Abstract:
... Greenery infrastructure (GI) is an important design strategy for sustainable cities and communities' development, as it brings multiple benefits including mitigating urban heat island. Based on the implementation locations, three typical GI typologies, namely green roof, green wall, and ground tree, are widely adopted in urban communities. As previous studies focused on one single GI and mainly st ...

Abstract:
... The ascendancy of flax fibre strongly depends on the duration and process of its retting. In sub-tropical areas, warm and dry season quickly following the cold flax growing season does not allow dew retting of flax. Hence, development of suitable retting technology is utmost need under such climate. Therefore, an experiment was designed with seven tank-retting durational treatments [0 day (unrette ...

Abstract:
... Many studies have suggested that the climate diversified in China during the Miocene, with the emergence of an arid region in north-western China, as the Asian Monsoon intensified with the rapid uplift of the Tibetan Plateau in the late Miocene. However, this opinion is not upheld by all geoscientists. Here Miocene fossil plant assemblages from 75 broadly scattered sites across China were investig ...

Abstract:
... In Argentina, the mosquito Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) is distributed from subtropical to temperate climates. Here, we hypothesized that the expansion of Ae. aegypti into colder regions is favoured by high-phenotypic plasticity and an adaptive inhibition of egg hatching at low temperatures. Thus, we investigated the hatching response of eggs of three populations: one from a subtropical ...
