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]
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
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
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).
