SPATIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN BUCHAREST METROPOLITAN AREA by CRISTINA DUMITRICĂ, DANIEL CIUPITU, INES GRIGORESCU

“…Industrial sites and compact residential neighborhoods are characterized by high temperatures contrasting with the green spaces and water surfaces that are “coolness islands”. The city’s heat island is obvious, but the small difference compared to the surrounding areas is explained by the expansion of the urban metropolitan area with various functions (e.g. services and commercial) in the neighboring urban-rural space. …”

A bolu : constructions patrimoniales en Sardaigne by Ignazio Macchiarella

“…My essay aims first of all to describe the scenario in which the UNESCO intervention took place, the (somewhat controversial) methods with which it was carried out and the results that emerged, both in the context of the musical practice that was the subject of the proclamation, and in that of other musical practices not taken into account by the recognition, but of equal cultural value to the island's inhabitants. Emphasis is placed on the significant initiatives undertaken by groups of Canto a tenore in collaboration with representatives of other traditional practices (canto a cuncordu, launeddas, improvised poetry, guitar-accompanied singing) who have promoted original actions of self-heritagization, culminating, in 2015, in the creation of an association made up of musicians from different traditional practices. …”

Numerical Simulations of the 1 May 2012 Deep Convection Event over Cuba: Sensitivity to Cumulus and Microphysical Schemes in a High-Resolution Model by Yandy G. Mayor, Michel D. S. Mesquita

“…This paper evaluates the sensitivity to cumulus and microphysics schemes, as represented in numerical simulations of the Weather Research and Forecasting model, in characterizing a deep convection event over the Cuban island on 1 May 2012. To this end, 30 experiments combining five cumulus and six microphysics schemes, in addition to two experiments in which the cumulus parameterization was turned off, are tested in order to choose the combination that represents the event precipitation more accurately. …”
