Effects of reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations on physiology and fluorescence of hermatypic corals and benthic algae. [PDF]
, 2014 While shifts from coral to seaweed dominance have become increasingly common on coral reefs and factors triggering these shifts successively identified, the primary mechanisms involved in coral-algae interactions remain unclear. Amongst various potential

Gender differences in Everyday Risk Taking: An Observational Study of Pedestrians in Newcastle upon Tyne [PDF]
, 2018 Evolutionary psychologists have put forward that there are evolved differences in risk taking between men and women. Potentially, these also play out in every day behaviours, such as in traffic.

Daylighting in classrooms - the daylight factor as a performance criterion
, 2014 Recent research has shown that environmental conditions in classrooms, and namely daylighting conditions, can influence students health, well-being and performance. In the last years several studies, dealing with the effects of environmental conditions in classrooms in the learning process, have been published (Winterbottom, & Wilkins, 2009; Barret ...

Daylighting Evaluation of Perforated Screen Façade with Light Shelf in the Tropics
Dimensi: Journal of Architecture and Built EnvironmentThe use of large glass facades in buildings without external shading devices leads to a high daylight level, uneven daylight distribution, and glare. A perforated screen facade (PSF) is one of the shading systems that can provide daylight and view and ...

THE EFFECT OF OPENING DISTRIBUTION AREA MODIFICATION ON HORIZONTAL LIGHT PIPE DAYLIGHT PERFORMANCE
Dimensi: Journal of Architecture and Built Environment, 2021 A deep-plan office building design limits daylight access on the workspace distant from the side window. Horizontal Light Pipe (HLP) is one of the light transport systems that can deliver daylight to these areas.

The effectiveness of dayligting through the toplighting design in large-volume building models
ARTEKS : Jurnal Teknik Arsitektur, 2021 The utilization of daylighting as an effort to reduce the usage of building energy needs to be optimized. This is because, low-rise buildings with large volumes require specific strategies for proper light distribution throughout the space.
