ALS, lidar) has become a key method for studying ancient Maya landscapes, offering unprecedented visibility of anthropogenic terrain modifications in densely forested environments. Despite this progress, the visualization of elevation data remains understandardized, with many researchers relying on ad hoc or ...
