Research progress on the thermal environment of the urban surfaces

Assessing the Spatial Variability of Daytime/Nighttime Extreme Heat Waves in Beijing under Different Land-Use during 2011–2020

“…In 2016-2020, the average annual cumulative hours of extreme heat waves were 95.06% (daytime) and 115.70% (nighttime) higher than those in 2011-2015. This is related to natural climate change and human activities [26][27][28]. The WMO survey results show that 2011-2020 was the warmest decade on record.…”

Taking a deeper look into the roles of amines in atomic absorption spectrometry

“…The determination of aliphatic amines is also possible following the reaction of their protonated forms (ammonium salts) with Co (II) and thiocyanate (tetrathiocyanate cobaltate (II) ) 195,196 and subsequent FAAS determination of the Co contained in the complex. Primary amines studied only include cyclohexylamine and hexylamine.…”

Analysis of the impact of land use change on surface temperature in Shandong Province from the perspective of urban-rural construction differences

“…Forest land and grassland remain the major land use types in the ultra low temperature, lower temperature, and low temperature ranges, while the temperature of water bodies and farmland has slightly increased. With the sprawl of urban construction land and rural construction land as the prominent feature, the spread of construction land has caused a great number of impermeable surfaces such as asphalt, metal, and cement replacing the original natural land surface [15], reducing surface evaporation and decreasing vegetation cover, leading to an overall increase in temperature.…”
