Diagnosis of Coronal Mass Ejections through Local and Global Dimmings
The Astrophysical JournalCoronal dimmings are localized sharp reductions in soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission at the early expansion phase of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Such local dimmings have global responses, known as Sun-as-a-star or global dimmings. Here,

Impact of high-resolution matrix backlight on local-dimming performance and its characterization
Journal of Information Display, 2019 In this paper, the general aspects of backlight unit design are considered as a whole. A new key parameter for BLU design, the FWHM to pitch ratio, is introduced and a reasonable value will be proposed.

Light in airport interior design, considering its pollution effects on ecosystems [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2020 "When we add light to the environment, that has the potential to disrupt habitat, just like running a bulldozer over the landscape can." Scientific evidence suggests that artificial light at night has adverse and deadly effects on many creatures ...

Adjusting the Lights: Prohibition Was Not Flipped On and Off Like a Switch
Essays in Economic and Business History, 2022 Prohibition (1920-1933) in the United States is generally viewed as a period with a defined beginning and end. When one factors state and local bans into the discussion, however, the issue is much more complicated.

PEARLS: Low Stellar Density Galaxies in the El Gordo Cluster Observed with JWST
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 A full understanding of how unusually large ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) fit into our conventional theory of galaxy formation remains elusive, despite the large number of objects identified locally.
