Can daylight-PDT be performed indoor? [PDF]
Natural DayLight-mediated PhotoDynamic Therapy (NDL-PDT) is an efficacious treatment option for thin actinic keratosis that offers advantages over conventional PDT in terms of tolerability and cost. It is now accepted that the minimum criteria required for effective NDL-PDT is a dose of 4 J/cm² with a treatment time of 2 hours and a minimum temperature

Daylighting performance of three-dimensional textiles [PDF]
Abstract The pattern and permeability characteristics that compose three-dimensional (3D) textiles are important as a textile shading component to the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Moreover, due to their complex geometry, 3D fabrics require a detailed modeling for correct evaluation of performance.

Potential annual daylighting performance of a high-efficiency daylight redirecting slat system [PDF]
While the primary role of window attachments is often to moderate glare and solar heat gains, they are also able to provide additional daylight to interior spaces. For this purpose, a variety of daylight-redirecting window systems have been developed over the past 150 years.
