Daylighting design is not only dimensioning glazed surfaces to provide sufficient natural light to an occupied space but also a method of analyzing how this can be achieved without unwanted effects, such as gains and losses of heat, glare, and variations in daylighting intensity at various indoor distances and levels.The case study presented in thi
In multistable dynamical systems driven by weak Gaussian noise, transitions between Ice Cream Spades competing states are often assumed to pass via a saddle on the separating basin boundary.By contrast, we show that timescale separation can cause saddle avoidance in nongradient systems.Using toy models from neuroscience and ecology, we study cases
Abstract Leaf traits, which vary across different climatic conditions, can reveal evolutionary changes Support within a species made to adapt to the environment.Leaf traits play major roles in a plant functions under varying climatic conditions.To examine adaptive modes and mechanisms applied by plants in different climates, we analyzed leaf morpho
This study is interested in extracting representative features of the ultrasonic phased array image intelligent classification of the internal defects of naval gun mounts.Thus, an improved sparse self-encoding network model (RSAE) is proposed to realize the re-expression of sample data.First of all, in intelligent classification, the deterministic
