Full textAbstract:
Shading techniques constitute one of the most passive, beneficial strategies for reducing energy consumption in urban dwellings. Shading affects many factors, for example, the solar gains and radiations falling on the façade, which are considered the most significant in increasing the cooling energy demand in hot climates. This paper conducts a parametric study on external and internal shading devices and establishes their impact on energy consumption, daylight levels, and ventilation. The work was conducted using Integrated Environmental Simulation Virtual Environment (IES-VE) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical methods. The results revealed that optimised shading can influence savings in terms of energy and cooling, in addition to the enhancement of daylighting and reduction of glare. After studying all these factors associated with the different shading techniques investigated, the findings revealed that all shades affect the energy, daylight and ventilation parameters positively. However, despite all external and internal shadings showing improvements, the egg crate shade was determined as that which provided the optimum energy saving, while enhancing daylight and improving natural ventilation for a sustainable building design.

AbstractIn general, intrinsic image decomposition algorithms interpret shading as one unified component including all photometric effects. As shading transitions are generally smoother than reflectance (albedo) changes, these methods may fail in distinguishing strong photometric effects from reflectance variations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose to decompose the shading component into direct (illumination) and indirect shading (ambient light and shadows) subcomponents. The aim is to distinguish strong photometric effects from reflectance variations. An end-to-end deep convolutional neural network (ShadingNet) is proposed that operates in a fine-to-coarse manner with a specialized fusion and refinement unit exploiting the fine-grained shading model. It is designed to learn specific reflectance cues separated from specific photometric effects to analyze the disentanglement capability. A large-scale dataset of scene-level synthetic images of outdoor natural environments is provided with fine-grained intrinsic image ground-truths. Large scale experiments show that our approach using fine-grained shading decompositions outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms utilizing unified shading on NED, MPI Sintel, GTA V, IIW, MIT Intrinsic Images, 3DRMS and SRD datasets.

Six tomato genotypes were grown in the field under full sun at 50% reduced light intensity using shading net to evaluate growth, fruit set, and fruit cracking incident. The experiment was conducted during the rainy season in December 2016 to March 2017 in Cikarawang Experimental Station, Bogor, Indonesia. The genotypes tested were sensitive (“Tora” and F7005001-4-1-12-5), tolerant (F7003008-1-12-10-3 and F7003008-1-12-16-2), and shade-loving (SSH-3 and “Apel Belgia”). The results showed 50% shading delayed flowering and harvesting time in all genotypes. Genotype and shading treatments had an independent effect on fruit set. Shaded plants had lower flower abortion and resulted in a higher number of fruits per harvest, except in “Apel Belgia” and “Tora” genotypes. Fruit cracking incidents were low under shading implying the use of shading can increase tomato quality. However, it needs further investigation through using natural shading, e.g., intercropping system before this finding is applied in farmers’ field.

Full textAbstract:
Most educational buildings in southern Spain do not meet current energy requirements as weak thermal envelopes and the lack of cooling systems lead to severe discomfort in classrooms, especially when temperatures are above 30 °C. Given that global warming is expected to worsen this situation in coming decades, one of the first steps to be taken is to protect window openings from high levels of solar radiation by adding shading devices to reduce indoor temperatures and improve visual comfort. The aim of this research is to evaluate the reduction in thermal and lighting consumption in a classroom where a solar protection system in the form of an egg-crate shading device was installed. Two classrooms—one with an egg-crate device and another with no shading system—were monitored and compared for a whole year. The use of an egg-crate device in these classrooms reduced indoor operative temperatures during warmer periods while also improving indoor natural illuminance levels. Moreover, annual electric air conditioning consumption decreased by approximately 20%, with a 50% reduction in electric lighting consumption. These savings in electricity were largely conditioned by the use patterns observed in these ambient systems.

As stadiums have high energy consumption in architectural lighting and air conditioning, how to make full use of natural lighting and natural ventilation is the key to architectural energy conservation. To this end, many passive energy conservation measures have been taken into account in designing Multifunctional Stadium of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University. For instance, strip light windows with vertical shading have been installed on east and west facade, open external windows on south and north facade etc. Test result of the Stadium shows that the above-mentioned passive design methods are able to increase natural light intensity of the playing field and prevent glare, improve wind velocity of natural ventilation and comfort in spectator areas.

AbstractThe highly optimized natural process of oxygenic photosynthesis leads to the formation of redox equivalents, such as NADPH, that can be used to fuel heterologous biotransformations in phototrophic microorganisms. We investigated the reduction of 2-methylmaleimide by the ene-reductase YqjM in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and doubled the productivity of the cells by inactivating flavodiironproteins (FDPs) as competing electron sink under self-shading conditions, reaching 18.3 mmol h−1 L−1.

