A tangible interface for collaborative urban design for energy efficiency, daylighting, and walkability [PDF]

, 2015
An increasingly urbanizing human population presents new challenges for urban planners and designers. While the applicability of urban design tools for simulation experts is constantly improving, urban development scenarios require the input of multiple

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

Visual art inspired by the collective feeding behavior of sand-bubbler crabs

, 2018
Sand--bubblers are crabs of the genera Dotilla and Scopimera which are known to produce remarkable patterns and structures at tropical beaches. From these pattern-making abilities, we may draw inspiration for digital visual art.

Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Research on the Optimization Design of the Atrium Space Form in University Libraries Based on the Coupling of Daylighting and Energy Consumption

Buildings
The atrium, as the core space of modern university libraries, is crucial for providing ample natural lighting and creating a comfortable spatial experience. It is also key to achieving the building’s green and low-carbon goals.

Using solar screens in school classrooms in hot arid areas: The effect of different aspect ratios on daylighting levels [PDF]

, 2017
Hot arid areas are endowed with an abundance of clear skies. Thus, the solar energy available can significantly raise the temperature of interior spaces and also result in an uncomfortable visual environment.

Temporal Responses to Warming: Do Wild Herbivores Trade Off Heat, Predators, and Humans?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We untangled how summer temperature, predators, and humans influenced behavioral responses in two deer species. Both reduced their daily activity level in response to warming, yet only roe deer increased nocturnality to avoid heat. Conversely, fallow deer traded off heat avoidance with predator avoidance.

TABMON: Design and deployment of a transnational passive acoustic monitoring network for European birds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological surveys are often fragmented, costly and limited in scale, leading to large and long‐standing knowledge gaps which threaten our ability to properly safeguard biodiversity. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has promised to deliver automated biodiversity monitoring, but networks are rarely deployed on scales that can offer truly novel
