Avaliaram-se os efeitos dos programas de luz 23L:1E (23L); crescente (CRES); 16L:8E (16L) e luz natural (NAT) sobre o desempenho, rendimento de carcaça e resposta imunológica de frangos de corte machos da linhagem Cobb...

Abstract This study investigated the design and implementation of an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) utilizing diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for automotive applications, addressing challenges found in conventi...

The increase in energy consumption in buildings, particularly in the government sector, poses a serious challenge in the effort to mitigate climate change. This research aims to analyze and optimize the facade design of ...

Artificial lighting at night (ALAN) modifies the vocal activity patterns of numerous birds. In this study, we evaluated the impact of ALAN on the vocal activity patterns of the Tropical Kingbird Tyrannus melancholicus on...

Abstract Background Bright Light Therapy is effective in improving sleep and circadian rhythms. However, little is known regarding the effects of BioDynamic Lighting. The current study examined whether BioDynamic Lightin...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate carcass and parts' yield, abdominal fat deposition and breast and foot pad blisters of broilers reared under two lighting programs (nearly continuous or intermittent) in...

Improved street lighting serves many functions and is used in both public and private settings. The prevention of personal and property crime is one of its objectives in public space, which is the main focus of this syst...

Reliable lane detection is crucial to autonomous driving but continues to be challenging with varying lighting conditions. Fluctuations in illuminations due to bright sunlight, shadows or low lighting at night can degrad...

Abstract The use of artificial light is a common strategy in purse seine fisheries, particularly in Zone C waters off Kuala Terengganu, where it enhances aggregation of pelagic species. This study evaluated the effective...

The paper deals with modeling three-dimensional illumination distribution from light sourсes using artificial neural network (ANN). This problem is especially relevant in greenhouse irradiation systems due to the design...

Background The photic sneeze reflex (PSR) is a common but underexplored phenomenon where bright light triggers sneezing, affecting ~30% of the population. This study aimed to characterise the light conditions inducing PS...

In an effort to explore environmentally friendly alternative energy solutions, this study develops a Speed Bump Generator system designed to generate electrical energy as a power source for garden lighting. The system ...

This paper proposes a dual-spectrum communication strategy for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenarios that integrates visible light communication (VLC) and ultraviolet communication (UVC). In the proposed approac...

This study proposes and validates a conceptual framework using a sign language (SL) chatbot in the e-commerce domain to improve accessibility. Currently, the use of SL is a less-explored area in online platforms. It is d...

Comfort is an important factor for passengers in the selection of airlines, and electric propeller aircraft will be an important element of future sustainable aviation. In this paper, we studied the order of importance o...

The selection of sustainable and effective covering systems is essential in greenhouses to ensure optimal insulation, microclimate control, energy management, and proper solar irradiance filtration for plant growth. This...

The dynamic range limitation is intrinsic to conventional RGB cameras, which reduces global contrast and causes the loss of high-frequency details such as textures and edges in complex, dynamic traffic environments (e.g....

Abstract Building energy consumption is dominated by lighting and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, whose operation is often inefficient due to inadequate control strategies and unreliable occupa...

Italian historic centres face critical challenges balancing heritage conservation with contemporary needs, particularly in regions like Calabria where smaller settlements experience depopulation, decay, and inadequate se...

Abstract Early small fires in coal mines are of critical importance for mine safety, as most incidents begin as small fire sources. These fires essentially constitute a task of small-object detection. Detecting such targ...

Pamulang University is located in the South Tangerang area consisting of three buildings and 6 faculties and 5 of them are engineering faculties. Currently implementing Solar Panels is being carried out by the Faculty of...

Incense and candles are commonly utilized for relaxation, deodorization, aesthetics, and religious observance. Both are used ubiquitously and viewed innocuously. However, both modalities release a multitude of compounds,...

This article explores the connections between darkness and sustainability, particularly in contemporary night environments, and the needs of various species. Artificial light plays a vital role in shaping the aesthetics ...
