Density and Disasters: Economics of Urban Hazard Risk [PDF]
The World Bank Research Observer, 2011 Today, 370 million people live in cities in earthquake prone areas and 310 million in cities with a high probability of tropical cyclones. By 2050 these numbers are likely to more than double, leading to a greater concentration of hazard risk in many of the world's cities.

Advancing Energy Efficiency in Smart Windows via Dual‐Responsive Electro‐Thermochromism
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A durable and stable quasi‐solid‐state electro‐thermal dual‐responsive photothermal regulation device has been employed in advanced energy‐efficient smart windows. The devised device not only incorporates a thermochromic hydrogel characterized by high ionic conductivity, high optical transmittance, and a low LCST, but also comprises an electrochromic ...

The prospects for urban densification: a place-based study
Environmental Research Letters, 2013 Study of the environmental outcomes of urban densification is a highly context-dependent task. Our study shows that collecting and processing place-based survey data by means of the softGIS method is clearly helpful here.

Dual‐line Genome‐scale CRISPR Screening Enables Robust Target Gene Discovery
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A species‐optimized CRISPR platform integrates efficient piggyBac delivery, genome‐scale sgRNA libraries, and parallel screening in two independently engineered Bactrocera dorsalis Cas9 cell lines. Cross‐line consensus analysis filters line‐specific effects, enriches candidates with reproducible in vivo phenotypes, and reveals conserved, species ...

China's Low‐Carbon Energy Transition Over the Past Two Decades: Experiences and Implications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.China's low‐carbon energy transition features a brief decline and subsequent rebound in coal consumption, alongside the rapid expansion of renewable energy. This study develops a stage‐based analytical framework to explain this evolution from the perspectives of economic development, energy security, and environmental sustainability, revealing how ...

The determinants of urban density: the Israeli case [PDF]
In the struggle against urban sprawl minimum requirements for urban density has become one of the promising tools in determining spatial planning policy, particularly in densely populated countries. This tool was first proposed in the Israel Master Plan '

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Low latency carbon budget estimates for July 2024–June 2025 combine atmospheric CO2 growth rates, fossil emissions, ocean uptake, DGVM land fluxes, and OCO‐2 inversions. The budget shows that late‐2024 land carbon losses dominate the annual anomaly, while early‐2025 recovery differs between bottom‐up models and top‐down inversions, especially in ...

Shoreline Medium Density Village: Addressing the ‘missing middle’ of urban housing in Perth
, 2017 The research question guiding this research project is ‘how can coordinated medium density level housing typologies be developed in Perth, to address the “missing middle” in current densification efforts?’ In order to answer this question LandCorp, the ...
