Designing the Urban Microclimate
This doctoral thesis presents research on the integration and transfer of knowledge from the specialized field of urban microclimatology into the generic field of urban design. Both fields are studied in order to identify crosslinks and reveal gaps. The main research question of the research is: How can the design of urban neighbourhoods contribute to ...

Emergence of Urban Heat Traps from the Intersection of Human Mobility and Heat Hazard Exposure in Cities [PDF]
Understanding the relationship between spatial structures of cities and environmental hazard exposures (such as urban heat) is essential for urban health and sustainability planning. However, a critical knowledge gap exists in terms of the extent to which socio-spatial networks shaped by human mobility exacerbate or alleviate urban heat exposures of ...

Pt/Ce2(WO4)3, synthesized via simple calcination and hydrothermal methods, serves as a promising electrochemical gas sensor for detecting nitrogen dioxide (NO2). This study investigates the structural characteristics of the sensor. The sensor with 0.5 wt.% Pt loading exhibits the optimal sensing performance, demonstrating high sensitivity and ...
