description: Το αντικείμενο της μελέτης είναι παραποτάμια κεντρική περιοχή στη πόλη της Λάρισας. Πιο συγκεκριμένα μελετάται η σχέση πόλης - ποταμού και η αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ του υγρού στοιχείου και του αστικού ιστού. Προκειμένου να αναβαθμιστεί η επιλεγμένη περιοχή, μετακινείται ο σταθμός ΚΤΕΛ σε περιφερειακή ζώνη, και στη θέση του δημιουργείται Σχολή Καλών Τεχνών. Ο πολιτιστικός χαρακτήρας των γειτονικών χρήσεων σε συνδυασμό με τη Σχολή και τις συνοδευόμενες εγκαταστάσεις ανανεώνει το κέντρο της πόλης και επαναπροσδιορίζει τη σχέση με το φυσικό περιβάλλον. Η εργασία αναδεικνύει τη σημασία της αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ του αστικού και φυσικού περιβάλλοντος καθώς και της δημιουργικής αξίας που μπορεί να προκύψει από την ενοποίησή τους.
description: The subject of the study is a riverside central area in the city of Larissa. More specifically, it examines the relationship between the city and the river and the interaction between the water element and the urban fabric. To upgrade the selected area, the intercity bus station is relocated to a peripheral zone, and in its place, a School of Fine Arts is established. The cultural character of the neighboring uses, combined with the School and its accompanying facilities, renews the city center and redefines the relationship with the natural environment. The project highlights the importance of the interaction between the urban and natural environments and the creative value that can arise from their integration.
Willingness to communicate of Korean learners of English in an overseas L2 environment

description: Willingness to communicate (WTC) represents the tendency of an individual to initiate conversation when free to do so. In the past WTC has been examined in both a person's first language (L1) and second language (L2). Investigations found that different variables are in effect when a person is using their L1 and L2, and so these need to be investigated separately. This project examined L2 WTC of Korean learners’ of English in an ESL setting in Sydney. It was an approximate replication of studies carried out by Tomoko Yashima among a cohort of Japanese students studying English as an L2 in an EFL setting. Of particular interest to the current study was the relationship between the constructs International Posture and WTC, which was shown to be significant in the Yashima studies. The present study also investigated how a learner's attitudes and perceptions of the L2, while immersed in the L2 community, can change over time and result in a change in WTC and its underlying antecedents; this was a variable that was not included in Yashima’s studies. Yashima et al.’s (2004) research instrument was adapted to the present ESL context. A total of 117 Korean learners of English participated in the study. With the use of SPSS AMOS 21.0, a path model was adapted from Yashima et al. (2004), to test the causal relationships among the variables. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the learners’ attitudes across time. The results demonstrated that all relationships within the path model were significant, except the relationship between International Posture and L2 WTC. This result highlights that International Posture in predicting L2 WTC may not be as applicable in an ESL setting as it is in an EFL setting. A number of sociocultural factors may be at play that an EFL environment cannot account for. It was also shown that Intercultural Friendship Orientation, a variable associated with International Posture, showed higher scores for participants who had been in Australia a shorter time than a longer time. It was also shown that participants who had stayed longer in the L2 environment showed higher scores in Perceived Competence than shorter staying participants. Based on the findings, the significance of the study, its limitations, and suggestions for further research are laid out.

description: MCG-5-23-16 was targeted in early 2015 with a half mega-seconds observing campaign using NuSTAR. Here we present the spectral analysis of these datasets along with an earlier observation and study the relativistic reflection and the primary coronal source. The data show strong reflection features in the form of both narrow and broad iron lines plus a Compton reflection hump. A cutoff energy is significantly detected in all exposures. The shape of the reflection spectrum does not change in the two years spanned by the observations, suggesting a stable geometry. A strong positive correlation is found between the cutoff energy and both the hard X-ray flux and spectral index. The measurements imply that the coronal plasma is not at the runaway electron-positron pair limit, and instead contains mostly electrons. The observed variability in the coronal properties is driven by a variable optical depth. A constant heating to cooling ratio is measured implying that there is a feedback mechanism in which a significant fraction of the photons cooling the corona are due to reprocessed hard X-rays.

