Improving sleep on the inpatient general, non‐stroke neurology service: A quasi‐experimental interventional trial

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hospitalized patients often experience poor sleep, which is associated with worse health outcomes, increased rates of delirium, and readmissions. Objective To improve overnight sleep for clinically stable general neurology patients at a single academic center.

Simulation-Based Evaluation of the Impact of an Electrochromic Glazing on the Energy Use and Indoor Comfort of an Office Room

Energies
Electrochromic glazing alters its optical properties in the absence/presence of an electrical charge, varying from clear to dark to control daylighting and solar heat gains. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an electrochromic glazing, with indoor

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Predicting daylight autonomy metrics using machine learning [PDF]

, 2017
This study analyses the efficacy of using machine learning though artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict daylight autonomy metrics in typical office spaces. Based on a literature review of the use of ANN for non-linear problems, the chosen approach was deemed promising for its use in predicting daylight performance with the assumption that ...

Insect‐resistant soybean genotypes accumulate rutin and its O‐methylated derivative narcissin, a more potent flavonol targeting Anticarsia gemmatalis digestive and detoxification enzymes and reducing larval survival

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

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.

Dermatologic Best Practices for Manicures and Nail Care: A Systematic Review

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Manicure and pedicure procedures are widely viewed as benign cosmetic practices, yet emerging evidence links them to various dermatologic complications, including dermatitis, infection, photodamage and, in rare cases, cutaneous malignancy.

Comparing autumn duck use of intensely managed wetlands in Michigan using a novel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Camera traps, a relatively novel method for assessing waterfowl use of wetlands, show ducks in southeastern Michigan are influenced by hunting disturbance, vegetation type, season progression, and diel period. Abstract Socioeconomic value derived from duck hunting has contributed to autumn habitat use becoming a particular focus for the natural ...

A lightweight clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video system for monitoring fish in turbid coastal wetlands

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video systems (CLOC‐BRUV) are an effective option for assessing fish assemblages in turbid water, but current designs are limited by their large size and high operational costs. We developed a lightweight CLOC‐BRUV unit and evaluated its performance through proof‐of‐concept trials and field

Optimising the scheduled operation of window blinds to enhance occupant comfort [PDF]

, 2015
Artificial lighting can increase a energy consumption. On the other hand, the availability of daylight in occupied spaces can reduce energy consumption while positively contributing to occupant wellbeing. However, daylight entering the space through
