The increase in land surface temperature (LST) in megacities has contributed to global warming due to poor urban planning and high population concentration. This study analyzes spatiotemporal trend patterns of LST in the city of Metropolitan Lima, Peru, during the summers of 1986-2024. The Mann-Kendall tests and the Theil-Sen Slope method were used to analyze the spatio-temporal trends of LST, relating R-2 and the Mann-Kendall p-value of the annual average LST in each district. A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to group districts according to their average yearly LST. Urban heat islands were identified based on basin configuration and distance to the sea at 1 km intervals. The results reveal a significant increase in LST (p < 0.001) related to El Nino-Southern Oscillation phenomena, in addition to urban growth and land cover change. The significant positive trend of LST showed a heterogeneous distribution in all districts. The districts were grouped into three clusters with statistically significant differences in LST (p < 0.001), spatially configured radially from the sea to the foot of the Andes, up to 1179 m a.s.l. Urban heat islands did not correlate with significant positive trends in basins. Still, they showed a considerable increase in LST in areas of high economic activity, including dense commercial, industrial, and residential areas. This information is crucial to managing climate change adaptation and mitigation measures and contributing to sustainable urban planning focused on the population's well-being.

Recent years have seen growing international interest in the practice of 'adaptive reuse' of heritage buildings, promoted as a financially more viable and environmentally sustainable way to achieve both regeneration and conservation. In parallel, adaptive reuse has emerged as an aim in national policy frameworks and EU governance. Much of the writing on adaptive reuse reflects its nature as a design practice and concentrates on the material form intervention may take. This paper has a different approach, considering the institutional factors that support adaptive reuse occurring, as part of a multi-faceted and complex conservation-planning assemblage, across fifteen European countries. Focusing on regulatory systems for heritage and planning, governance systems, human and financial resources and policies on civic engagement and participation, thematic analysis is used to generate a typology of approaches across the continent, grouping the countries considered into three clusters. The typology proposed is not fixed, but a way to conceptualise the similarities and differences in institutional and policy-contexts that facilitate or restrict adaptive reuse. It contributes to a more informed overview of the context for adaptive reuse and the possibilities of learning from different policy contexts.

The sky view factor (SVF) is a key indicator in urban structures and is used in research in various fields. Recently, a method was developed to compute SVF in complex urban areas using airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR). However, it displays low accuracy in areas with trees and buildings, owing to the limited resolution of airborne LiDAR data. In this study, the accuracy of the SVF calculation using terrestrial LiDAR was verified by comparing the reference data calculated from fisheye photographs at the same positions. Our results indicate that the SVF derived using terrestrial LiDAR has higher accuracy. We also tested whether a higher accuracy could be obtained by increasing the spatial resolution of the LiDAR data. The SVF estimation is more accurate when using terrestrial LiDAR, displaying a 60% reduction in the maximum error compared with the SVF estimated using airborne LiDAR. In addition, according to this research, a voxel size of 2.5 cm is sufficient for estimating SVF in a complex urban area. This resolution can be achieved through mobile LiDAR. Therefore, it is anticipated that the SVF calculation technique used in this study will be more practical when used with mobile LiDAR.

We conducted a comprehensive investigation into the relationship between autonomous vehicles (AVs) and the built environment (BE). We explored how various potential changes in transportation by AVs may influence the BE using the D-variables: density, diversity, design, and destination accessibility. Our review revealed that AVs could cause drastic changes to all aspects of the BE;however, the extent of these changes strongly depends on uncertainties in technology, policy, and transportation modes. Further research into AVs-BE relationships should focus on developing comprehensive scenarios, accounting for these uncertainties and regional and social characteristics.

Roads have provided convenience to mankind, but much natural destruction occurs when roads are constructed adjacent to mountains. Route selection was based on a qualitative methodology of expert judgment, and the road was planned with the operator's objectives and minimum costs in the first place. In this study, we propose a new road route planning method that uses a quantitative and specific method using a genetic algorithm. By focusing on 'habitat destruction' and 'soil erosion due to cut soil', which are major problems caused by the construction of roads, the conflicting objectives of 'minimization of costs for users and builders' are combined and weighted for each purpose. Compared to the existing road, the proposed road could have an 85.52% increase in biodiversity conservation and a 4% improvement in soil loss stability. This model allows decision makers to efficiently generate scenarios by adjusting the weights of goals or substituting data.

