This study explores and quantifies the impacts of green roofs (GR) design factors on microclimate regulation. Against rapid urbanization and intensifying climate changes, green infrastructure has received increasing attention due to its contribution to dealing with the urban heat islands effect (UHIE) and increasing urban sustainability. GR is one example of green infrastructure and is widely used in cities. However, its microclimate regulation benefits have not been thoroughly explored and require more exploration. There are insufficient studies on quantifying GR design factors impacts on microclimate regulation. Meanwhile, little research has explored the impact of regulating microclimate when accessibility is considered as a design factor. Using a GR in Washington, D.C., as a case study, this study models 14 roof scenarios with several common GR design factors, generates their simulated microclimate patterns, and quantifies each design factors impact based on statistical analyses. Results present quantitative data on how studied design factors change microclimate patterns and find that accessibility does affect some microclimate aspects but only to a limited rate. This study provides suggestions and insights to optimize GR design guidelines. Overall, this study contributes to the refinement of GR research, promotes better GR design, and responds to urbanization and climate issues.
本研究探讨并量化了绿色屋顶（GR）设计因素对微气候调节的影响。在快速城市化和气候变化加剧的背景下，绿色基础设施因其在应对城市热岛效应（UHIE）和提高城市可持续性方面的贡献而受到越来越多的关注。城市绿化是绿色基础设施的一个例子，在城市中得到广泛应用。然而，其微气候调节效益尚未得到深入探讨，需要更多的探索。目前还没有足够的研究来量化 GR 设计因素对微气候调节的影响。同时，很少有研究探讨将可达性作为设计因素时对微气候调节的影响。本研究以华盛顿特区的一个温室为案例，利用几种常见的温室设计因素对 14 种屋顶方案进行建模，生成模拟的微气候模式，并根据统计分析对每种设计因素的影响进行量化。研究结果提供了所研究的设计因素如何改变微气候模式的量化数据，并发现可达性确实会影响某些微气候方面，但影响程度有限。本研究为优化 GR 设计指南提供了建议和见解。总之，本研究有助于完善全球资源评估研究，促进更好的全球资源评估设计，应对城市化和气候问题。

The noise reduction technology of ship propellers is currently one of the challenging directions, despite some progress having been made, continuous research and development are still underway. This paper elucidates commonly used noise reduction methods, namely geometric structure optimization and material optimization. Geometric structure optimization involves aspects such as the number of propeller blades, disk loading ratio, skew angle, and blade shape. Material optimization encompasses material selection, surface coating optimization, and propeller duct design. Corresponding optimization methods are provided for both approaches. A novel and innovative research direction is proposed, leveraging machine learning and neural networks to optimize propeller parameters. Additionally, employing a circumferential friction nanogenerator to sense propeller bearings and identify the coupling relationship between electrical signals and factors such as roughness and rotational speed. This optimization aims to reduce noise by optimizing propeller parameters. The paper concludes by offering insights for current research on ship propeller noise reduction technology in China.

Extensive research has shown that it is essential to take environmental responsibilities into careful consideration in economic development. Green growth has thereby become one of the most important topics in environmental economics across the globe no matter people are from academia, public, or private sectors. Even though there are many researchers who have investigated the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution, the vast majority of research has only focused on the absolute amount of economic growth and carbon emissions. In this study, utilizing national statistics about gross domestic product and carbon emissions by region over decades, I not only provide a concrete and comprehensive picture of the green growth of Chinese provinces over time, but also present multiple indicators to capture the growth of carbon emissions and gross domestic product, as well as the growth rate of green growth. The results show that, in spite of a high GDP growth rate, the green growth rate was negative because the carbon emissions growth rate was much higher than the rate of GDP growth. This work has shed some light regarding how Chinese provinces can balance between high economic growth and low carbon emissions in order to have a more sustainable and environment-friendly development path.
大量研究表明，在经济发展中认真考虑环境责任至关重要。因此，无论学术界、公共部门还是私营部门，绿色增长都已成为全球环境经济学中最重要的课题之一。尽管有许多研究者对经济增长与环境污染之间的关系进行了研究，但绝大多数研究都只关注经济增长与碳排放的绝对量。在本研究中，笔者利用数十年来全国各地区的国内生产总值和碳排放量统计数据，不仅具体而全面地反映了中国各省在不同时期的绿色增长情况，而且提出了多个指标来反映碳排放量和国内生产总值的增长情况，以及绿色增长的增长率。结果表明，尽管 GDP 增长率较高，但由于碳排放增长率远高于 GDP 增长率，绿色增长率为负。这项研究对中国各省如何在高经济增长和低碳排放之间取得平衡，以实现更可持续的环境友好型发展道路提供了一些启示。

