Generalized Scaling of Urban Heat Island Effect and Its Applications for Energy Consumption and Renewable Energy by T.-W. Lee, Heung S. Choi, Jinoh Lee

“…In previous work from this laboratory, it has been found that the urban heat island intensity (UHI) can be scaled with the urban length scale and the wind speed, through the time-dependent energy balance. The heating of the urban surfaces during the daytime sets the initial temperature, and this overheating is dissipated during the night-time through mean convection motion over the urban surface. …”

Is Chinaʼs Capital Liberalisation Policy Effective? by Lirong Wang, Jinnan Zhou, C. James Hueng

“…These allow us to investigate the effects of Chinaʼs capital controls and subsequent liberalisation policies, along with various global‐push and domestic‐pull factors, on its gross capital flows in a time series analysis. We collect various sources of information on Chinaʼs capital control policies from 2005 to 2022 and construct quarterly time series of Chinaʼs capital control indices for different types of gross flows. …”

Climate-denying rumor propagation in a coupled socio-climate model: Impact on average global temperature. by Athira Satheesh Kumar, Chris T Bauch, Madhur Anand

“…Our numerical analysis indicates that, over time, the temperature anomaly becomes less affected by the variations in rumor propagation parameters, and having larger groups (having more members) is more efficient in reducing temperature (by efficiently propagating rumors) than having numerous small groups. …”

Estimating Safety Effects of Green-Man Countdown Devices at Signalized Pedestrian Crosswalk Based on Cellular Automata by Chen Chai, Xiupeng Shi, Yiik Diew Wong

“…Simulation outputs allow analysts to assess the impacts of GMCD at various conditions with different geometric layout, traffic and pedestrian volumes, and the green time. According to simulation results, it is found that the safety impact of GMCD is affected by traffic condition as well as different time duration within green-man signal phase. …”
