Urban morphology detection and computation for urban climate research

TL;DR: In this paper, a satellite-based approach was proposed to extract 3D urban morphology information, and then retrieve and validate typical urban morphological parameters for urban climatic applications, such as building coverage ratio (BCR), building height (BH), building volume density (BVD), frontal area index (FAI), sky view factor (SVF), and roughness length (RL), to generate a Hong Kong Urban Climatic Map.
Journal ArticleDOI

A High Resolution Genetic Map Anchoring Scaffolds of the Sequenced Watermelon Genome

TL;DR: The high resolution genetic map developed here should be a useful platform for the assembly of the watermelon genome, for the development of sequence-based markers used in breeding programs, and for the identification of genes associated with important agricultural traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating the relationship between local climate zone and land surface temperature using an improved WUDAPT methodology – A case study of Yangtze River Delta, China

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated how LST represents the UHI intensity determined by using an improved method of the World Urban Database and Portal Tool (WUDAPT) to develop the LCZ map of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) megaregion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solvothermal Synthesis of Alloyed PtNi Colloidal Nanocrystal Clusters (CNCs) with Enhanced Catalytic Activity for Methanol Oxidation

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple one-pot solvothermal method is developed to prepare PtNi-alloyed CNCs with homogeneous distribution of Pt and Ni elements, porous feature, and interconnected steady framework.
