Spatial configuration of green space matters: Associations between urban land cover and air temperature
likely through shading and evapotranspiration. Aggregated trees further improved daytime cooling by 0.42 °C. A 10% increase in grasses and shrubs offered significant night-time cooling up to 0.47 °C, ...
Holography-based aerobiological monitoring: a 2-year intercomparison campaign versus the standard Hirst method in Brussels, Belgium
of most allergenic pollen taxa. Further improvements are expected by training the identification algorithm with reference datasets generated from pollen collected in the local environment. Health ...
Oncolytic Viruses: An Inventory of Shedding Data from Clinical Trials and Elements for the Environmental Risk Assessment.
Besides the identification of a topical need for improving the collection of shedding data, this article aims at providing an aid to the design of an appropriate shedding study, thereby relying on and ...
