The medium of space in daylight, at a scale large enough to create the sanctity for reflection, is naturally kinetic, can never be fully predicted and is difficult to rework.
To some extent this is illustrated in a slightly different field, by the common experience of people tolerating very low daylight illuminance levels as evening approaches.
They hypothesized that the effect of an absence of natural or artificial daylight in that classroom was a delay in the annual variation in cortisol production.
The magnificence of the new room, however, has not obliterated our fond memories of the less awesome first room with its daylight and occasional fresh air.
Furthermore, the field tests were carried out in good daylight conditions, such that image stabilization was not an issue even with a more sophisticated digital camera.
We used a recommended procedure to generate daylight spectra (for details see ref. 32) where the spectra are generated by linear combinations of three basis vectors.
The distribution of energy in the visible spectrum of daylight.
We hypothesized that this increased susceptibility resulted from preexposure to moderately intense cyclic light rather than to being reared in full daylight as in earlier studies.
The different contexts and functions are reflected in the buildings: one is concerned with daylight and the other with sunlight, one is static and calm, the other dynamic and tense.
The design policy agreed was to reduce the annual energy consumption for environmental control to the minimum, by an appropriate balance of passive solar energy, daylight, and insulation.
The daylight retreats of these flies were often similar to those in which they were found at night, providing always that there was an absence of direct light.
A wide range of tests was performed to investigate the effects, on daylight availability and distribution, of the adjacent obstructions, shading devices, light-shelves and interior treatments.
Devices such as translucent retractable blinds positioned away from the occupants to reduce re-emission of heat and allowing diffuse daylight to enter the main building, may be used.
Both relationships require two inputs, a critical photoperiod, which in the case of short day plants is the length of daylight above which there is no response.
Concepts of order, the golden section, or the proportion of daylight to the scale of the room within would carefully control the proportions and scale of windows.
Most often, the daylight-firelight dichotomy was primary, with subsidiary themes explored within the context of individual dwellings - for instance, fireplaces defining individual retreats or fostering communal gathering.
Reeves suggests that the spectral characteristics of the opponent systems can be explained by attunement to the phases of daylight and the necessity for decorrelating the cone signals.
Put the same tomato in a laboratory light booth and change the illumination from daylight to tungsten, and one observes a pronounced change in the tomato's appearance.
First, we took the day length for each of the days that carbon fixation measurements were obtained and calculated the percentage of the total annual daylight that it represented.
Anomalous trichromats' judgments of surface color in natural scenes under different daylight.
At a certain scale and under certain pressures, the grid combined with floor space limits and daylight controls is just as likely to force tall building solutions.
To address this question, a psychophysical experiment was performed in which images of natural scenes under two successive daylights were presented on a computer-controlled high-resolution color monitor.
Other areas where energy is being wasted include using artificial lighting when daylight is adequate, using lighting in unoccupied areas and using excessive lighting.
Pieces of abstract art do not suddenly change colour because we have moved them from artificial light to daylight.
The long and narrow passage is evenly lit by a continuous glazed roof with open spandrel arches that provide a good level of daylight.
Additionally, both are dark, contemplative spaces with controlled lighting - the museum receives no daylight and the library has a small window above its built-in desk.
The artist dwelling is designed to foster creativity, through spatial development and sequences reinforced by light - daylight and the firelight emanating from fireplaces.
The canopy was glazed to ensure that the benefit of daylight from the winter sky is not lost.
If the sky is clear, the requirement is for a daylight factor of about 0.5% and direct sun must be excluded.
At the other extreme is the park to which the public has unrestricted access during daylight hours.
Neither classrooms nor common living spaces were provided with sufficient daylight or adequate ventilation systems.
In all cases the reaction of the ticks to direct daylight was tested in the following manner.
Even in the studies with the best experimental designs, daylight from windows might have confounded the independent variable.
Moreover, daylight is more intense than any interior lighting.
Seeds were then germinated in a shadecloth 'nursery' (4% full daylight), in trays 5 cm deep filled with forest topsoil.
We find ourselves in the full daylight of a sudden discovery.
