As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But while we can appreciate that others might hold different opinions of objects we see, not many people know that factors beyond our ...

Researchers from Bristol University have reconstructed the color patterns of a Cretaceous-era Psittacosaurus, revealing not just its colors and distinct shading patterns, but also clues about the life ...

Shading brings 3D form to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading for perception, scientists have long been puzzled about how the brain actually ...

Shade-induced changes in the branching pattern of clonal plants can lead to conspicuous modifications of their growth form and architecture. It has been hypothesized that reduced branching in shade ...

An international research team has proposed use of a modified version of the tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA) to help PV arrays achieve an improved yield under partial shading conditions. The TSA is an ...

Researchers at Puducherry Technological University in India have developed a new method to improve power yield in PV arrays operating under partial shading. Using a Sudoku-like technique, the PV ...

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are increasingly pivotal in the transition towards sustainable energy, yet their performance is often compromised by partial shading. Variations in irradiance—whether due to ...

Based on visits from Los Angeles to central Mexico this past winter, there was no doubt that heavily shaded areas of golf courses sustained more turf injury and delayed recovery in the spring. Now is ...
