, 2014 This thesis investigates the design of atria for daylighting in large scale buildings. Athree dimensional test building with a central atrium was constructed and various parameters of the atrium altered. The impact of these changes was studied through computer simulations of annual daylight distribution by implementing state of theart software ...

Available daylight provision metrics are based on climatic data to assess temporal and spatial daylight availability indoors. The current targets used to benchmark a room’s daylight performance are related to the visual perception of office workers. This study aimed to examine the relationship of illuminance and spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) with ...

Objective sleep parameters and diurnal blood pressure in concurrent hypertension and type 2 diabetes
Sleep Research, EarlyView.Abstract Background Hypertension is a primary cardiovascular complication in type 2 diabetes associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is essential for capturing circadian BP variation, which is closely influenced by sleep. Methods Twenty patients (63.75 ± 4.44 years old, 40% female, duration of T2D:

Small, EarlyView.Heating and cooling energy demand account for nearly half of the global energy consumption. SH and RC offer sustainable, zero‐energy strategies, but single‐mode devices lack adaptability. 3D dual‐mode devices, exploiting axial, flipping, and bending deformations, provide reversible switching with dynamic or passive control, representing a promising ...

Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea (2024)
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder characterized by abnormal breathing during sleeping. OSA can damage various organs throughout the body and is burdensome, both socially and economically. Moreover, as OSA has been increasingly studied in recent years, new evidence‐based guidelines for its diagnosis and surgical ...
