Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Knocking Off the Street: The Subversive Writings of Hong Kong's Grassroots Kings

City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how two grassroots street artists in Hong Kong, the King of Kowloon (Tsang Tsou‐choi) and the Plumber King (Yim Chiu‐tong), intervene in the city's everyday visual order. Moving beyond celebratory collective memory narratives and easy analogies to graffiti, it frames their works as subversive urban practices that rework ...

IMPACT OF STREETSCAPING ON HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY

International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH, 2018
This research is subjected to the study of the impact of street scape on human psychology. The study mainly focuses on the importance of the design of sidewalks on the street so that it can’t become the space for the criminal activities as described by the journalist jane Jacobs.

Urban greenspace and dementia: Measures, mechanisms, and methodological guidance

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Urban greenspace has been associated with improved cognition and reduced Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD‐related dementias (ADRD) risk, but findings remain mixed, study quality varies, and evidence is largely cross‐sectional. To advance the field, we offer guidance to select and apply greenspace exposure measures in AD/ADRD research.

The Effects of Urbanization on Infrastructure Sustainability and Resilience in Variable Microclimates Within Arid Environments

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Rapid urbanization significantly intensifies land surface temperature (LST), with profound implications for local climate, infrastructure sustainability, and environmental quality. The Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification provides a standardized framework for examining urban thermal dynamics and supporting strategies to mitigate heat ...

Geographies of studentification in mid‐sized Canadian metropolitan areas

Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 3, Autumn / automne 2026.
Abstract Amid Canada's housing crisis, near‐campus neighbourhoods are undergoing “studentification”—the conversion of existing housing into shared student rentals—yet its extent remains unquantified due to the lack of student identifiers in census data. We introduce a novel indirect research method leveraging a Statistics Canada classification anomaly:

Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...
