Using solar screens in school classrooms in hot arid areas: the effect of different perforation on daylighting levels [PDF]

, 2016
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 due to glare and poor uniformity ratios.

An autonomous network of acoustic detectors to map tiger risk by eavesdropping on prey alarm calls

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human‐tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alarm calls as a proxy for tiger risk and provide a risk map to local communities in real‐time.

Effects of Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Performance But Not Brain Activation in Healthy Adults

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Objectives While preliminary evidence suggests that noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) may enhance cognition, to our knowledge, no study has directly assessed the effects of nVNS on brain function and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

Multi-Objective Optimisation of Skylight Design Parameters for a Low-rise Building in the Tropics

International Journal of Technology
Skylight is an effective strategy for maximising daylight penetration while minimising electrical lighting energy demand in buildings. However, in tropical climate regions, skylight can be problematic due to the risk of excessive sunlight. This study

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...
