Abstract Building stock growth around the world drives extensive material consumption and environmental impacts. Future impacts will be dependent on level rate of socioeconomic development, along with use supply strategies. Here we evaluate material-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for residential commercial buildings their reduction potentials in 26 global regions by 2060. For a middle-of-the-road baseline scenario, building see an increase 3.5 to 4.6 Gt CO2eq yr-1 between 2020–2060....
Abstract The Third Pole experiences accelerated glacier retreating particularly in the eastern‐Himalaya, coinciding with a decrease of monsoon‐precipitation early 21st century. extent to which vanishing abundant maritime glaciers buffer declining precipitation‐runoff remains unclear. Here, state‐of‐the‐art enthalpy‐based distributed cryosphere‐hydrology model and first‐hand hydrometeorology observations at Motuo (latest accessible Chinese county), we carefully examine Yarlung Zangbo basin...
The Raspberry Pi is being increasingly adopted as a suitable platform in both research and applications of the Internet Things (IoT). This study presents novel project-based teaching learning approach devised an course for undergraduate students computer science major, where used effective vehicle to greatly enhance students’ performance experience. begins with simple hardware moves building whole prototype system. paper illustrates outcome proposed by demonstrating IoT systems designed...
Building energy and construction demolition waste (CDW) are highly relevant but intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral circular built environment. Ongoing renovation uses an increasing number of emerging materials that pose challenge recycling. As response, novel technological system has been proposed to recycle CDW (including insulation mineral wool lightweight concrete) manufacture prefabricated concrete elements (PCEs) use as façades new (PCE-new) retrofitting...
Abstract: Outdoor wireless sensor networks (WSNs) operate autonomously in dynamic and unattended real-world environments, where nodes are typically powered by their batteries. In hash outdoor settings, such as mountainous regions or underwater locations, recharging replacing node batteries is particularly challenging. For these WSN deployments, ensuring quality of service (QoS) control while conserving energy crucial. This paper presents a novel QoS algorithm for WSNs, built on extensions to...
Abstract Urban residential buildings make large contributions to energy consumption. Energy consumption per square meter is most widely used measure efficiency in urban buildings. This study aims explore whether it an appropriate indicator. An extended STIRPAT model was based on the survey data from 867 households. Here we present that building area household has a dilution effect meter. Neglecting this leads significant overestimation of effectiveness savings standards. Further analysis...
Abstract Third Pole natural cascade alpine lakes (NCALs) are exceptionally sensitive to climate change, yet the underlying cryosphere-hydrological processes and associated societal impacts largely unknown. Here, with a state-of-the-art cryosphere-hydrology-lake-dam model, we quantified notable high-mountain Hoh-Xil NCALs basin (including Lakes Zonag, Kusai, Hedin Noel, Yanhu, from upstream downstream) formed by Lake Zonag outburst in September 2011. We demonstrate that long-term increased...
Energy efficiency plays an essential role in energy conservation and emissions mitigation efforts the building sector. This is especially important considering that global stock expected to rapidly expand years come. In this study, a global-scale modeling framework developed analyze evolution of intensity per floor area during 1971–2014, its relationship with economic development, future savings across 21 world regions by 2060. Results show that, for residential buildings, while most...
The growing rate of building information modeling (BIM) adoption inevitability adds to the importance understanding BIM decision-making process. Several models based on systematic surveys are available in literature formulate It is still, however, not clear whether decision parameters these universally important. This study examines main attributes process China and Australia. An model developed earlier for Australia tested Chinese data collected from 103 small medium construction companies...
This paper explores the network performance and costs associated with deployment, labor, maintenance of a long-term outdoor multi-hop wireless sensor (WSN) located at Audubon Society Western Pennsylvania (ASWP), which has been in operation for more than four years environmental data collection. The WSN is studied over selected time periods during deployment time, based on two different TinyOS-based routing protocols: commercial XMesh open-source Collection Tree Protocol (CTP). Empirical...
Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) have changed dramatically as a result of climate change during recent decades. Studying changes in long-term lake water storage (LWS) is great importance for regional security and ecosystems. Nam Co Lake second largest central TP. To investigate LWS, distributed cryosphere-hydrology model (WEB-DHM) driven by multi-source data was evaluated then applied to simulate hydrological processes across whole basin from 1980 2016. Firstly, comparison runoff (lake...
Abstract Upper Brahmaputra (UB) is the largest (∼240,000 km 2 ) river basin of Tibetan Plateau, where hydrological processes are highly sensitive to climate change. However, constrained by difficult access and sparse in situ observations, variations precipitation, glaciers, frozen ground, vegetation across UB remain largely unknown, consequently impacts change on streamflow cannot be accurately assessed. To fill this gap, project aims establish a basinwide, large-scale observational network...
For individuals who have experienced tooth loss, dental implants are an important treatment option for oral reconstruction. these patients, alveolar bone augmentation and acceleration of osseointegration optimize implant stability. Traditional surgery often requires invasive procedures, which can result in prolonged time associated morbidity. It has been previously shown that chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization functionalized [2.2]paracyclophanes be used to anchor gene encoding...
Abstract The building sector in China is responsible for 40% of total energy‐related CO 2 emissions, driven by its large population, continuous economic growth, and construction boom. In addition to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy use, buildings drive significant activities production energy‐intensive materials, such as steel cement. While supply‐side strategies have been extensively explored, a demand‐side perspective that considers stock dynamics circularity improvements...
In the past decade, phosphorescence of metal-free confined polymer structures has generated interest in optoelectronics due to their sustainability, low toxicity, and deployment sensing applications. Herein, a free-standing array laterally organized nanofibers was prepared via templated chemical vapor deposition polymerization into liquid crystalline (LC) phase, optical properties were compared compositionally identical films. The fibers converge aligned membranes that maintain high internal...
As the current top-down microchip manufacturing processes approach their resolution limits, there is a need for alternative patterning technologies that offer high feature densities and edge fidelity with single-digit nanometer resolution. To address this challenge, bottom-up have been considered, but they typically require sophisticated masking alignment schemes and/or face materials' compatibility issues. In work, we report systematic study into impact of thermodynamic on area selectivity...
