Operating Temperatures and Diurnal Temperature Variations of Modules Installed in Open-Rack and Typical BIPV Configurations
Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Andrew Wayne Fairbrother
Because of building skin integration with restricted or reduced rear-side ventilation, elevated operating temperatures are expected in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) modules and systems, which may impact their long performance and reliability. Th ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Type 2 diabetes disrupts circadian orchestration of lipid metabolism and membrane fluidity in human pancreatic islets
Howard Riezman, Jonathan Paz Montoya
Recent evidence suggests that circadian clocks ensure temporal orchestration of lipid homeostasis and play a role in pathophysiology of metabolic diseases in humans, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). Nevertheless, circadian regulation of lipid metabolism in ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2022Density currents driven by differential cooling in lakes: occurrence, dynamics and implications for littoral-pelagic exchange
Cross-shore flows exchange water laterally in lakes, with ecological implications for the ecosystem. One example is the convective circulation induced by differential cooling, also known as the thermal siphon. This lateral flow forms when the sloping sides ...
EPFL2022Diurnal and seasonal patterns of global urban dry islands
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a widely studied phenomenon, while research on urban-rural differences in humidity, the so called urban dry or moisture islands (UDIs, UMIs), is less common and a large-scale quantification of the seasonal and diurnal patterns ...
2022Estimating flexibility preferences to resolve temporal scheduling conflicts in activity-based modelling
Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala
This paper presents a novel activity-based demand model that combines an optimisation framework for continuous temporal scheduling decisions (i.e. activity timings and durations) with traditional discrete choice models for non-temporal choice dimensions (i ...
SPRINGER2022Exploring light exposure of hospital nurses working rapidly rotating shifts in relation to sleepiness and sleep
Nightshift work can negatively impact sleep, performance, and health. Careful manipulation of light exposure patterns can help reduce these negative effects but is challenging in conditions of rapidly rotating shiftwork and due to individual differences. A ...

2021Human thermal perception and time of day: A review
The circadian clock regulates diurnal variations in autonomic thermoregulatory processes such as core body temperature in humans. Thus, we might expect that similar daily fluctuations also characterize human thermal perception, the ultimate role of which i ...
2021Differential Susceptibility to the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Working Memory, Empathy, and Perceived Stress: The Role of Cortisol and Resilience
There are important individual differences in adaptation and reactivity to stressful challenges. Being subjected to strict social confinement is a distressful psychological experience leading to reduced emotional well-being, but it is not known how it can ...
2021On Sensitivity to Glare and Its Relationship with Macular Pigment
Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain
Current trends in discomfort glare research have suggested the influence of physiological parameters on individual glare perception. To this end, we hypothesize that a specific ocular physiology characteristic, namely the macular pigment (MP) in the retina ...
