Integrating Remote Sensing and Social Science - The correlation of urban morphology with socioeconomic parameters [PDF]

, 2009
The alignment, small-scale transitions and characteristics of buildings, streets and open spaces constitute a heterogeneous urban morphology. The urban morphology is the physical reflection of a society that created it, influenced by historical, social ...

Dysfunctional TRIM31 of POMC Neurons Provokes Hypothalamic Injury and Peripheral Metabolic Disorder under Long‐Term Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) elevates risks of neurological and chronic metabolic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms linking PM2.5‐induced central nervous system (CNS) injury to metabolic dysfunction remain unclear. Hypothalamic pro‐opiomelanocortin‐expressing (POMC+) neurons regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis, and tripartite motif ...

A Degradable Bioinspired Flier with Aerogel‐Based Colorimetric Sensors for Environmental Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biodegradable fliers are developed inspired by Tipuana tipu samaras, integrating cellulose nanocrystal aerogel (CNCa) sensors loaded with natural dyes for pH and ammonia detection. The lightweight, degradable fliers mimic natural morphology and aerodynamics, offering an eco‐friendly, scalable solution for in situ environmental monitoring after passive ...

Assessment of Digital Co-Creation for Public Open Spaces: Methodological Guidelines

Informatics, 2019
The accessibility and quality of public open spaces (e.g., parks, gardens, squares and plazas) are critical for cultural identity development as they provide important gathering points in the urban fabric and offer a place for social activities, enabling

The impact of urban geometry on the radiant environment in outdoor spaces [PDF]

, 2015
Urban geometry, namely the quantitative relationship of building volumes and open spaces (i.e. built density) and their spatial configuration (i.e. urban layout), is a major modifier of urban microclimate.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

A Quiet Area Accessibility Metric for the Southampton Urban Agglomeration [PDF]

This study proposes a new metric that characterises accessibility to “quiet areas”, as defined by the Environmental Noise Directive (END), in urban agglomerations by using Geographical Information System software in conjunction with END noise mapping ...

Thermo‐Responsive Self‐Recoverable Porous Sensors with Writable Electrodes: Advancing Wearable Motion Detection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐recoverable flexible porous sensor with diverse designability of electrodes is developed through writable vapor phase polymerization using shape memory polymers (SMPs) as the fundamental materials. The sensors enable long‐term comprehensive human motion detection.