As an emerging material, two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based nanomaterials have unique optical and electrical properties due to their unique atomic layer structure. On the one hand, due to their high transmittance, high carrier mobility, controllable Fermi level, and wide spectral light saturation absorption characteristics, they can be applied in new-generation solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, touch screens, and fiber optic devices. On the other hand, due to their unique nanostructure, they have high specific surface area, low diffusion distance, high conductivity, and ion conductivity. They can serve as substrates and work together with other materials as electrode materials for future fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries and have significant advantages in fields such as sensors. This article mainly summarizes the impact of two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials represented by graphene, Mxene, and 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) on their optical and electrical properties, and summarizes the latest practical applications and research progress of these nanomaterials in the field of optics and electronics. In addition, a corresponding summary and outlook have been made on the problems that need to be solved in future applications of 2D carbon-based nanomaterials.

In todays society, people are increasingly aware of the importance of protecting the environment. In the past, some batteries and power generation methods were extremely harmful to the environment. So people began to seek sustainable energy sources, such as hydropower, solar power, and wind power. Among them, how to efficiently and sustainably store electric energy for these power generation methods while using the most environmentally friendly materials has become an important research direction. Carbon-based batteries have become the preferred energy storage device due to their many advantages, such as easy material acquisition, low cost, environmental protection and degradability. This paper mainly summarizes the advantages of carbon-based batteries such as simple and relatively mature preparation process, high stability and strong sustainability, as well as unit energy from the aspects of carbon-based supercapacitors, solar cells, solid-state batteries and bio-carbon-based batteries. This paper finds that shortcomings of carbon-based batteries such as low density and poor safety in special environments require further innovation in materials and processes. If the above shortcomings can be made up, carbon-based batteries will have huge application space.

Nowadays, all walks of life are developing with innovation at their core, and the subject of materials is no exception, while nanomaterials occupy an important position in the emerging field due to their unique properties and wide coverage. In addition, the incidence of cancer, a difficult disease with a very high mortality rate, is increasing day by day. Therefore, research on cancer has received extensive attention from society. Therefore, this paper explores how cancer can be treated by means of nanomaterials through the organization of current research and papers in the field. Research at this stage suggests that nanomaterials play a major auxiliary role in anti-cancer technology, as follows: enhancing the ability of other substances to disrupt cell membranes, assisting in the delivery of anti-tumor drugs, improving imaging capabilities, and enhancing the ability of some substances to inhibit tumor growth through specific mechanisms. In future research, the focus will be on minimizing the side effects of the treatment and improving its safety.

In cities across the world, both in the global South and North, the distribution of urban green spaces exhibits stark inequalities. Affluent neighborhoods are often graced with abundant, well-maintained parks and green areas, offering residents a higher quality of life and environmental benefits. In contrast, communities with lower incomes and minority populations frequently face a scarcity of such spaces, and the green areas they do have tend to be of lower quality. This disparity not only reflects broader social and economic inequities but also has significant implications for public health, environmental justice, and social cohesion. Efforts to rectify this imbalance, while well-intentioned, can inadvertently lead to gentrification. Improving green spaces in underserved neighborhoods often makes these areas more attractive to higher-income groups, driving up property values and living costs. This process can displace long-term, lower-income residents, ironically exacerbating the very inequalities such initiatives aim to address. The resulting gentrification can also lead to increased homelessness among the most vulnerable populations. Thus, urban planners and policymakers face a complex, paradoxical challenge: how to equitably enhance urban greenery without contributing to gentrification and the further marginalization of low-income communities. This dilemma underscores the need for inclusive, carefully considered strategies in urban environmental planning that prioritize the needs and voices of all residents, especially those in historically marginalized communities.
{"title":"Urban Green-Space: Environmental Justice & Green Gentrification","authors":"Chuantao Chang","doi":"10.54254/2755-2721/61/20240954","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54254/2755-2721/61/20240954","url":null,"abstract":"In cities across the world, both in the global South and North, the distribution of urban green spaces exhibits stark inequalities. Affluent neighborhoods are often graced with abundant, well-maintained parks and green areas, offering residents a higher quality of life and environmental benefits. In contrast, communities with lower incomes and minority populations frequently face a scarcity of such spaces, and the green areas they do have tend to be of lower quality. This disparity not only reflects broader social and economic inequities but also has significant implications for public health, environmental justice, and social cohesion. Efforts to rectify this imbalance, while well-intentioned, can inadvertently lead to gentrification. Improving green spaces in underserved neighborhoods often makes these areas more attractive to higher-income groups, driving up property values and living costs. This process can displace long-term, lower-income residents, ironically exacerbating the very inequalities such initiatives aim to address. The resulting gentrification can also lead to increased homelessness among the most vulnerable populations. Thus, urban planners and policymakers face a complex, paradoxical challenge: how to equitably enhance urban greenery without contributing to gentrification and the further marginalization of low-income communities.
