Dreamy Dwellings: How the Sleep Environment Affects Sleep Health in Adults—A Narrative Review

open access: yesLifestyle Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Sufficient high‐quality, well‐timed sleep is essential to health and physical, cognitive and emotional functions. Historically, environmental factors such as threats from other beings have likely constrained sleep. Newer sources of sleep disruption include modern work schedules, climate change, light pollution and noise pollution.

A Prototype Toolkit For Evaluating Indoor Environmental Quality In Commercial Buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Measurement of building environmental parameters is often complex, expensive, and not easily proceduralized in a manner that covers all commercial buildings. Evaluating building indoor environmental quality performance is therefore not standard practice.

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

Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2573-2587, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

A low‐cost, highly flexible, open‐source setup design with digital LEDs for research on artificial light at night

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1948-1954, September 2025.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a global change factor of growing relevance, yet its impact on organisms remains poorly understood. Present studies point to rather negative impacts of ALAN on species and ecosystems. Most research on ALAN uses conventional LED technology without simulating the complex spatial and temporal facets of ALAN ...

Review of simulating four classes of window materials for daylighting with non-standard BSDF using the simulation program Radiance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This review describes the currently available simulation models for window material to calculate daylighting with the program "Radiance". The review is based on four abstract and general classes of window materials, depending on their scattering and ...

Distributed lightning monitoring: an affordable proposal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In theaters and the filmmaking industry, video streams, images, audio streams and scalar data are commonly used. In these fields, one of the most important magnitudes to be collected and controlled is the light intensity in different scene spots.

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 ...
