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...

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...

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...

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,...

ABSTRACT Analysing learners' facial expressions during learning and exploring their learning processes and emotional changes are of great significance for assisting teachers' teaching and promoting smart education. In co...

Face-recognition technology is one of the most important advancements in the field of computer vision. They play a crucial role in many applications, including biometric authentication, surveillance, online security, and...

Abstract Strong lighting from above is common in everyday environments and this statistical regularity has shaped the function of the human visual system. Here we investigate the influence of vertical asymmetries in illu...

Office buildings have frequently changed from the past to the present due to historical factors (the collapse of empires, colonialism and expansionist policies, the industrial revolution, wars, the development of technol...

Abstract Sun glare during sunrise and sunset and headlight glare at night can temporarily reduce contrast sensitivity and hazard detection, creating high risk driving conditions that contribute to severe crashes on speci...

Introduction: Visual shade matching has been practiced in dentistry for decades to find a shade of restoration that perfectly match with adjacent tooth for natural aesthetic look. Intraoral camera is an adjunct tool for ...

IntroductionToday, the rapid acceleration of urbanization has made it necessary to reconsider the balance among energy consumption, environmental sustainability, and quality of life. Buildings, which account for a signif...

This paper focuses on control systems for hybrid heat pumps that utilize the heat from return heat-ing water and outdoor air, designed to operate in district heating systems based on central heating plants. The aim of th...
