Classification, Mitigations and Methods to Detect UHI: A Review

INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, 2023
Because of urbanisation, surfaces of buildings and pavements have increasingly displaced green areas in urban areas. Because of this, solar energy is absorbed by roads, buildings, & rooftops, increasing the surface temperature over that of the surrounding air. This is known as an "Urban Heat Island" (UHI).

Classical affine W-superalgebras via generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reductions and related integrable systems

, 2017
The purpose of this article is to investigate relations between W-superalgebras and integrable super-Hamiltonian systems. To this end, we introduce the generalized Drinfel'd-Sokolov (D-S) reduction associated to a Lie superalgebra $g$ and its even ...

Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head in an 8-Year Old Boy: Appraisal of Evolution by DXA

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2015
Assessment of skeletal status and bone mineral density (BMD) in the pediatric population requires knowledge of the child’s overall health, clinical history of chronic illness and/or risk factors for osteoporosis, and atraumatic fractures.

Impacts, strategies and tools to mitigate UHI

Architecture and the Built Environment, 2018
The impacts of climate changes to cities, which are home to over half of the world´s population, are already being felt. In many cases, the intensive speed with which urban centres have been growing means that little attention has been paid to the role played by climatic factors in maintaining the quality of life.

Influence of Meteorological Parameters on the Urban Heat Island in Moscow

Atmosphere, 2023
The urban heat island (UHI) intensity in Moscow and the influence of various meteorological parameters are discussed using weather station data. The maximal and average in-space UHI intensities, i.e., a comparison of air temperature T either in the city ...

A New Hybrid Approach Applying Feature Engineering to Model High Resolution Air Temperature Across Israel

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
A hybrid modelling framework that applies feature engineering using the KNN model to estimate high‐resolution air temperature across Israel by integrating meteorological and environmental predictors. ABSTRACT The increasing global planetary temperature, combined with rapid urbanisation, underscores the urgent need to evaluate human exposure to air ...

Primary surgical repair of tetralogy of fallot at the Uganda Heart Institute: a ten-year review of 30day mortality and morbidity

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) worldwide. It accounts for 7% of CHD cases in Uganda and leads to fatal outcomes in the long term without surgery.
