Environment - Urban Interface within Urban Growth

open access: yes, 2004
This work presents the synthesis of a model of urban growth dedicated to  accomplish simulations of urban spatial dynamics, based on integrated urban  and environmental factors and promoting simultaneity among external and  internal growth.

Quantifying Long-Term Urban Grassland Dynamics : Biotic Homogenization and Extinction Debts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Sustainable urban nature conservation calls for a rethinking of conventional approaches. Traditionally, conservationists have not incorporated the history of the landscape in management strategies.

Bionic Solar‐Powered Heavy Metal Trap for Eco‐Friendly Sludge Drying and Simultaneous Electricity Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

Fate of Antibiotic Resistant Pseudomonas putida and Broad Host Range Plasmid in Natural Soil Microcosms

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Plasmid conjugation is one of the dominant mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer, playing a noticeable role in the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

Hydrothermal Embedding of Pd Single Atoms Into SnO2 for Efficient CO Oxidation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By applying hydrothermal regulation to SnO2‐supported PdO, we achieve atomic dispersion of Pd into the SnO2 lattice, which activates the lattice oxygen neighboring Pd atoms to generate oxygen vacancies and facilitates subsequent O2 activation, thereby promoting CO oxidation to proceed via a low‐energy‐barrier MvK pathway while avoiding CO poisoning ...

Air quality and MOLAND : description of a methodology to determine emissions output and affected populations

open access: yes, 2008
In recent years, awareness of air quality issues in urban areas has increased significantly. The negative consequences for human health as a result of poor air quality have resulted in numerous laws being enacted both in Ireland and around the world ...

Metasurface‐Enabled Active‐Like Passive Radar

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A programmable space‐time‐coding metasurface embeds distinct spatiotemporal tags into ambient wireless signals, allowing passive radar to operate in an active‐like manner. By enabling code‐correlated reconstruction under interference, the approach supports robust real‐time UAV tracking in complex environments and points to intelligent, low‐power ...

[Assessment of urban location factors from remote sensing]

open access: yes, 2006
Highly-dynamic, explosively and unmanageably growing megacities arise throughout the world. This rapid alteration within the urban environment often results in a lack of reasonable information for city planning, risk management or site selection.
