In oasis cities urban forestation shades the lower level facades of buildings. It is thus crucial to analyze the distributional patterns of sun radiation produced by trees on facades. Nevertheless, the complexity of the ...

With the increasing demographic growth and consequente food necessities, urges the need to find efficient methods for producing food. Hydroponic systems are efficient alternatives to plantations and the verticalization is ...

An illumination system for the underground floor - West, East, North and South Wings - of the Main Library of the Federal University of Santa Maria is proposed, based on Iluminância de Interiores (NBR 5413) and ...

Advances in research work in the field of numerical analysis of daylight performance have generated in-depth knowledge on photometric measurements of daylight quality. Most dynamic metrics are based on illuminance, which ...

The pre-stack Kirchhoff migration is implemented for delivering wavelet stretch-free imaged data, if the migration is (ideally) limited to the wavelet corresponding to a target horizon. Avoiding wavelet stretch provides ...

This study presents an approach to the determination of the availability of daylight in the twilight to the city of Belo Horizonte, by means of the creation of multiple regression models as a support in the computation of ...

This research presents an experiment where the relationship between view outside (VO), daylight availability (DA) and glare protection (GP) of nine shading fabrics were evaluated. This kind of shading device is placed on ...

Benefits of urban trees are evident from the energy and environmental perspective, likewise they reduce glare and control light intensity. Given the hypothesis that trees reduce visible radiation significantly reaching ...

Low level laser therapy is used as a treatment of several conditions, including inflammatory processes and wound healing. Possible changes in mechanical properties of cells, caused by illumination, are investigated with ...