description: A high-modulation-efficiency optical modulator integrated on silicon (Si) is a key enabler for low-power and high-capacity optical interconnects. However, Si-based optical modulators suffer from low phase modulation efficiency owing to the weak plasma dispersion effect in Si. Therefore, it is essential to find a novel modulation scheme that is compatible with a Si photonics platform. Here, we demonstrate an InGaAsP/Si hybrid metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) optical modulator with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) formed by direct wafer bonding with an Al2O3 bonding interface. Electron accumulation at the InGaAsP MOS interface enables the extraction of the electron-induced refractive index change in InGaAsP, which is significantly greater than that in Si. The presented modulator exhibits a phase modulation efficiency of 0.047 Vcm, which is approximately 5 times higher than that of Si MOS optical modulators. This approach provides a new efficient scheme of phase modulation on a Si photonics platform for low-power, high-speed, and high-density optical links.

description: Donor conception has increasingly become an accepted method to conceive a child. Despite gaining popularity, little attention has been given to the long-term psychosocial implications of the clandestine practice. Previous research has relied on parent reports, young samples, or has other methodological limitations that restrict the generalisability of findings. This study established the effects of donor conception, secrecy and anonymity by surveying 72 donor-conceived adults (9 male, 53 female, 9 unspecified) online. The study first investigated the demographic characteristics of the sample, circumstances of disclosure, and relationships with parents. This study then investigated what motivated donor-conceived people to seek information about, and contact with, their donor. Finally, quality of life, identity, genealogical bewilderment, feelings towards donor conception, and feelings towards information and disclosure, were investigated, including how demographic characteristics, circumstances around disclosure, and relationships impacted each using a series of logistic regressions. The majority of donor-conceived people had sought information about their donor, while a smaller group had sought contact. The most common motivation for doing to was to obtain an accurate medical history. This was particularly important among those who had known of their conception longer. Meanwhile, having a positive relationship with the biological parent was associated with less genealogical bewilderment and positive feelings towards donor conception, while coming from anon-co-parented household was associated with feeling more positively towards disclosure and access to information. The study informs the direction of future research, which can extend the existing findings and increase reliability and generalisability, particularly among males, and persons born from egg and embryo donation. In addition, longitudinal research with donor-conceived people over the course of their lifespan will contribute to understanding the effects at various stages of development.

description: Eine gute Softwaredokumentation ist Grundlage für den Langzeiterfolg eines Softwaresystems. Änderungen an der Software ziehen unter Umständen Änderungen an der Dokumentation nach sich. Wird die Dokumentation nicht dementsprechend angepasst, kann es zu Inkonsistenzen bei der Benennung kommen. Trotz dieser Inkonsistenzen soll Rückverfolgbarkeit zwischen den Textelementen der Softwarearchitektur-Dokumentation (SAD) und den Modellelementen des Softwarearchitektur-Modells (SAM) gewährleistet werden. Statt einem direkten Vergleich zwischen den Bezeichnern der Textelemente und den Namen der Modellelemente, wird ein semantischer Vergleich auf Basis der Auflösung sprachlicher Mehrdeutigkeiten (WSD, Word Sense Disambiguation) durchgeführt. Mit dem WSD-Algorithmus Babelfy werden die Bedeutungen der Textelemente im Kontext der SAD in Form von Synsets bestimmt. Diese Synsets bilden Synonyme ab, die für das Erstellen von Verknüpfungen zwischen den Text- und Modellelementen verwendet werden. Unter Einbeziehung der Synonyme zum Erstellen der Verknüpfungen ist es möglich, Textelemente Modellelementen zuzuordnen, die semantisch dasselbe Element abbilden aber unterschiedlich benannt sind. Mit diesem Ansatz kann eine Verbesserung beim Erstellen von Verknüpfungen zwischen den Textelementen der SAD und den Modellelementen des SAM erzielt werden gegenüber einem Ansatz ohne Einbeziehung von Synonymen. Die Ausbeute kann beim Erstellen von Verknüpfungen um durchschnittlich 12 Prozentpunkte auf 53,1% erhöht werden, bei einer Präzision von 90,9%.

