Stretchable Displays, Summer Days

Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.

Louvers design for LED displays for sunny days

The use of louvers attached to variable information display needs to be optimized taking into account different intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. The analysis of the performance of the display–louvers system takes into account the location, orientation, and daily and seasonal variations. The observation of the system is divided depending on the distance of observation. The far distance vision...

Understanding differences between summer vs. school obesogenic behaviors of children: the structured days hypothesis

BACKGROUND Although the scientific community has acknowledged modest improvements can be made to weight status and obesogenic behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sedentary/screen time, diet, and sleep) during the school year, studies suggests improvements are erased as elementary-age children are released to summer vacation. Emerging evidence shows children return to school after summer vacatio...

Characteristics of solar energy radiation on typical summer and winter days in

The energy received by solar collectors for power generation is limited to various conditions. The average data on solar irradiation are normally used to determine the potential of solar energy at any location. However, the variation of solar energy due to seasonal differences could affect the actual performance of the collectors, consequently leading to poorly justified system installations, w...

Adolescent transition: Ordinary People (1980), Fly Away Home (1996), and (500) Days Of Summer (2009).

Five important transitional tasks of adolescent development are (i) taming the upsurge of desires and impulses, both sexual and aggressive, into constructive and creative directions; (ii) establishing independence from infantile family ties (while maintaining some involvement with the family of origin); (iii) reconciling self-preoccupations with social attachments; (iv) reworking identification...
