Performance evaluation of four cascade impactors for airborne ultrafine-particle (UFP) collection: the influence of particle type, concentration, mass, and chemical nature by E. Eckenberger, A. Mittereder, N. Gawlitta, N. Gawlitta, J. Schnelle-Kreis, J. Schnelle-Kreis, M. Sklorz, D. Brüggemann, R. Zimmermann, R. Zimmermann, A. C. Nölscher

“…We attributed this tendency to the following two effects. (1) Evaporation losses of these markers were likely driven by the pressure drop within the impactor, which increased from the PENS to the ELPI. (2) Despite the applied coating, bounce-off might have affected the smallest impactors (i.e., the PENS and ultraMOUDI) the most as they have fewer stages for retaining larger particles and fragments.…”

Visual Environment Factors Influencing Staying Behaviors During Cycling on Countryside Greenways by Ting WEN, Yun ZHANG, Ming DU

“…Moreover, the visual environment’s influence varies between nodes and road sections; staying behaviors at nodes are primarily affected by the visual field area, while those on road sections are influenced by green visibility, with higher greenery levels promoting impromptu short stays.ConclusionThis research endeavors to develop spatial strategies for enhancing the staying behaviors of cyclists on countryside greenways, with a view to improving the usage intensity of greenway nodes and ensuring the safety of road segment traversal. …”