description: Kinetic-range turbulence in magnetized plasmas and, in particular, in the context of solar-wind turbulence has been extensively investigated over the past decades via numerical simulations. Among others, one of the widely adopted reduced plasma model is the so-called hybrid-kinetic model, where the ions are fully kinetic and the electrons are treated as a neutralizing (inertial or massless) fluid. Within the same model, different numerical methods and/or approaches to turbulence development have been employed. In the present work, we present a comparison between two-dimensional hybrid-kinetic simulations of plasma turbulence obtained with two complementary approaches spanning about two decades in wavenumber - from MHD inertial range to scales well below the ion gyroradius - with a state-of-the-art accuracy. One approach employs hybrid particle-in-cell (HPIC) simulations of freely-decaying Alfvénic turbulence, whereas the other consists of Eulerian hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell (HVM) simulations of turbulence continuously driven with partially-compressible large-scale fluctuations. Despite the completely different initialization and injection/drive at large scales, the same properties of turbulent fluctuations at $k_\perpρ_i\gtrsim1$ are observed. The system indeed self-consistently "reprocesses" the turbulent fluctuations while they are cascading towards smaller and smaller scales, in a way which actually depends on the plasma beta parameter. Small-scale turbulence has been found to be mainly populated by kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) fluctuations for $β\geq1$, whereas KAW fluctuations are only sub-dominant for low-$β$.

Samuel Marsden, blinkered visionary: a re-examination of his character and circumstances through the study of his sermons

description: Many people have written about the Rev Samuel Marsden, from old time hagiographers to modern day pottery experts and all those in between. There are those who, in writing any history of colonial New South Wales, have blindly accepted a negative legend developed by Marsden’s opponents. There are those who have written hagiography and those who have attempted a more balanced assessment. And yet there remains a gaping hole in the literature. None of Marsden’s opponents and none of his friends have had any significant interaction with the one activity Marsden himself declared to be his primary focus. Despite a large body of Marsden’s sermons available to us, there has been a surprising lack of study of and interaction with them. Through an examination of all these known sermons of Marsden this dissertation discusses what Marsden said in his own preaching about many of the controversial issues he faced. This discussion reveals some of the complexities of Marsden’s character. In various collections there are 135 sermons in all. There are 98 in the Moore College collection, 25 in the Family Collection and the remainder scattered in ones and twos in various libraries and archives in Australia and New Zealand. Polarisations that have led individuals to be avid supporters or decided enemies of Marsden have been far too simplistic. To some extent these faults may have been redressed if there had been more interaction with Marsden’s preaching. Where some scholars have made attempts at a more balanced study of Marsden even they have fallen at critical points and failed to understand him because they also have not interacted with his preaching. The things Marsden has said in his sermons give a deeper understanding of his personality and motivations than has previously been available to us. A study of his sermons alerts us to arguably the greatest influences on him, remedying some mistakes made by previous biographers. A study of his sermons opens to us a better understanding of his character and circumstances, allowing a more balanced understanding of the man so that we are not polarised to see him just as the ‘Flogging Parson’ or as the ‘Apostle to the Māori’. His preaching shows that he is both of these and much in between.

description: We study the thermal transport in two-dimensional systems with a nontrivial Berry curvature texture. The physical realizations are many: for a sake of definiteness we consider undoped graphene gapped by the presence of an aligned hexagonal-Boron-Nitride substrate. The same phenomenology applies, i.e., to surface states of 3D topological insulators in the presence of a uniform magnetization. We find that chiral valley-polarized second-sound collective modes propagate along the edges of the system. The localization length of the edge modes has topological origin stemming from the anomalous velocity term in the quasiparticle current. At low temperature, the single-particle contribution to the transverse thermal conductance is exponentially suppressed and only second-sound modes carry heat along the boundary. A sharp change in the behavior of the thermal Hall conductance, extracted from nonlocal measurements of the temperature along the edge, marks the onset of ballistic heat transport due to second-sound edge modes.

