Artificial lighting is strongly associated with urbanisation and is increasing in its extent, brightness and spectral range. Changes in urban lighting have both positive and negative effects on city performance, yet little is known about how its character and magnitude vary across the urban landscape. A major barrier to related research, planning and governance has been the lack of lighting dat...

It is quite useful to grasp ground spatial aspects and its temporal change. Especially in highly urbanized area such capability has very important role for not only development planning but also disaster recovery planning. Table 1 shows examples and their usages of urban parameters. POLSAR has operational advantages over optical sensors because of acquisition capability regardless of weather, d...

The principal habitats of immature Orthopodomyia alba and Orthopodomyia signifera are tree holes, though they are occasionally encountered in artificial containers. We collected 929 Or. alba and 17 Or. signifera from 2 plastic trash cans, 2 scrap tires, and a tree hole. All collections were made in an urban residential area in central Illinois.

The ecological impact of night-time lighting is of concern because of its well-demonstrated effects on animal behaviour. However, the potential of light pollution to change plant phenology and its corresponding knock-on effects on associated herbivores are less clear. Here, we test if artificial lighting can advance the timing of budburst in trees. We took a UK-wide 13 year dataset of spatially...

The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and spatial metrics aimed at improving the analysis and modeling of urban growth and land use change. While remote sensing data have been used in urban modeling and analysis for some time, the proposed combination of remote sensing and spatial metrics for that purpose is quite novel. Starting with a review of recent developments in each of...

Street art opens a new, broad research field in the context of urban communication and sound aesthetics in public space. The primary focus of this article is the relevance and effects of using sound technologies and audio devices to shape urban landscape and soundscape. This paper examines the process of developing an alternative type of street art that uses sound as its medium. It represents m...

BACKGROUND Urban/peri-urban dairy production and sales has evolved as an adjustment to cope with food security and economic needs for urban dwellers in low-income countries and created an opportunity to transform from subsistence rural lifestyles of dairy farming to commercial engagement in towns. However, urban/peri-urban dairy farms differ in challenges from rural dairy farms and reproduction...