To confirm how repeated small deformations caused by moderate earthquakes during the use period of a wooden house affect the shear resisting wall, in-plane shear experiments with numerous small deformations on walls using plywood, gypsum board, and wooden braces were conducted. Even with small deformations, it was found that the load decreased, and the equivalent stiffness decreased because of the repetition of the same deformation for plywood and gypsum board wall. At 200 times repetitions of 1/450 rad, the load decreased to about 85 % for the plywood wall and 70 % for the gypsum board wall. The load reduction due to repeated deformation of gypsum board wall was larger than that of other walls. However, the characteristic values were not significantly affected, even if the wall received repeated small deformations.

A multiplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) system was modified and evaluated for the simultaneous detection of multiple viruses in coinfected lily plants. Four major lily viruses, namely, lily symptomless, cucumber mosaic, lily mottle, and plantago asiatica mosaic viruses, were targeted by simultaneous detection. Analysis of PCR products confirmed the amplification of virus-specific DNA fragments of the expected sizes and nucleotide sequences from the target viruses. The cDNAs from singly infected plant samples were used as positive controls, and multiple infected samples were used to develop the multiplex RT-PCR system, which was then applied to leaf samples from diverse lily species and hybrids. The modified multiplex RT-PCR was successfully validated on the simultaneous detection of these viruses.

Despite the promulgation of the UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1972, widely lauded for being the first international convention to include natural and cultural heritage, the separation of cultural and natural heritage persists. Equally, within the top-down 'authorised' global and national heritage systems, the values of the elite and powerful continue to be emphasised while the understanding of heritage by the general public is often downplayed or ignored. This paper analyses the travel journals of tourists who have recently visited the (Humble Administrator's Garden), China, in order to explore visitor understanding of the cultural and natural values of this World Heritage listed place. The findings indicate that tourists' experiences are connected to their personal memories, feelings and emotions in ways that integrate cultural and natural heritage meanings and values. Such interconnected 'naturecultures' experienced by individual tourists, we argue, is more emotional and powerful than the official UNESCO and state-sanctioned narrative.

The post-suburban notion suggests the transformation of suburbs due to infrastructure expansion and connectivity between primary and smaller cities, which leads to polycentricity. This paper examines postsuburbanisation by examining commuting patterns, origin-destination, and commuters' socio-economic characteristics in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA). This study uses cross-sectional commuting survey data in 2014 and 2019 to investigate the post-suburbanisation process by three indicators;(i) spatial dependence of job and school activities to Jakarta is limited, (ii) maturity of sub-urban is higher in outer districts as it is more attractive for middle-upper class and older migrants and (iii) segregation as a higher share of commuters from adjacent districts. This paper contributes to the post-suburbanisation literature by highlighting the importance of commuting data and the dynamic of urban socio-spatial in a developing country that calls for multilevel institutional arrangements to manage the metropolitan.

In this work, a 3D -printed plasmonic chip based on a silver -gold bilayer was developed in order to enhance the optical response of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) probe. More specifically, numerical and experimental results were obtained on the 3D -printed SPR platform based on a silver -gold bilayer. Then, the optimized probe's gold plasmonic interface was functionalized with a specific antibody directed against the p27Kip1 protein (p27), an important cell cycle regulator. The 3D -printed plasmonic biosensor was tested for p27 detection with good selectivity and a detection limit of 55 pM. The biosensor system demonstrated performance similar to commercially available ELISA (enzyme -linked immunoassay) kits, with several advantages, such as a wide detection range and a modular and simple -based architecture. The proposed biosensing technology offers flexible deployment options that are useful in disposable, low-cost, small -size, and simple -to -use biochips, envisaging future applications in experimental and biomedical research.
