Analysis of brain activity during local hot-cold stimulus using near-infrared spectroscopy (Analysis of brain activity during pain stimulus by cold stimulus)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Methods such as the Predicted Mean Vote and Standard New Effective Temperature were developed to evaluate thermal comfort. However, radiation and convection of heat due to factors such as sunlight or air cycle are strong in indoor environments. Moreover,

From CSR Claims to Legitimacy Gaps: Abductive Topic Modeling of Fashion Communication Across the Fashion Supply Chain

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fiber‐Textile‐Apparel‐Retail (FTAR) firms communicate their fashion corporate social responsibility (fCSR) efforts to stakeholders to obtain operational legitimacy. However, little is known about the extent to which fCSR disclosures align with stakeholder expectations and sustainability principles.

Fluorescent Colored Passive Radiative Cooling Based on Carbon Dots for Cooling Power Recovery

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
We demonstrate colored passive radiative coolers consisting of a highly reflective porous ceramic base covered by an eco‐friendly luminescent carbon dot‐polymer composite, with two types of carbon dots enabling conversion of either ultraviolet or visible light, respectively.

Bio‐Inspired Sclerotization of Lignin: A Robust Adhesive for Photothermal Wood‐Based Panels

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A high‐performance lignin adhesive is engineered via an insect‐inspired sclerotization strategy involving oxidation and hyperbranched polymer grafting, overcoming lignin's adhesion failure, and yielding a wet shear strength of 1.02–1.21 MPa. The adhesive endows wood‐based panels with photothermal functionality; building energy simulations indicate HVAC‐

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.
