Urban roadside greenery as a carbon sink: Systematic assessment considering understory shrubs and soil respiration.

Roadside greenery is an efficient strategy for maximizing ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration in urban settings. However, the quantification of carbon sequestration is not comprehensive because understory shrubs and soil respiration have not been thoroughly considered. We developed an integrated methodology that combined field measurements and greenhouse incubation to comprehensively assess carbon sequestration in roadside greenery systems.

CCA: Cost-Capacity-Aware Caching for In-Memory Data Analytics Frameworks.

To process data from IoTs and wearable devices, analysis tasks are often offloaded to the cloud. As the amount of sensing data ever increases, optimizing the data analytics frameworks is critical to the performance of processing sensed data. A key approach to speed up the performance of data analytics frameworks in the cloud is caching intermediate data, which is used repeatedly in iterative computations.