description: We present JWST NIRSpec observations in IFS mode of the galaxy GS5001 at redshift z=3.47, the central member of a candidate protocluster in the GOODS-S field. The data cover a field of view (FoV) of 4''$\times$4'' (~$30\times30$~kpc$^2$) and were obtained as part of the GA-NIFS GTO program. The observations include both high (R~2700) and low (R~100) spectral resolution data, spanning the rest-frame wavelength ranges 3700-6780A and 1300-11850A, respectively. We analyse the spatially resolved ionised gas kinematics and interstellar medium properties, including obscuration, gas metallicity, excitation, ionisation parameter, and electron density. In addition to the main galaxy (GS5001), the NIRSpec FoV covers three components in the south, with velocities blue-shifted by -150 km/s with respect to the main galaxy, and another source in the north redshifted by ~200 km/s. Optical line ratio diagnostics indicate star formation ionisation and electron densities of ~500 cm$^{-3}$ across all sources in the FoV. The gas-phase metallicity in the main galaxy is 12+log(O/H) $= 8.45\pm0.04$, and slightly lower in the companions (12+log(O/H)$ = 8.34-8.42$), consistent with the mass-metallicity relation at $z\sim3$. We find peculiar line ratios (high log [NII]/H$α$, low log [OIII]/H$β$) in the northern part of GS5001. These could be attributed to either higher metallicity, or to shocks resulting from the interaction of the main galaxy with the northern source. We identify a spatially resolved outflow in the main galaxy, with an extension of about 3 kpc. We find maximum outflow velocities of ~400 km/s, an outflow mass of $(1.7\pm0.4)\times 10^8$ M$_{\odot}$, a mass outflow rate of $23\pm5$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ and a mass loading factor of 0.23. These properties are compatible with star formation being the driver of the outflow.

Ideology / representation / text: the imagery of communism in Australian and English-Canadian literature
Creators: name: Gilman, Marvin
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is an exploration into the space of communist imagery as an integral component in the literatures of Australia and Canada from 1920-1990. The pervasiveness of Soviet socialist realism in the literatures of Australia and Canada has been an overlooked and unexplored area of critical analysis. As a formulation induced by the domination of Stalinists within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it sought to reaffirm the inauguration of a ‘New World’ based on the success of the October Revolution and the Civil War. It played a crucial role in the careers of writers affiliated to the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) or Canada (CPC), who were determined to introduce working-class issues and communist representation into their dramaturgy and fictionality. They incorporated the tropes of the communist, the Communist Party/union organiser, the peace activist, the scientific socialist and the martyr to the cause as the means through which they could communicate their political positions. The metonymies of communism permeated the descriptors of poets aligned to the CPA or CPC. This thesis demonstrates how these tropes and metonymies were inscribed in the textual practice of celebrated Australian and Canadian writers, in particular, Dorothy Hewett, Judah Waten, David Fennario and Dyson Carter. Their emulation of Soviet socialist realism and their adherence to its precepts of partinost, ideynost and narodnost generated their own unique hybrid, the subgenre of ‘New World’ social[ist] realism. There were three phases to communist writing, firstly, the Depression era dominated by the strike scenario and internal political conflict. The second phase of the post-World War II years found its vision in the ‘New World’ paradigm, which denied its colonial context and sought to replace it with the concept of a Future Soviet Australia or Canada. Nostalgia for ultraradicalism in the 1930s emerged as the overriding perception in the late phase of the 1980s. This thesis asserts that the ‘New World’ writing of Australia and Canada was disabled by the political conditions of its production, without the supports available to the Soviet model to advance it strategically.

