Severe urban heat,a prevalent climate change consequence,endangers city residents ***-based mitigation strategies are commonly employed to address this ***,the Middle East and North Africa are under investigated in terms of heat mitigation,despite being one of the regions most vulnerable to climate *** study assesses the feasibility and climatic implications of wide-scale implementation of green infrastructure(GI)for heat mitigation in Riyadh,Saudi Arabia—a representative desert city characterized by low vegetation coverage,severe summer heat,and *** research forecasting model(WRF)is used to simulate GI cooling measures in Riyadh’s summer condition,including measures of increasing vegetation coverage up to 60%,considering irrigation and vegetation types(tall/short).In Riyadh,without irrigation,increasing GI fails to cool the city and can even lead to warming(0.1 to 0.3℃).Despite irrigation,Riyadh’s overall GI cooling effect is 50% lower than GI cooling expectations based on literature meta-analyses,in terms of average peak hour temperature *** study highlights that increased irrigation substantially raises the rate of direct soil evaporation,reducing the proportion of irrigation water used for transpiration and thus diminishing ***,water resource management must be tailored to these specific considerations.

AIM： To assess central corneal thickness （CCT） changes measured with Scheimpflug device following instillation of 2% fluorescein in normal subjects. ~ METHODS： This was a prospective randomized study of 60 hospital volunteers. After baseline CCT measurements of both eyes of 40 subjects were obtained using Scheimpflug system, a drop of preservative-free 2% fluorescein, was instilled in one eye and in other eye, one drop of normal saline （control）. Measurements were repeated after 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60min （continuous assessment group）. Twenty subjects had baseline CCT taken, then fluorescein was instilled in one eye and measurements were taken at lmin. Ten eyes had saline rinse after lmin and 10 other eyes did not, measurements were repeated at 2min （eye rinse group）. RESULTS： The mean baseline CCT for continuous assessment group was 546.2±32.1um （range, 489.0-606.0）, control eyes was 546.6~±30.7 um （range, 489.0-602.0）. At lmin after fluorescein instillation, CCT significantly increased by 37.0±34.0um （P〈0.001）, then decreased gradually, reaching baseline at 60min. CCT variations were not significant in control group （P〉0.05）. For eye rinse group, CCT mean differences between baseline and 2min were 18.2um （95 % Ch -54.7 to 18.3） with rinse and 26.5um （95% CI： -62.9 to 9.9） without rinse; paired sample tests were not significant （P〉0.05）. CONCLUSION： The presence of fluorescein increased CCT value to a clinically relevant level of 6.8%. Eye rinse did not significantly reduce the effect at 2min post fluorescein timepoint.
