The Problem of Lighting in Underground Domes, Vaults, and Tunnel-Like Structures of Antiquity; An Application to the Sustainability of Prominent Asian Heritage (India, Korea, China) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Lighting in heritage is complex because of the forms intervening in it. The historical evolution of cultures has not been analytical and therefore, the shapes involved di er greatly from the cuboids typically found in 21st century architecture.

Safe and Truly Ecofriendly LED Lighting

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 11, Page 5068-5074, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Truly ecofriendly and safe light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting in the built and urban environments requires the use of LED lights emitting significantly lower amount of blue light than conventional, first‐generation white LED lights. Thanks to substantial technology progress in the design and manufacturing of LEDs, this is now possible at the ...

Simulated daylight vs. conventional PDT for clinical superficial BCC: A randomized controlled trial

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 1997-2004, November 2025.
In this single‐centre, non‐inferiority, randomized controlled trial, SDL‐PDT (n = 95 lesions) was less effective than C‐PDT (n = 98 lesions) in treating superficial basal cell carcinoma One‐year clearance rates: 61.3% with SDL‐PDT versus 91.8% with C‐PDT (p < 0.001).

Advanced low‐light image transformation for accurate nighttime pavement distress detection

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 28, Page 5307-5324, 28 November 2025.
Abstract Pavement distress detection is critical for road safety and infrastructure longevity. Although nighttime inspections offer advantages such as reduced traffic and enhanced operational efficiency, challenges like low visibility and noise hinder their effectiveness.
