Should Danish building regulations legalise basement dwellings? – Consequences for daylight and view out investigated through case studies [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Densification of cities is ongoing for sustainability purposes, but it has consequences for daylight availability in dwellings and the view out. Despite 'comparable conditions', national daylight and view-out regulations differ between Nordic countries ...

Optimizing Daylight and Occupant Comfort: A Simulation-Based Analysis of Building Performance in Famagusta, Cyprus

Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA
Although much literature has examined daylighting and energy performance, few studies combine daylight, thermal comfort and occupant-centred performance under a single simulation-based framework for Mediterranean environments.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

Hybrid-model simulations to equilibrate the energy demand and daylight autonomy as a function of window-to-wall ratio and orientation for a perimeter office in Izmir

MEGARON / Yıldız Technical University, Faculty of Architecture E-Journal, 2020
This study is based on integrated thermal-lighting simulations to find the optimal value of the window-to-wall ratio (WWR) for a perimeter, single-zone office to equilibrate daylight autonomy and overall energy demand in the climate of Izmir, Turkey. A hybrid model approach has been adopted that combines thermal and lighting calculations in a single ...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction Unravels the Potential Molecular Link Between Night Shift Work‐Related Circadian Disruption and Elevated Blood Pressure in Human and Mouse Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This diagram illustrates that night shift work disrupts circadian clock genes (like CLOCK, BMAL1) in both humans and mice. This disruption leads to mitochondrial dysfunction (imbalanced fusion/fission proteins) and increased oxidative stress, which is identified as the primary mechanism ultimately causing elevated blood pressure.
