COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES: A PASSIVE STRATEGY TO IMPROVE VISUAL COMFORT BY OPTIMIZING DAYLIGHT UNIFORMITY IN THE CLASSROOM

Computational studies: A passive strategy to improve visual comfort by optimizing daylight uniformity in the classroom

Even distribution of natural light is crucial in creating optimal visual comfort in classrooms.Many classrooms in tropical areas experience lighting imbalances, with areas near windows receiving excessive light, while others lack lighting.This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of passive design strategies in improving the uniformity of natur

Adaptive Advantage of Myrmecochory in the Ant-Dispersed Herb Lamium amplexicaule (Lamiaceae): Predation Avoidance through the Deterrence of Post-Dispersal Seed Predators.

Seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) is found worldwide, but the benefits that plants obtain from this mutualism remain uncertain.In the present study, we conducted laboratory experiments to demonstrate seed predator avoidance as a benefit of myrmecochory using the annual ant-dispersed herb Lamium amplexicaule, the disperser ant Tetramorium tsushi
