TL;DR: This work analyses the results obtained from a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation study using a Reynolds-Average-Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver to study the flow and induced exchange processes in the area around the Marylebone Road and Gloucester Place intersection modelled at a 1:200 scale.

TL;DR: In this study, CFD simulations of urban microclimate are performed for a dense highly heterogeneous district in Nicosia, Cyprus and validated using a high-resolution dataset of on-site measurements of air temperature, wind speed and surface temperature conducted for the same district area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe progress from a major U.K. project, Dispersion of Air Pollution and its Penetration into the Local Environment (DAPPLE), focusing on the movement of airborne pollutants in cities by developing a greater understanding of atmospheric flow and dispersion within urban street networks.
Abstract: In the event of a release of toxic gas in the center of London, emergency services personnel would need to determine quickly the extent of the area contaminated. The transport of pollutants by turbulent flow within the complex streets and building architecture of London, United Kingdom, is not straightforward, and we might wonder whether it is at all possible to make a scientifically reasoned decision. Here, we describe recent progress from a major U.K. project, Dispersion of Air Pollution and its Penetration into the Local Environment (DAPPLE; information online at www.dapple.org.uk). In DAPPLE, we focus on the movement of airborne pollutants in cities by developing a greater understanding of atmospheric flow and dispersion within urban street networks. In particular, we carried out full-scale dispersion experiments in central London from 2003 through 2008 to address the extent of the dispersion of tracers following their release at street level. These measurements complemented previous studies because 1...

TL;DR: In this article, three wind models are compared to near-surface time-averaged wind measurements obtained in downtown Oklahoma City during the Joint Urban 2003 Field Campaign, and a qualitative comparison of the model-computed flow fields with the JUWC 2003 wind measurements is conducted.

TL;DR: This review highlights the research aimed at the implementation of MOFs as an integral part of solid-state microelectronics and discusses the fundamental and applied aspects of this two-pronged approach.
Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are typically highlighted for their potential application in gas storage, separations and catalysis. In contrast, the unique prospects these porous and crystalline materials offer for application in electronic devices, although actively developed, are often underexposed. This review highlights the research aimed at the implementation of MOFs as an integral part of solid-state microelectronics. Manufacturing these devices will critically depend on the compatibility of MOFs with existing fabrication protocols and predominant standards. Therefore, it is important to focus in parallel on a fundamental understanding of the distinguishing properties of MOFs and eliminating fabrication-related obstacles for integration. The latter implies a shift from the microcrystalline powder synthesis in chemistry labs, towards film deposition and processing in a cleanroom environment. Both the fundamental and applied aspects of this two-pronged approach are discussed. Critical directions for future research are proposed in an updated high-level roadmap to stimulate the next steps towards MOF-based microelectronics within the community.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of finite thermal conductivity and recirculation in droplets can be taken into account using the so-called parabolic model, which is a reasonable compromise between accuracy and CPU efficiency.

TL;DR: An exhaustive evaluation of 24 identical units of a commercial low-cost sensor platform against CEN (European Standardization Organization) reference analyzers, evaluating their measurement capability over time and a range of environmental conditions shows that their performance varies spatially and temporally.
