Sky type classification in Harbin during winter

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2020
Sky type classification is a significant element in daylight simulation. As a “winter city”, the daylight climate of Harbin is distinctive, and there is therefore a particular need to determine the most appropriate sky models to establish sky luminance ...

Integrating historic preservation into a wider framework of urban development through comprehensive planning: an evaluation of local comprehensive plans in U.S. state capitals

Heritage Science, 2022
Historic preservation should be integrated into the broader framework of urban development. This makes preservation through local comprehensive planning a good option. However, few local comprehensive plans have demonstrated the content or quality needed

China's Low‐Carbon Energy Transition Over the Past Two Decades: Experiences and Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
China's low‐carbon energy transition features a brief decline and subsequent rebound in coal consumption, alongside the rapid expansion of renewable energy. This study develops a stage‐based analytical framework to explain this evolution from the perspectives of economic development, energy security, and environmental sustainability, revealing how ...

Low Latency Global Carbon Budget Reveals Late 2024 Carbon Losses and Contrasting Early 2025 Land Sink Recovery Signals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Low latency carbon budget estimates for July 2024–June 2025 combine atmospheric CO2 growth rates, fossil emissions, ocean uptake, DGVM land fluxes, and OCO‐2 inversions. The budget shows that late‐2024 land carbon losses dominate the annual anomaly, while early‐2025 recovery differs between bottom‐up models and top‐down inversions, especially in ...

Decoding Viral Transmission Dynamics in Structured Populations Using a Microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip Platform

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip experimentally recreates structured contact networks to quantify viral transmission dynamics. By controlling susceptible, infected, and non‐susceptible populations, the platform reveals how contact topology governs the reproduction number, outbreak propagation, herd‐immunity–like behavior, and intervention ...

The flexible urban grid: adaptation, expansion and evolution in Philadelphia's city block morphology

, 2023
This study examines the evolution of Philadelphia’s city block morphology between 1683, when the city was planned by William Penn, and 1900, when urban expansion abandoned the grid. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative assessment.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Synthesis‐Dependent Grain Boundary Density Governs Low‐Temperature Lithium Diffusion in Single‐Crystal NCM Cathodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The relationship between synthesis‐dependent crystallization behavior, internal grain‐boundary density, and intrinsic lithium diffusion kinetics in single‐crystal mid‐Ni NCM cathodes is elucidated, providing practical design insights for advanced cathode materials.
