Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Assessment and Mitigation Strategies to Counteract Overheating in Urban Historical Areas in Rome [PDF]

open access: yesClimate, 2018
As urban overheating is increasing, there is a strong public interest towards mitigation strategies to enhance comfortable urban spaces, for their role in supporting urban metabolism and social life. The study presents an assessment of the existing thermal comfort and usage of San Silvestro Square in Rome during the summer, and performs the simulation ...

Knowledge gaps and research directions in migration ecology for advancing the conservation of migratory songbirds

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...

Residential overheating risk in an urban climate

open access: yes, 2015
Abstract: A warming climate, increasing frequency and severity of extreme heat events, and the heat island effect, are cumulatively expected to exacerbate environmental thermal loading on urban buildings. This in turn could lead to increased summertime overheating, with potential for causing adverse effects to the health and wellbeing of building ...

The Feasibility Test of Electric Propulsion Systems: Case Study for a Light and Fixed‐Wing Aircraft

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the feasibility and performance of a fully electric propulsion system (EPS) integrated into a light fixed‐wing aircraft. The system consists of a 65 kW‐class electric motor, a high‐efficiency inverter, and dual lithium‐ion battery packs with a total capacity of 27 kWh—collectively engineered to fulfill both power ...

A Comprehensive Review of Fault‐Current Limiter Technologies for Smart and Resilient Power Systems

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This review compares superconducting, solid‐state, and hybrid fault‐current limiters (FCLs) for modern alternating current, direct current, and hybrid grids. It shows that optimal FCL selection depends on fault characteristics, network configuration, voltage level, protection coordination, and resilience requirements rather than on a universally ...

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and
