Review of simulating four classes of window materials for daylighting with non-standard BSDF using the simulation program Radiance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This review describes the currently available simulation models for window material to calculate daylighting with the program "Radiance". The review is based on four abstract and general classes of window materials, depending on their scattering and ...

Photothermal Macroporous Lignin Cryogels for Off‐Grid, Continuous Atmospheric Water Collection via Interlayer Heat Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photothermal, macroporous lignin‐based cryogels are engineered to convert sunlight into low‐grade heat. Integrated as stacked beds in a drum‐type device, a thin copper interlayer transfers waste heat between beds, enabling interlayer heat recovery and continuous solar cycling.

Laser‐Microscribed Glass Enables Surface‐Microfluidics‐Facilitated, Affordable, Rapid Cancer Diagnosis

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A transparent, laser‐microscribed glass platform enables cancer diagnosis within 1 h—much faster than histology, which takes days, and free from the chemical or contrast risks of MRI or CT scans. The antibody‐functionalized rough glass surface captures viable cancer cells directly from suspension, allowing instant optical readout and offering a rapid ...

Unraveling Quantitative Sensing Mechanism and Predictive Molecular Metrics for High‐Performance OFET Amine Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel chloro boron subphthalocyanine/polymer blend OFET sensor achieving 0.005 ppb limit of detection for ammonia at room temperature and high selectivity against similar amines. An original theoretical framework is proposed to describe the sensing mechanism, relating analyte molecular volume and Lewis basicity to sensor ...

Daylight Measurement Data required for Daylighting Calculation.

open access: yesJournal of Light & Visual Environment, 1991
Why should we collect daylight measurement data? One of the most important purpose of the collection is to use for daylighting calculation. The calculation can be classified to two, (A) for the research and (B) for the practical application. Since it is difficult to predict at present time what kind of research we do in future and to specify a class of

Daylighting rule of thumb and typology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Rule of thumb in daylighting has been responsible for generating typologies of building forms and elements. However, not all of these typologies perform well in daylighting.
