Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.

Warm mix asphalt: mechanical performance assessment and coating quality evaluation [PDF]

, 2012
Asphalt mix manufacturing requires heating and the drying of aggregates. The induced energy cost has opened the way to develop alternatives processes with low energy/ carbon materials such as Warm Mix (WMA).

AI‐Driven Circular Construction Waste Management for Advancing Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) represents up to 40% of global solid waste, posing a significant barrier to achieving circular economy (CE) objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. However, construction waste management (CWM) systems remain constrained by fragmented data environments ...

Comparative study of typical asphalt binders in Xinjiang region modified with warm mix additives

Frontiers in Materials
Xinjiang’s representative asphalt binders, such as Karamay and Tahe asphalt, lack sufficient research on warm-mix additive modification effects. Given their unique microstructure and molecular composition differences, comprehensive investigations are ...

Designing warm – mix asphalt with the zeolite addition

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the design of warm-mix asphalt. One way to reduce the temperature of bituminous mix is the use of zeolite. The article shows the lack of differences in designing WMA recipe with zeolite addition compared to the HMA.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Laboratory comparison of aging characteristics of warm mix asphalts involving natural and synthetic water containing additives [PDF]

Materials Research, 2014
When comparing the aging characteristics of hot and warm mix asphalts from a technical point of view, it can intuitively be expected that a warm mix asphalt would be less subjected to aging-induced failures due to lower application temperatures.
