Screen Façade Pattern Design Driven by Generative Adversarial Networks and Machine Learning Classification for the Evaluation of a Daylight Environment

Buildings
This research seeks to identify optimised screen façade patterns and ratios for the effective management of daylight ingress and glare effects. It employs generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate pattern variations and further evaluates the ...

Comparison between fluorometry and microscopy‐based phytoplankton assessments in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...

In-Network Distributed Solar Current Prediction [PDF]

, 2014
Long-term sensor network deployments demand careful power management. While managing power requires understanding the amount of energy harvestable from the local environment, current solar prediction methods rely only on recent local history, which makes

Performance of a glider‐mounted multifrequency echosounder for measuring the vertical distribution and abundance of large pelagic copepods

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...

Response mechanisms between daylighting performance and skylight design variables in underground public spaces

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
Effective daylighting is crucial for underground public space sustainable development. However, existing studies focus on isolated design factors and conventional metrics, failing to holistically prevent both insufficient and excessive daylighting.

The Hidden Burden of Hemifacial Spasm: A Systematic Review of Non‐Motor Symptoms

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of facial muscles. Traditionally regarded as a motor condition, HFS encompasses a spectrum of non‐motor symptoms that are often overlooked but significantly affect patients’ quality of life.

Hypotensive Episodes Precede Cognitive Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease Dementia

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cognitive fluctuations (CFs) are a disabling feature in Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and contribute to caregiver burden. The relationship between CFs and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH), a common autonomic complication in PDD, has not been adequately examined.
