Identification of Clear-sky Conditions with the Direct Clearness Index

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract The direct clearness index (DrCI), defined as the ratio of direct solar irradiance (R d ) to extraterrestrial irradiance (R a ), is proposed as an effective indicator for identifying clear-sky or cloud-free conditions.

Sky‐Directional Radiative Cooling Meta‐Films for Daylighting Windows

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A geometry‐mediated microprism meta‐film enables transparent, sky‐directional radiative cooling for daylighting windows. By decoupling control of visible transmittance from mid‐infrared emissivity, ground‐emitted heat absorption is suppressed while skyward heat dissipation is enhanced.

Patterned ELR‐Gelatin Hydrogels Enable Rapid Endothelial Monolayer Formation via Bioactive Matrix Chemistry and Surface Topography

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nano‐patterned elastin‐like recombinamer (ELR) hydrogels integrate bioactive matrix chemistry with defined surface topography. The combined cues promote rapid endothelial cell capture, alignment, and monolayer formation on soft substrates.

Boundary-Layer Meteorology / A method to identify synoptically undisturbed, clear-sky conditions for valley-wind analysis [PDF]

, 2019
"Valley-wind days" are characterized by synoptically undisturbed, clear-sky conditions, which lead to the formation of thermally-driven slope- and valley-wind circulations in mountain regions.

Evidence for Itinerant Ferromagnetic Flat Bands Producing Large Transverse Responses

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Itinerant ferromagnetic flat bands are demonstrated in GdCo5 with a high Curie temperature of 940K, a stacked honeycomb–kagome lattice, through angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy and magneto‐thermoelectric measurements. These topological flat bands generate large Berry curvaturte, producing gigantic anomalous Nernst effect with record‐high ...
