“…Among major counties (population of 1 million or more), San Diego and Contra Costa show the smallest cooling signal (~0.7 °C). The cooling effects of cool roofs reported here are in agreement with the previous studies in the Los Angeles area reporting cooling signals of 1–2.5 °C 25 , 29 . Albedo change patterns (Supplementary Fig.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Mohan et al (2012) explain that UHI occurs in urban areas with infrastructures and commercial centres. According to Akbari (2008), an urban centre's high air temperature is due to the strong absorption of radiation by roofs and pavements. High air temperature occurs, also, during the summer months in large international cities such as London, Los Angeles, China, and in large Indonesian cities such as DKI Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, and Bandung.…”

“…This is primarily due to convective heat transfer from the surfaces of two engineering materials -concrete and asphalt. These construction materials are the dominant materials in urban areas, with pavement materials making up between 29% and 45% of urban footprints (Akbari 2012). Concrete is a thermal mass material that has high volumetric heat capacity.…”
