Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 629-641, September 2026.
Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Objective Measurement of Tooth Color Using Spectrophotometry and ICDAS: Quantifying CIELAB Color Changes Across Caries Severity

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page 1802-1813, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) is widely used for early caries detection but relies on visual interpretation. Although spectrophotometry objectively quantifies tooth color, variation across ICDAS categories and its relationship with lesion severity remain unclear. The present in vitro study therefore

Photobioreactors as a Dynamic Shading System Conceived for an Outdoor Workspace of the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane: Study of Daylighting Performances

Journal of Daylighting, 2019
In the field of responsive shading systems, the use of photobioreactors (PBRs) containing microalgae seems to be a promising technology. Within this framework, this paper presents a case study where a PBR was specifically conceived as a shading system ...

ENLIGHTENme: Translating the Benefits of Self‐Administered Daytime Light Supplementation to Older Adults in the Real World

Journal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Controlled studies have demonstrated that light supplementation benefits circadian entrainment, sleep and mood. Translating these findings into effective, real‐world usage of light supplementation is, however, challenging because naturalistic and supplemental light exposure are shaped by personal habits and environmental light conditions ...

The Effects of Suspended Sediments, Dye, and Their Variation on Fish Behavior

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human activities are affecting the visual environments of freshwater ecosystems by introducing visual pollutants such as artificial dyes and elevated suspended sediment levels. Our research shows that dyes and suspended sediments can have contrasting effects of fish behavior, with dye increasing and sediments decreasing movement.

Parallel Electrical Integration of Photo Bio Electrochemical Systems (photo‐BESs): Performance Gains and Load Dependency

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 13, 8 July 2026.
Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Luminescence and Photochromism in Lanthanide‐Doped Hackmanites

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 23, 19 June 2026.
Lanthanide‐doped lithium hackmanite derivatives are prepared utilizing a doped LiAlSiO4 precursor to modify luminescent and photochromic properties. Upon UV excitation, europium doping results in green Eu2+ persistent luminescence from shallow traps. Contrarily, samarium doping induces unusual near‐infrared photochromism.
