Investigating the Relationship Between Subjective Assessments and Spatial Daylight Autonomy in Offices

Available daylight provision metrics are based on climatic data to assess temporal and spatial daylight availability indoors. The current targets used to benchmark a room’s daylight performance are related to the visual perception of office workers. This study aimed to examine the relationship of illuminance and spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) with ...

The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

Integrating Acoustic Comfort and Daylighting in Transparent Multi-Purpose Halls: A Simulation-Based Holistic Approach

Journal of Daylighting
Multi-purpose halls are halls where many different activities, such as music, theater, speech, and shows, can be performed in the same space. Recently, multi-purpose halls illuminated with daylight have been frequently seen.

Passive acoustic monitoring with AI‐based detection and identification reveal sooty grouse hooting patterns in western Oregon

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many bird species are monitored using auditory point count surveys during the breeding season. Autonomous recording units (ARUs) can be used to better understand the daily and seasonal timing of when a species is vocalizing, which can help align surveys with the time period when the maximum number of individuals are present. We used ARUs to improve our

Assessment of the Entropy of Spatial and Time Distributions of Rooms Daylighting: a Possible Tool for a Sustainable Design

Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2015
The indoor visual comfort of subjects faced with indoor ambient lighting varies with the position of the subject and is not constant over time. Average performance indexes, such as the mean value of Daylight Factor and Daylight Autonomy, are commonly ...

Serendipitous ritualization: dynamics of lay connectivity in Chinese Buddhist temples and beyond Ritualisation fortuite : dynamique de la connectivité des laïques dans les temples bouddhistes chinois et au‐delà

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article contributes to rethinking the dichotomy between informal sociality and ritual formality by examining the occasional ritual encounters surrounding spirit‐tablet inscription in Chinese Buddhist temples. Rather than viewing rituals as enactments of established orders, it presents ritual engagement as a contingent process of relational ...

Secularism, Gender and Masculinity in Nineteenth‐Century Cremation in Europe and the USA

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay explores, from transnational perspectives, the early history of modern cremation, which developed in the long nineteenth century with secularist connotations. I argue that the beginnings of modern cremation were shaped by bourgeois men who claimed certain identifiers for themselves in a gendering and Othering way.

Simulating the thermal and daylight performances of a folded porous double façade for an office building in Cairo [PDF]

, 2015
The application of Double Skin Facades (DSFs) in climates is limited and their potential benefits are still under investigation. Moreover, daylight and thermal performances of the double façade are rarely studied together.

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.
