BackgroundUrban heat island (UHI) is an urban climate phenomenon that primarily responds to urban conditions and land use change. The extent of hard surfaces significantly influences the thermal properties of the land. To address this issue, a novel approach quantifying the association between land ...
In this study, the side effects of high-reflective and ordinary retroreflective materials, used as countermeasures to urban heat islands, are discussed. In addition, two retroreflective materials are proposed in order to avoid these adverse effects. These materials could be applied to roads and bui...

While Cuba is home to impressive marine life, colorful birds, and eccentric mammals, reptiles also inhabit the waters and lands of the island. Snakes are common to Cuba, and several species can be found there. One of the best-known snakes of Cuba is the Cuban boa, the largest species in...
Ranchers grew in popularity during the 1950s as huge tracts of land turned into suburbs, with larger plots than the typical urban plots. This type of house has plenty of open outdoor spaces, given that they require larger-than normal lots. Read ourranch vs. two-story houses comparison here...
Future studies would benefit from consideration of the location of sampled animals because studies have shown that wildlife from urban environments are more likely to shed Salmonella than wildlife located in more remote lo- cations [51–53]. Similarly, environmental contamination on-farm also has the...