It strives to deliver tools for analyzing the spread of aesthetic forms which are considered as a cultural transfer process.
Toponymy on the periphery: placenames of the Eastern Desert, Red Sea, and South Sinai in Egyptian documents from the Early Dynastic until the end of the New Kingdom

description: The study of placenames in Egyptology is generally confined to lexicographic collection and problems of localisation. More than filling in the blanks on a map, studies in toponymy can address many questions regarding the relationship between people and their environment.This thesis is an area-study of toponyms in the Eastern Desert, South Sinai, and Red Sea as found in Egyptian texts from the Early Dynastic until the end of the New Kingdom (c. 3100BC-1050 BCE). For the urban civilisation of pharaonic Egypt, these regions were arid hinterlands, exploited for their mineral wealth, but never directly colonised or controlled. Many placenames of this region, most notably Punt, have not been satisfactorily located - their finite geographical positions having long been a desideratum of Egyptology. An integrated approach that studies all the placenames of these regions may however yield greater insights into the regions geography, while matching specific archaeological remains with toponyms known from texts. As this region is proximal to Egypt, yet outside political control, it is notable for exhibiting placenames in both Egyptian and foreign languages. This might be compared to the situation in New World toponymy, where an introduced European stratum of placenames commonly replaces, but not eradicates, an older indigenous toponymy. The area thus reveals a multitude of toponymic phenomena and un-located placenames, yet is geographically homogenous and differentiated from the urban toponymy of the Nile Valley. This work comprises of two parts.The first is a descriptive section, reconstructing the historical geography of Egypt’s peripheral regions by marrying a database of toponyms with textual and archaeological sources. The second is an analytical investigation of the culture and language of placenames as apparent in these marginal regions. The database involves translating all texts where the relevant toponyms occur, analysing the etymology of these names (in Egyptian or foreign-languages) and locating them with respect to archaeological sites. The analytical section evaluates semantic and linguistic features in the placenames, and attempts to explain the social processes behind placenaming in Egypt’s marginal environment.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Mauve whole genome alignments of ten linearized C. difficile strains from four different PCR ribotypes. In this alignment process locally collinear blocks (LCBs) were generated. Boxes with identical colors represent LCB, indicating homologous DNA regions shared between the chromosomes without sequence rearrangement. Lines collate aligned segments between genomes. The vertical bars denote the conservation level, and upward and downward orientations relative to the genome line indicates collinear and inverted regions, respectively. The only non syntenic region of the genomes is indicated by the red box. Sequences outside colored blocks do not have homologues in the other genome. (DOCX 419 kb)
The Cummeragunja walk-off: a study of black/white politics and public discourse about race, ideology and place on the eve of the Second World War

description: In 1939 some 200 Aboriginal people walked off the Cummeragunja Station on the NSW-Victoria border in protest over decades of mistreatment and abuse at the hands of the NSW Protection bureaucracy. Aboriginal protest was not new by the late 1930s but the social and political landscape had significantly shifted. In particular the media was more receptive, the white supporters of the Aborigines had grown in numbers and the Aboriginal political presence had grown in size, range and force. Not only did the protesters take the novel approach of crossing the Murray River from NSW and camping on the other side, they developed considerable momentum, utilising the media to spread the word, and marshalled significant support from cross-sections of the community at large. Although the bureaucracy was successful in ending the protest, it was a pyrrhic victory and confronted them with a choice: they could either pursue the responses of old or adapt to maintain control in the new political landscape. By exploring these disparate forces, this thesis argues that the Cummeragunja walk-off was a particular kind of protest at a particular point in time. In the end it did not achieve what the protesters hoped it would. However, it helped to shift the Australian conscience on Indigenous issues and created a strong Indigenous legacy lasting to this day.
The effect of extracellular acidosis on tissue destruction in tuberculosis

