Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Satellite images acquired at night provide a visually arresting perspective of the Earth and the human activities that light up the otherwise mostly dark Earth. These night-time light satellite images can be compiled into a geospatial time series that represent an invaluable source of information for both the natural and social sciences. Night-time light remote sensing has been shown to be particularly useful for a range of natural science and social science applications including studies relating to urban development demography sociology fishing activity light pollution and the consequences of civil war. Key sensors for these time-series include the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) and the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Satellite’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (Suomi NPP/VIIRS DNB). An increasing number of alternative sources are also available including high spatial resolution and multispectral sensors. This book captures key methodological issues associated with pre-processing night-time light data documents state of the art analysis methods and explores a wide range of applications. Major sections focus on NPP/VIIRS DNB processing; inter-calibration between NPP/VIIRS and DMPS/OLS; applications associated with socio-economic activities applications in monitoring urbanization; and fishing activity monitoring. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Remote Sensing. | Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light Working Environment and Well-Being

Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light Working Environment and Well-Being

The introduction of artificial lighting extends the time of wakefulness after dark and enables work at night thus disturbing the human circadian rhythm. The understanding of the physiological mechanisms of visual and non-visual systems may be important for the development and use of proper light infrastructure and light interventions for different workplace settings especially for shift work conditions. Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light: Working Environment and Well-Being presents the impact of lighting in the working environment on human health well-being and visual performance. The physiological explanation of the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans which discusses the biological bases of image and non-image forming vision at the cellular level may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of medicine physiology and biology. It is one of the intentions of this book to put forward some recommendations and examples of lighting design which take into account both the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans. These may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of lighting occupational safety and health and interior design. What effects on health can a light ‘overdose’ or light deficiency have? What is bad light? The authors of the monograph provide answers to these questions. Just as for a physicist the dual nature of light comprises an electromagnetic wave and a photon the duality of light for a physician comprises visual and non-visual effects. -Prof Jacek Przybylski Medical University of Warsaw This is a unique publication in the field of lighting technology. The authors have skillfully combined both the technical and biomedical aspects involved which is unprecedented in the literature available. As a result an important study has been created for many professional groups with a significant impact on the assessment of risks associated with LED sources.

Spatial Transparency in Architecture Light Layering and Porosity

Spatial Transparency in Architecture Light Layering and Porosity

This volume explores the concept of spatial transparency; a form of spatial continuity that articulates depth through permeable layered or porous three-dimensional organizations where interstitial light is present. Although transparency is a concept largely associated with the modern movement the use of glazed components and twentieth-century architectural discourse spatial transparency is a form of depth awareness through intermediate domains takes place through the interstitial fabric of a structure and occurs when several consecutive domains are spatially and visually connected. These immersive environments invite active participation not as one-way communication but as a series of visual and experiential exchanges interdependencies and relationships. Divided into four parts the book examines spatial transparency in massive opaque constructions light constructions glass assemblies and hybrid systems. It analyzes both the phenomenon of visual connectivity and continuity through intermediate spaces and spatial transparency’s capacity for promoting and enabling graded interflowing environmental transactions. Using historical and contemporary examples it catalogs some of the most common and recurring configurations that manifest these characteristics. Over 20 international case studies from the Americas to Japan are presented to argue that environments exist in porous mediums and that by studying the openings voids light and materials of layered and/or permeable organizations important insights about space making can be revealed. Written for students and academics this book explores various expressions of spatial transparency in architecture and helps connect their abstract ideas with significant built works analytical drawings and comparison charts. | Spatial Transparency in Architecture Light Layering and Porosity

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication. | Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Philanthropy and Light Carnegie Libraries and the Advent of Transatlantic Standards for Public Space

Philanthropy and Light Carnegie Libraries and the Advent of Transatlantic Standards for Public Space

Walter Gropius associated standardisation with promoting civilisation in 1935 yet Andrew Carnegie’s influence on the proliferation of pattern book public library plans internationally predated these observations by 50 years. Through the first twenty years of his programme he supported the erection of almost three thousand public buildings across Britain and America. Though better acknowledged in the US than the UK this philanthropic contribution radically extended the scope of public provision and remains incomparable in its scale and scope in both nations. Frequently engraved with the self-deifying slogan Let there be Light open access to navigate these new interior public spaces after work coincided with the first provision of electric light. Towards the end of the nineteenth century professional groups had sought to specify minimum standards of natural light and air for schools and hospitals. However the commercial quantification of electricity accelerated the development of a readily comparable vocabulary to prescribe adequate quantities of light for all tasks regardless of their location or orientation. Seeking to gauge the extent of universal values this book concentrates on the design and performance of a handful of early Carnegie library buildings in Britain and America identifying their response to contemporary design theory but also by contrast to their respective local environmental contexts. It examines whether their standards of provision were equitable and if these privately financed public buildings were the first roots of generically standardised public environments to be shared transatlantically. The book also argues that the public library building type can provide a datum for acknowledging the twentieth century legacy of shared international environmental standards for public spaces more broadly. | Philanthropy and Light Carnegie Libraries and the Advent of Transatlantic Standards for Public Space
