Diagonally arranged louvers in integrated facade systems - effects on the interior lighting environment

Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2015
Building facades play an important role in creating the urban landscape and they can be used effectively to reduce energy usage and environmental impacts, while also incorporating structural seismic-resistant elements in the building perimeter zone.

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.

Evaluating of daylighting in selected office room: Case of Study

Selected Scientific Papers: Journal of Civil Engineering, 2019
On average, we spend 90% of our time indoor particularly at work and a healthy work space is essential to that feeling of wellbeing. In a typical building, lighting accounts for up to 40% of energy consumption.

Chromatin Topology Reconfiguration Orchestrates Thermotolerant Male Fertility via GhAL5 in Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates cotton’s high‐temperature (HT) response using multi‑omics. Dynamic 3D genome changes drive expression bias affecting male fertility. The tolerant line shows controlled chromatin dynamics, while the sensitive line exhibits overactivation.

Electrochemiluminescence Drives Photodynamic Therapy In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL)‐driven photodynamic therapy (PDT) for in vivo cancer treatment is reported for the first time. The flexible ECL patch exhibits stable and intense luminance under alternating current voltage, enabling efficient photosensitization to generate reactive oxygen species that damage cancer cells, thus leading to significant ...

The Sun's position in the sky

, 2013
We express the position of the Sun in the sky as a function of time and the observer's geographic coordinates. Our method is based on applying rotation matrices to vectors describing points on the celestial sphere.