description: Introduction Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection of macrophages causes the secretion of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) which degrade the lung extracellular matrix producing tissue destruction and morbidity. Proinflammatory cytokine secretion by macrophages, particularly TNF-α, is critical for M.tb killing and drives further MMP secretion by normal human bronchial epithelial cells (NHBEs). Activated macrophages release lactic acid which lowers extracellular tissue pH and raises lactate levels at sites of infection. Extracellular acidosis is detected by pH-sensing G-protein coupled receptors (TDAG-8, OGR-1 and GPR4). This study investigates how lesional extracellular lactic acidosis modulates TB immune responses. Methods RNA-seq was performed on primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) infected with M.tb H37Rv at pH 7.4 or in acidosis (pH 7.0). MDMs were infected with M.tb at varying pH and MMP and cytokine secretion measured by ELISA and intracellular signalling assessed by Western Blot. Acidosis receptor expression was measured by qPCR and Immunohistochemistry of TB lesions. NHBEs were stimulated with TB dependent cytokine networks at varying pH and MMP secretion and acidosis receptor expression assessed. Results RNA-seq identified key genes and pathways regulated by M.tb. Acidosis upregulated extracellular matrix degradation pathways due to increases in MMP expression. In vitro experiments confirmed acidosis increases MMP-1 and -3 from M.tb infected MDMs and decreases TNF-α. This was dependent upon TDAG-8 signalling, the most significantly expressed acidosis sensing GPCR in MDMs. TDAG-8 was highly expressed in granulomas from TB patients. Lactate acting intracellularly also increases MMP-1 secretion by MDMs in TB. NHBEs stimulated with TB dependent cytokine networks increase secretion of MMP-1 and -9 with acidosis, dependent upon OGR-1 signalling. Extracellular lactate further increases NHBE MMP-1 and -9 secretion. Discussion Extracellular acidosis amplifies MMP secretion in TB favouring tissue destruction, whilst decreasing key cytokines that control infection. Acidosis receptors therefore represent novel targets for host directed therapy in Tuberculosis.

description: Extensible quantum computing architectures require a large array of quantum devices operating with low error rates. A quantum processor based on superconducting quantum bits can be scaled up by stacking microchips that each perform different computational functions. In this article, we experimentally demonstrate a thermocompression bonding technology that utilizes indium films as a welding agent to attach pairs of lithographically-patterned chips. We perform chip-to-chip indium bonding in vacuum at $190^{\circ}C$ with indium film thicknesses of $150 nm$. We characterize the dc and microwave performance of bonded devices at room and cryogenic temperatures. At $10 mK$, we find a dc bond resistance of $515 nΩmm^2$. Additionally, we show minimal microwave reflections and good transmission up to $6.8 GHz$ in a tunnel-capped, bonded device as compared to a similar uncapped device. As a proof of concept, we fabricate and measure a set of tunnel-capped superconducting resonators, demonstrating that our bonding technology can be used in quantum computing applications.

Hydrological and energy performance of multifunctional green roofs
Creators: name: Liu, Xi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Green roofs are a classic example of multifunctional, sustainable urban drainage systems, which have the potential to retain stormwater on the roof's surface and lower a building's energy consumption. To maximise storm water management benefits, an increasing number of modular green roof systems have begun incorporating a drainage and water storage layer into their design. The main aim of this PhD study is to quantitatively evaluate the hydrological and thermal benefits of modular green roofs by conducting experiments and developing a water and energy balance model. During the first phase, three full-scale experimental green roofs were installed on a student residence building in London, UK. The two extensive systems are composed of a shallow substrate covered by drought-tolerant plants. For the latter, a drainage layer with water storage capacity and a wicking mat was implemented. A third, low-maintenance, intensive system was designed with large water storage cells and a wicking mat to improve water availability. The results of 18 months of data demonstrated that the drainage layer with water storage capacity improved both the hydrological and energy performance of the extensive green roof. The intensive green roof outperformed both extensive green roofs in terms of retaining and delaying runoff and regulating roof surface temperature. In the second phase, a one-dimensional water and energy balance green roof model was developed to predict runoff from green roofs, model soil moisture changes within the substrate layer and simulate temperatures of foliage and the substrate surface. In comparison to the experimental results, the proposed model exhibited good ability to represent the water and heat dynamics in the modular green roof systems. Future work that evaluates the developed green roof model over a broader range of rainfall events and documents comparisons of green roof performances with conventional roofs is needed.
