The effect of regional, urban and future climate on indoor overheating – A simplified approach based on measured weather data, statistical evaluation, and urban climate effects for building performance simulations

City and Environment Interactions
As summer heat events cause a further increase of heat load in buildings, the need for indoor overheating assessment by building performance simulations (BPS) for planning is rising. Besides other boundary conditions, the selection of proper weather data

Thermal Analysis of Cells Behavior in Modular Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery System in Urban Electric Bus Fleet

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Real‐world analysis of lithium iron phosphate battery systems in electric buses shows minimal short‐term temperature impact on energy but significant long‐term degradation at higher temperatures. Efficient cooling and thermal uniformity are critical to prevent accelerated aging, maintain performance, and ensure safety under dynamic operating conditions.

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...
