Daylight Glare with the Sun in the Field of View: An Evaluation of the Daylight Glare Metric Through a Laboratory Study Under an Artificial Sky Dome and an Extensive Simulation Study

Buildings
The Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) includes the luminance of a glare source quadratically, but the solid angle only linearly. While this is in line with formulae of other glare metrics, it must be questioned for small glare sources, if the glare ...

Dynamic Loading Regulates Meniscus‐Like Matrix Production in Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cell‐Seeded PET Scaffolds

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Dynamic compression enhances mesenchymal stromal cell proliferation in nonwoven PET scaffolds under chondrogenic differentiation conditions and triggers mechanosensitive transcriptional programs associated with extracellular matrix remodeling. These findings highlight the potential of mechanically stimulated PET scaffolds as a promising platform for ...

Adaptive Polarizing Suppression of Sea Surface Glare Based on the Geographic Polarization Suppression Model

Applied Sciences
As a strong interference source for the all-time optical imaging surveillance of maritime targets, sea surface glare is difficult to mitigate accurately because of its time-varying characteristics due to lighting conditions and seawater fluctuations.

Multi‐Biomimetic Structural Colors Inspired by Pearls and Bird Feathers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐biomimetic strategy mimicking pearls and bird feathers is proposed to construct full‐gamut structural colors. By integrating a non‐strictly periodic inorganic multilayer architecture with tunable light absorbers, this facile approach circumvents the complex fabrication of traditional 1D photonic crystals, offering immense potential for cosmetics,

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,

A study on disability glare vision in young adult subjects

Scientific Reports, 2023
The full assessment of the visual system must include the evaluation of the optical quality of the eye and neural visual functions. The objective evaluation of the retinal image quality is often carried out by computing the point spread function (PSF) of

Measuring Chitinase and Protease Activity in Cultures of Fungal Entomopathogens

, 2016
Entomopathogenic fungi produce a variety of destructive enzymes and metabolites to overcome the unique defense mechanisms of insects. In a first step, fungal chitinases and proteinases need to break down the insect’s cuticle.
