Assessing Environmental and Economic Performance for Port Hydrogen Fuel Transition: A Case Study of Vancouver Fraser Port Authority

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As society continues to develop, hydrogen has emerged as a promising fuel for maritime decarbonization. This study develops an integrated environmental and economic assessment framework for the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) by combining life‐cycle assessment, levelized cost analysis, and multi‐criteria decision analysis across 36 ...

Energy Security and Sustainability in the GCC: The Conditional and Contested Role of AI and Digital Infrastructure

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies pursue simultaneous commitments to national AI strategies, renewable energy targets, and Paris Agreement pledges, a key sustainable‐management question remains empirically unresolved: does digital and AI investment genuinely advance energy security and environmental sustainability in hydrocarbon ...

Numerical Studies on the Influence of Building Morphology on Urban Canopy Wind Speed

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Buildings increase the urban surface roughness and reduce near‐surface wind speeds in the urban canopy due to the drag effect. Urban heat storage and other effects cause urban warming as well, which decreases the urban boundary layer stability and ...

Assessment of Oxidative Stress, Vitellogenin, and Human Health Risks Derived From Nile Tilapia Exposed to Metals and Metalloids in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

Inflammatory Shift in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Amidst Guangzhou's Urbanization (2000–2018)

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) exhibits temporal and geographic diversity in pathological endotypes with progressive eosinophilic infiltration, while the underlying causes remain unclear. Current pathological endotypes determination relies on mean cell count per high‐power field, requiring accuracy optimization.

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Evaluation of albedo enhancement to mitigate impacts of urban heat island in Rome (Italy) using WRF meteorological model

, 2016
Many studies explain impacts of urban heat island (UHI) on energy consumption, air quality, and human health. Since the impact of UHI is detrimental, many researchers have been proposing solutions to weaken the UHI.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Artificial supplementary food influences hedgehog occupancy and activity patterns more than predator presence or natural food availability

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...