Full textAbstract:
A prior study of the acoustical performance of a double-skin facade (DSF) as a noise barrier was carried out based on the percentage of the air vent open surface area, shading louver configurations, and shading louver surface materials. Earlier research findings led to experimental investigations of the acoustical performance capabilities of compact silencers to replace DSF air vents as both noise barriers and air channels because DSF air cavities, which contribute to natural ventilation performance (e.g., wind-driven or buoyancy-driven performance), are acoustically vulnerable to noise transmitted through the air vents. This experimental investigation aims to explore noise reduction (NR) through compact silencers applied to DSF air vents. Double-skin facade mock-up test cases were designed based on three test scenarios of a ventilation open surface area: (1) a 100%air vent open surface area (open mode), (2) a 0% air vent open surface area (closed mode), and (3) a compact silencer. From a data analysis of DSF mock-up test results, the overall NR values of a DSFmock-up ranged from20 to 37 dB(A) depending on the number of compact silencers and the shading louver orientation used. Configurations of compact silencers and shading louvers helped the DSF mock-up achieve additionalNR values of 5 to 10 dB(A) depending on the test case. Moreover, applying compact silencers to a naturally ventilated DSF mock-up led to significant noise reduction at low frequencies (125Hz).

Full textAbstract:
Natural nests of egg-laying birds and reptiles exhibit substantial thermal variation, at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Rates and trajectories of embryonic development are highly sensitive to temperature, favouring an ability of embryos to respond adaptively (i.e. match their developmental biology to local thermal regimes). Spatially, thermal variation can be significant within a single nest (top to bottom), among adjacent nests (as a function of shading, nest depth etc.), across populations that inhabit areas with different weather conditions, and across species that differ in climates occupied and/or nest characteristics. Thermal regimes also vary temporally, in ways that generate differences among nests within a single population (e.g. due to seasonal timing of laying), among populations and across species. Anthropogenic activities (e.g. habitat clearing, climate change) add to this spatial and temporal diversity in thermal regimes. We review published literature on embryonic adaptations to spatio-temporal heterogeneity in nest temperatures. Although relatively few taxa have been studied in detail, and proximate mechanisms remain unclear, our review identifies many cases in which natural selection appears to have fine-tuned embryogenesis to match local thermal regimes. Developmental rates have been reported to differ between uppermost versus lower eggs within a single nest, between eggs laid early versus late in the season, and between populations from cooler versus warmer climates. We identify gaps in our understanding of thermal adaptations of early (embryonic) phases of the life history, and suggest fruitful opportunities for future research.

Full textAbstract:
The radiative properties of several plastic shading nets were measured under natural solar radiation conditions. We found that the plastic nets behave as homogeneous translucent materials (e.g., plastic film, plastic sheets, and glass). Based on this behavior, we suggest that it is possible to treat plastic nets as translucent materials and to characterize them with equivalent optical constants (i.e., equivalent refractive indexes,neq, and equivalent extinction coefficients,σeq). Here a physical model to determineneqandσeqof plastic nets was described in analogy to homogeneous translucent materials. We examined three groups of nets based on their color (black, black-green, and beige). Each group consisted of nets with four or five different porosities. Nets of each group had almost the same texture structure. For each group, we derived an equation forneqas a function of the net porosity and determined an average value forσeq. Once values ofneqandσeqwere determined, the solar radiative properties of a net could then be calculated fromneqandσeqfor any incident angle of solar beam radiation without the need of measurements. The present model was validated by comparing the calculated with the measured radiative properties of three nets at different incident angle of solar beam radiation. The calculated radiative properties reasonably agreed with measured values.

The research was developed at Brazilian company of farming research/Embrapa Agropecuária Oeste, on Dourados City, Mato Grosso do Sul State. The shading of two arboreal species, Sibipiruna tree (Caelsalpinia peltophoroides) and Flamboyant tree (Delonix regia) had been analyzed in relation to the attenuation of the temperature in internal environments, provided for the shade of each one of the species, in opened constructions. The data had been collected in two modules of wooden construction and covered with asbestos-cement roofing tiles, located under the sun and in the shade of the analyzed species. In these modules, they had been gotten data of temperature of the air, relative humidity and temperature of the black globe. The data of speed of the wind had been gotten at Meteorological Station from Embrapa Agropecuária Oeste. With the gotten data, the percentages of attenuation of the temperature for each one of the modules and the relative variations of the temperatures of the air and of the black globe had been calculated. Evaluating the results gotten, it is observed that the natural shading produced by Sibipiruna tree provided to the shade an attenuation on temperature of the black globe of 2.82ºC and on temperature of the air of 0.96ºC lesser than the data gotten under the sun, and a percentage of attenuation of 8.34 % and 3.16%, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Pneumonia is defined as acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma, presenting with consistent symptoms and signs and associated with new radiographic shadowing. It may be acute or chronic in onset and involve either one area of a lung (e.g. lobar pneumonia) or be multifocal in nature. It may be community acquired or hospital acquired. Community- acquired pneumonia is defined as pneumonia occurring in an individual with no recent contact with a healthcare setting, or in a patient admitted to hospital with development of symptoms and/or signs of pneumonia within 48 hours of admission. Hospital-acquired pneumonia or nosocomial pneumonia occurs when a patient develops symptoms or signs of pneumonia after 48 hours of admission to a healthcare setting or in the context of a long-term nursing home resident. A subtype of nosocomial pneumonia is ventilator-associated pneumonia, defined as pneumonia occurring at least 48–72 hours post intubation.
