Daylight availability in top-lit atria: prediction of skylight transmittance and daylight factor
Lighting Research and Technology, 2000 Atrium and skylight shapes are important architectural design elements that influence daylight availability within the space and, therefore, lighting energy consumption. There is a lack of prediction models for skylight transmittance. and daylight availability in atria. A new concept was developed to predict the diffuse transmittance of skylights.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Two pyridinium‐based ionic liquid templated hybrid manganese halides, (C4Py)2[MnCl4] and (C4Py)2[MnBr4], display similar bulk structures but show significantly different photoluminescence behaviors due to the bromine heavy‐atom effect. Their stable local Mn environments remain intact even in the molten state, allowing applications such as luminescence ...

Summertime and the drivin’ is easy? Daylight Saving Time and vehicle accidents. LEQS Paper No. 150/2019 December 2019 [PDF]
, 2019 Although it is commonly understood that light conditions affect driving behaviour, detailed evidence is scarce especially for EU countries. In this paper we use the exogenous variation in daylight caused by Daylight Saving Time (DST) shifts to examine ...
