Air pollution has long been a public health concern in South America, now increasingly linked to climate change. In Brazil, this issue is particularly acute in smaller cities with limited monitoring infrastructure. Sinop, located in the Amazon biome ...
Urban trees play a pivotal role in mitigating heat, yet the global determinants and patterns of their cooling efficiency (CE) remain elusive. Here, we quantify the diel CE of 229 cities across four climatic zones and employ a machine-learning model t...
Air pollution backcasting, especially nitrogen dioxide (NO), is crucial in epidemiological studies, thus enabling the reconstruction of historical exposure levels for assessing long-term health effects. Changes in NO concentrations in urban areas are...

Groundwater, a pivotal water resource in numerous regions worldwide, confronts formidable challenges posed by severe nitrate pollution. Traditional research methodologies aimed at addressing groundwater nitrate contamination frequently struggle to ac...
When studying the impact of policy interventions or natural experiments on air pollution, such as new environmental policies or the opening or closing of an industrial facility, careful statistical analysis is needed to separate causal changes from o...
Human Action Recognition (HAR) has grown significantly because of its many uses, including real-time surveillance and human-computer interaction. Various variations in routine human actions make the recognition process of action more difficult. In th...
Natural landscapes are crucial resources for enhancing visitor experiences in ecotourism destinations. Previous research indicates that high temperatures may impact tourists' perception of landscapes and emotions. Still, the potential value of natura...
IMPORTANCE: Built environment plays an important role in development of cardiovascular disease. Large scale, pragmatic evaluation of built environment has been limited owing to scarce data and inconsistent data quality.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Built environment plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Tools to evaluate the built environment using machine vision and informatic approaches have been limited. This study aimed to investigate the...
