DESIGNING LIGHT FOR NIGHT SHIFT WORKERS: APPLICATION OF NONVISUAL LIGHTING DESIGN PRINCIPLES IN AN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION LINE

Designing Light for Night Shift Workers: Application of Nonvisual Lighting Design Principles in an Industrial Production Line

Chronodisruption deteriorates the health and wellbeing of shift workers.Artificial light at night and the lack of light during the day are major contributors to chronodisruption and need to be optimized in shift work scenarios.Here, we present one solution for a lighting and automation system in an industrial production workplace.The setting is a r

A Dual Enrichment Strategy Provides Soil- and Digestate-Competent Nitrous Oxide-Respiring Bacteria for Mitigating Climate Forcing in Agriculture

ABSTRACT Manipulating soil metabolism through heavy inoculation with microbes is feasible if organic wastes can be utilized as the substrate for growth and vector as a fertilizer.This, however, requires organisms active in both digestate and soil (generalists).Here, we present a dual enrichment strategy to enrich and isolate such generalists among

A new reconstruction of the Dst index for 1932-2002

We have reconstructed a new, homogeneous geomagnetic Dst HOMEWARES index for 1932-2002, thus extending the original Dst index by 25 years, i.e.by more than one full solar magnetic cycle.The extension was done by using data from the original set of four low-latitude stations for 1941-1956, and by using the nearby CTO station as a predecessor of the
