Study of mist-cooling for semi-enclosed spaces in Osaka, Japan
Abstract Evaporative mist cooling systems are increasingly used in Japan to cool urban spaces as a counter to the urban heat island problem. Japan has a humid climate, which reduces evaporation. The balance between cooling and undesirable wetting...

Application of geographically weighted regression for modelling the spatial structure of urban heat island in the city of Wroclaw (SW Poland)
Abstract Geographically weighted regression (GWR) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) models have been applied to derive the spatial structure of urban heat island (UHI) in Wrocław, SW Poland and compared. It was found that GWR is better suited for ...

A branching, positive relief network in the middle member of the Medusae Fossae Formation, equatorial Mars—Evidence for sapping?
Abstract The Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) is a geological formation comprising three geological units (members) spread across five principal lobes. It dominates a quarter of the longitudinal extent of the equatorial region of Mars. Positive relief ...
