Changes in Urban Green Spaces in the Pearl River Delta Urban Agglomeration: From the Perspectives of the Area, Spatial Configuration, and Quality by Tianci Yao, Shengfa Li, Lixin Su, Hongou Zhang

“…Results showed the UGS area in both the old urban districts and expanded urban areas across all nine cities in the PRDUA has experienced a dramatic reduction from 1985 to 2021, primarily due to the conversion of cropland and forest into impervious surfaces. Spatially, the fragmentation trend of UGSs initially increased and then weakened around 2010 in nine cities, but with an inconsistent fragmentation process across different urban areas. …”

A Numerical Investigation of Enhanced Microfluidic Immunoassay by Multiple-Frequency Alternating-Current Electrothermal Convection by Qisheng Wu, Shaohua Huang, Shenghai Wang, Xiying Zhou, Yuxuan Shi, Xiwei Zhou, Xianwu Gong, Ye Tao, Weiyu Liu

“…Under the approximation of a small temperature rise, a linear model describing the phenomenon of MET is derived. Although the time-averaged electrothermal volume force is a simple superposition of the electrostatic body force components at the two frequencies, the electro-thermal-flow field undergoes strong mutual coupling through the dual-component time-averaged Joule heat source term, further enhancing the intensity of Maxwell–Wagner smeared structural polarization and leading to mutual influence between the standing-wave electrothermal (SWET) and traveling-wave electrothermal (TWET) effects. …”
