The Value of Darkness: A Moral Framework for Urban Nighttime Lighting
Science and Engineering Ethics, 2017 The adverse effects of artificial nighttime lighting, known as light pollution, are emerging as an important environmental issue. To address these effects, current scientific research focuses mainly on identifying what is bad or undesirable about certain

The Eye Pupil’s Response to Static and Dynamic Illusions of Luminosity and Darkness
i-Perception, 2017 Pupil diameters were recorded with an eye-tracker while participants observed cruciform patterns of gray-scale gradients that evoked illusions of enhanced brightness (glare) or of enhanced darkness. The illusions were either presented as static images or

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2017 Recently it was shown that dark matter with mass of order the weak scale can be charged under a new long-range force, decoupled from the Standard Model, with only weak constraints from early Universe cosmology. Here we consider the implications of an additional charged particle $C$ that is light enough to lead to significant dissipative dynamics on ...

New Phytologist, 2017 Summary Stomata respond to darkness by closing to prevent excessive water loss during the night. Although the reorganisation of actin filaments during stomatal closure is documented, the underlying mechanisms responsible for dark‐induced cytoskeletal ...

Influence of Lighting and Laser Irradiation on the Germination of Caper Seeds
Agriculture, 2022 Caper seeds present difficulties in their germination, which has been studied by several research teams. It is known that light can release dormancy in some seeds, but its effect on caper seed germination has not yet been deeply studied.

DARK MATTER, AND ITS DARKNESS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2006 Assuming the validity of the general relativistic description of gravitation on astrophysical and cosmological length scales, we analytically infer that the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker cosmology with Einsteinian cosmological constant, and a vanishing spatial curvature constant, unambiguously requires a significant amount of dark matter.
