Numerical Simulation of Vertical Profiles of Meteorological Variables in Urban Neighborhoods: Coupling an Urban Vertical Diffusion Model With a Single‐Layer Urban Canopy Model (UVDM‐SLUCM)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Heterogeneous landscape leads to large variations of urban microclimate in all dimensions, yet the vertical variability of meteorological elements within the urban canopy layer (UCL) has been rarely examined. In the present study, we developed an urban vertical diffusion model coupled with a single‐layer urban canopy model.

The Impact of Lunar Phases During Day and Night Cycles on Perinatal Outcomes: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Birth, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 192-200, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Light changes during the lunar cycle affect rhythms in diverse species. Human studies focusing on whether the moon influences human health have so far neglected the effects of light/dark cycles. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether lunar phases impact perinatal outcomes by considering illumination levels due to day ...

The Use Of Daylight For Interior Illumination System With Window Shade Reflector

, 2017
In recent years, the electric power consumption is needed to reconsider due to global warming and other environmental issues. In order to reduce electric power consumption in office buildings and houses, new illumination system may be a good step to start as illumination system uses about 20-30% electric power in any offices or houses.
