Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018 City parks, built during the Soviet period, do not meet the requirements. Parks form the culture of the city and affect the physical and spiritual health of a person. Designing parks that meet the requirements is an important task, the solution of which involves a number of functional and town-planning tasks.

People's perceptions and classifications of sounds heard in urban parks : semantics, affect and restoration [PDF]
, 2007 Sounds have been broadly categorized by researchers into ‘human’, ‘nature’ and ‘mechanical’. It is less clear if the general public define and classify sounds in the same way and which factors influence their classification process. Establishing people’

Urban park characteristics, genetic variation, and historical demography of white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) populations in New York City [PDF]
, 2014 Severe fragmentation is a typical fate of native remnant habitats in cities, and urban wildlife with limited dispersal ability are predicted to lose genetic variation in isolated urban patches. However, little information exists on the characteristics of
