Journal of Green Building, 2016 ABSTRACT This paper investigates the main characteristics of daylight on any window in a street canyon. The sky component and the light reflected from the surroundings are described to determine the vertical daylight factor (VDF). Several street canyon types are characterized taking into account their different height/width and any level of the

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A bidirectionally thermochromic nanocolloid system is developed for facility agriculture. The bidirectional and wide‐temperature response dynamically modulates light radiation, stabilizing the indoor climate, improving supplemental lighting efficiency, and accelerating plant photosynthesis.

Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by

Post‐Translational Modifications in Animal Circadian Clocks
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Circadian clocks coordinate physiology with daily environmental cycles through conserved transcriptional–translational feedback loops. This review summarizes how post‐translational modifications fine‐tune clock function, highlights the evolutionary convergence of circadian timekeeping in Drosophila and mammals, and emphasizes the central of these ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates a dual‐functional porphyrin‐based passivation molecule, [12]‐C‐4POR, capable of simultaneously coordinating Pb2+ and Li+ ions through its porphyrin core and crown ether moiety, respectively. This molecule effectively reduces trap‐state density, suppresses non‐radiative recombination, and mitigates Li+ migration at the perovskite/

Trends in office internal gains and the impact on space heating and cooling demands [PDF]
, 2011 Internal gains from occupants, equipment and lighting contribute a significant proportion of the heat gains in an office space. Looking at trends in Generation-Y, it appears there are two diverging paths for future ICT demand: one where energy demand is ...
