‘Groaning wicked like a maddening dog’: Bestiality, Modernity and Irishness in J. M. Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World by Hélène Lecossois

“…This article proposes to read these imageries as indexes of (pre-) modernity, and as markers of the divide between rural and urban areas that modernity accentuated. It argues that the animal-like behaviour that Synge’s play calls for may be considered as a form of resistance to a hegemonic and early twentieth century conception of modernity. …”

Optimizing the Composite Cost Involved in Road Motor-Transporting Trucks by Taking into Account Traffic Condition by Hongying Fei, Chengyi Zhang

“…Since the vehicle transporters mainly are the severe-polluting heavy-duty vehicles and their exhaust emissions vary under different traffic conditions, it is necessary to improve the planning of road motor-transporting services by taking into account road traffic condition, especially for urban areas. This study aims at minimizing the composite cost, including both the economic cost related to the driver cost and fuel consumption, and the social cost related to the vehicle emissions. …”

Landscapes without landscape architects. The ecological beauty of informal urban landscapes by Chiara Catalano, Thomas E. Hauck, Susann Ahn, Salvatore Pasta

“… Regarding the maintenance of urban green infrastructure, most stakeholders prefer achieving an oversimplified aesthetic archetype of cleanliness and order at the cost of high maintenance, whilst landscape architects try to reproduce islands of near-natural vegetation even where the environmental factors typical of urban areas do not allow it. In the long term, the struggle between these two opposite ways of conceiving the look and the role of green infrastructure appears pointless: in the end, what decides the identity of most urban green infrastructure is the ‘vegetation by use’, that is, the daily people’s use of these spaces (whether accessible). …”

Climate change dominates over urbanization in tropical cyclone rainfall patterns by Zifeng Deng, Gabriele Villarini, Zhaoli Wang

“…Here, we employ a convection-permitting numerical model to quantify the relative effects of urbanization and climate change on rainfall from ten typhoons across a highly urbanized area in China. We show that climate change is largely responsible for the changes in the spatial pattern and amounts of rainfall from tropical cyclones; on the other hand, urbanization consistently contributes to the redistribution of rainfall, and its positive effects are comparable to those of climate change in the urban core. …”
