Response mechanisms between daylighting performance and skylight design variables in underground public spaces

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
Effective daylighting is crucial for underground public space sustainable development. However, existing studies focus on isolated design factors and conventional metrics, failing to holistically prevent both insufficient and excessive daylighting.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Sustainable Daylighting Design in Southern European Regions

, 2013
Traditional daylighting approaches and the metrics used for their quantification (such as the daylight factor), have limitations that do not take into account the dynamic characteristics of daylight and in particular its energy-related effects and the ...

Influence of the growing area on cone yield and alpha and beta acid content in Cascade hops: An Italian case study

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Territorial food production is a well‐known quality trait, which is attracting new customer preferences for different agricultural products. In this context, many microbreweries and agricultural breweries started to cultivate their own small hopyard to exploit the so‐called “terroir” effect.

Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Gradient‐Structured Polymer Fiber Mats for Broadly Tunable Multicolor and White Lasing

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Hierarchically engineered electrospun fiber mats containing separated red, green, and blue dyes enable highly tunable multicolor and white random lasing. Spatially controlled dye distribution suppresses energy transfer, allowing precise color adjustment across wide color gamuts and accurate reproduction of daylight white standards.

Integrating vision, audition and olfaction traits: a roadmap for contrasting sensory ecologies of birds and rodents

Oikos, EarlyView.
Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Evaluation of Polyolefin Encapsulants for Roll‐to‐Roll Lamination Applications

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Polyolefin encapsulants, PO1 and PO3, show best compatibility with R2R lamination, balancing flow, thermal properties and aging resistance. ABSTRACT Mass Customization (MC) in photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing enables the production of diverse, cost‐effective integrated PV products through the use of semi‐fabricates.
