Determination of the Simplified Daylight Glare Probability (DGPs) Criteria for Daylit Office Spaces in Thailand

Buildings, 2020
The increasing trend of employing glazed façades to utilize daylight in the buildings has made it necessary to develop measures to avoid excessive sunlight penetration in such daylit spaces. In Thailand, only a few studies have focused on daylight glare,

Early Bird Special: Quantifying Tiger Shark Predation on Albatross Fledglings at Kure Atoll. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Predators are often assumed to concentrate where prey are most abundant, but the most abundant prey may not be the easiest to catch. We studied tiger sharks hunting young albatross seabirds during an albatross fledging season at Kure Atoll, Hawaii. Surprisingly, sharks arrived and largely departed before fledgling numbers peaked and predation risk was ...
