PREDICTING DAYLIGHT ILLUMINANCE IN URBAN CITY USING STATISTICAL REGRESSION TECHNIQUES

open access: yesJournal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2018
Prediction of daylight illuminance has become the prime concern for building designers. This paper presents the daylight illuminance frequency distribution, correlation coefficients amongst climate variables and linear regression models developed for moderate climate zone. The emphasis of the present study is to predict daylight illuminance intensities

Treatment of Early‐Onset Specified and Unspecified Bipolar Disorders: A Systematic Review and Strategies for Identifying and Managing a Thermally Dysregulated Subtype in Children

open access: yesActa Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Volume 152, Issue 3, Page 156-179, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bipolar disorder (BD), characterized by extreme mood shifts between mania and depression, can manifest in childhood, and pose treatment challenges. Treatment for full‐criteria BD I or II in children has been partially described in the literature, but major uncertainties exist regarding non‐classic presentations, which were ...

The Impact of Lighting Conditions on Users' Alertness and Working Memory in Confined Spaces

open access: yesPsyCh Journal, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 614-629, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Confined spaces, characterized by limited natural ventilation, the absence of windows, and restricted access to natural light, present distinct challenges. While most studies focus on lighting's effect on sleep, confined spaces are now more often used for short‐term work‐rest cycles, especially in office settings.

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

open access: yes, 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.
