Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Simulating urban encroachment upon Natura2000 sites using the MOLAND model : supporting appropriate assessment

, 2009
The urban fabric of the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) has expanded rapidly over the past 20 years. This has lead to a decrease in environmental quality throughout the region and disturbance of protected areas.

Sustainable Urban Living Environment Through Prefabricated Buildings

, 2023
The endless destruction of the natural environment and man's unbridled demand for natural resources has led to the spread of a series of environmental problems such as global warming, air pollution and land desertification.

Long‐Term Ambient Benzene Exposure and Brain Disorders Among Urban Adults: Effect Modification by Genetic Susceptibility and Potential Mediation by Plasma Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Low‐level ambient benzene exposure is associated with increased risks of multiple brain disorders in urban adults. Genetic susceptibility modifies these associations, while plasma proteomics points to potential biological pathways linking benzene exposure to adverse brain health.

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.

Urban logistics & environment

, 2018
Η βιωσιμότητα της αστικής εφοδιαστικής είναι ένα σημαντικό ζήτημα για τις ταχέως αναπτυσσόμενες πόλεις σε όλο τον κόσμο. Παρόλο που πολλές πόλεις έχουν αναπτύξει στρατηγικές για την αποτελεσματικότερη και ασφαλέστερη μετακίνηση των ανθρώπων στο αστικό περιβάλλον, έχει δοθεί πολύ λιγότερη προσοχή στη σημασία της παράδοσης αγαθών στους ανθρώπους στην ...

Population and single cell metabolic activity of UV-induced VBNC bacteria determined by CTC-FCM and D2O-labeled Raman spectroscopy

Environment International, 2019
The occurrence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria will result in significant underestimation of viable bacterial counts in drinking water. Whereas, much is unknown in characterizing their viability.

Regional planning guideline review : using MOLAND as part of the strategic environmental assessment process

, 2009
The urban fabric of the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) has expanded rapidly over the past 20 years. In an effort to coordinate development across the region the “Strategic Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area” were introduced in 1999.
