To better understand the influence of urban green infrastructure (UGI) on outdoor human thermal comfort, a survey and physical measurements were performed at the campus of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, in spring and summer 2015. Three hundred eighty-nine respondents were interviewed in five different green spaces. We aimed to analyze people's thermal comfort perception and prefe...

Repair of uracils in DNA is initiated by uracil DNA glycosylases (UDGs). Family 1 UDGs (Ung) are the most efficient and ubiquitous proteins having an exquisite specificity for uracils in DNA. Ung are characterized by motifs A (GQDPY) and B (HPSPLS) sequences. We report a novel dimeric UDG, Blr0248 (BdiUng) from Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens. Although BdiUng contains the motif A (GQDPA), it has ...

Urban green infrastructure (UGI) provides multiple functions that combine ecological and social benefits. UGI is being increasingly promoted implemented in the Global North. In other parts of world, such as South, infrastructures for implementation promotion are sparse. The state development informal settlements South present different constraints demands should be explicitly addressed. This st...

The Cover Feature shows a combination that could be called the ugly duckling of Ugi 4-component reactions, which involves concomitant use ammonia/formaldehyde pair. There was not single methodology so far to successfully achieve this goal. metamorphosis finally happen with intermediacy hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA), allows in situ generation both ammonia and formaldehyde for reactions carboxyli...

The benefits of urban green and blue infrastructure (UGI) are widely discussed, but rarely take into account local conditions or contexts. Although assessments increasingly consider the demand for ecosystem services that UGI provides, they tend to only map spatial pattern pressures such as heat, air pollution, lack a wider understanding where beneficiaries located who will benefit most. We asse...

introduction: gutta-percha, the concrete milky juice of the sapotaceae family tree, is the most commonly used material for obturation of prepared canal space. natural 1-4 trans stereochemical structure of gutta-percha is taken to a heating- inclusion process of various organic and inorganic elements by manufacturers. the purpose of this study is to detect the presence and percentage of inorgani...

The uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor gene (ugi) of the Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage PBS2 has been subcloned to a 720-base pair DNA fragment contained in pZW2-0.7 and its nucleotide sequence determined. Using nucleotide deletion analysis, we have located the cloned ugi gene along with potential regulatory elements. A promoter-like region (-10 and -35 consensus sequences) similar to other B. s...

Urban green infrastructure (UGI) can be used as a sustainable stormwater management approach. UGI bring numerous ecological benefits to cities, including increased urban resilience, availability of water resources, and optimization habitats. This paper empirical research methods describe an Internet things (IoT)-based monitoring control system for (MCSSWM). Using Xuzhou-based practical project ...
