Article history: Received 19 August 2015 Received in revised form 25 April 2016 Accepted 26 April 2016 Available online xxxx State and local governments are increasingly considering the adoption of legislation to promote green infrastructure (e.g., bioswales, green roofs) for stormwatermanagement. This interest emerges from higher frequencies of combined sewer outflows, floods and exposure of r...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Digital camera Vegetation phenology RGB Green excess index Green-up date Temperature sensitivity Japan Vegetation phenology such as the onset of green-up and senescence is strongly controlled by climate and other environmental factors, and in turn affects the terrestrial carbon balance. Therefore, phenological observation is important as an indicator of global wa...

OBJECTIVES Evaluate the effect of combinations of green banana biomass and laxatives in children and adolescents with chronic constipation. METHODS This was a randomized study of 80 children and adolescents with functional constipation according to the Rome IV Criteria, who were divided into five groups: (1) green banana biomass alone; (2) green banana biomass plus PEG 3350 with electrolytes;...

nowadays, green chemistry and its advantages are generating interest of researchers toward ecofriendly biosynthesis of the metallic nanoparticles. in this research, a rapid, simple and green method was developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous extract of prangos ferulaceae leaves. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv-vis spectroscopy, scanning el...

in this study, a feasible green method for the synthesis of copper oxide nanocrystalline is described by using sour cherry juice which has a significant effect on crystalline size, and morphology. the benefits of the green method, not only nanometer scale are formed but also low-cost method are obtained in a normal atmosphere which it has been used (ch3coo)2cu.h2o individually as cu sources. al...

A numerical study with a weather research and forecasting (WRF) model at 300-m resolution shows that Singapore’s canopy-layer UHI intensity has a strong diurnal cycle, peaking in early morning and keeping almost constant during late night and early morning. The modeled ensemble peak UHI intensity is 2.2 C and it can reach 2.4 C during early morning in the intensive industrial region in west Sin...

The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between the distribution of small-scale green spaces and butterfly assemblages in urbanizing areas located north-east of Ichikawa City. Landscape indices of green cover distribution with a diversity index H of vegetation types and a number of different vegetation types, GCI (Green Cluster Index) of each vegetation type and average minimum...

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) can be coupled with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to detect intramolecular dynamics of proteins on the microsecond time scale. Here we describe application of FRET-FCS to detect fluctuations within the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of the Ca(2+)-signaling protein calmodulin. Intramolecular fluctuations were resolved by global fitting of...
