The availability of daylight from tropical skies—a case study of Malaysia

In Malaysia, no long-term daylight data are measured. It was only recently that the need to measure the availability of daylight became urgent when the importance of daylighting in buildings was rediscovered. The hourly daylight availability has been simulated for the Malaysian sky using daylight modelling techniques based on empirical and measured solar irradiation and cloud cover data. This paper presents the techniques involved in producing exterior illuminance data. These data were then compared with measured illuminance at Shah Alam and Bangi, Malaysia. The global illuminance levels are generally high, with values exceeding 80,000 lux at noon during the months when solar irradiation is highest. Even during the months when the ground receives less solar irradiation, the peak illuminance can reach 60,000 lux. Applications and uses of such data are in daylighting design, both for visual and thermal comfort, task illuminance and energy-conscious design of buildings. Recommendations are made at the end of the paper on the various climatic data that are required to be measured for overall daylighting design applications.     

明渠水流泥沙运动水深平均及力矩方程的理论和验证

首次提出了水流泥沙运动水深平均及其力矩方程的概念 ,并从理论上推导出这套方程组。提出水流泥沙运动力矩方程的目的有两个 ,一是在不增加空间维数的情况下可以有效地恢复水流泥沙因子沿水深分布信息 ,克服目前普遍使用的水深平均方程过多地忽略沿水深分布信息的缺点 ;二是增强模型的模拟能力。针对这两个目的是否能真正得到体现 ,分别从理论和实验室资料两个方面对新推导的力矩方程进行了全面的检验。理论验证结果表明 ,一维的力矩方程除了能模拟水深平均的流速和含沙量 ,还能够较好地模拟水流泥沙因子沿水深分布信息 ,这充分说明了一维力矩方程的二维特性。为了检验力矩方程的模拟能力 ,特别选取了一些极端的水流泥沙运动实验 ,如清水冲刷、点源加沙和深槽回淤等。模拟结果表明 ,力矩方程对于这些极端的水沙运动具有较好的模拟能力

试论安定性不合格消石灰对柔性路面质量的影响

由于过烧石灰的存在和消解不当等原因，造成消石灰安定性不合格，当石灰稳定类路面结构成型或投入使用后，消石灰中的生石灰颗粒开始吸收周围水分，慢慢消解，消解过程中发生体积膨胀，对路面产生破坏。解决石灰安定性问题对防止公路前修后坏，延长路面使用寿命具有积极的现实意义。     

Sky blue,but what blue? A new evaluation of the colors of the sky for artists and designers

This study describes a process of relating the perceptual analysis of the colors of the terrestrial atmosphere to currently available pigments used in artists' painting systems. This process sought to discover how the colors of the sky could be defined and simulated by these pigments. The author also describes how confusion over the bewildering choice of suitable pigments on offer in the market place can be clarified. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) on CIE Documentary Standards for Radiometry,Photometry, and Colorimetry

The differences between ITS-90 and IPTS-68 above 1235 K are described. It is shown that none of the following CIE definitions or recommendations require revision because of the introduction of the ITS-90: International Lighting Vocabulary definitions; CIE Standard Illuminants A, D₆₅, other illuminants; and sources for realizing CIE Illuminants. The effect of the ITS-90 on previously calibrated sources for realizing CIE illuminants is negligibly small.²

Evaluating the 1931 CIE color‐matching functions

The use of colorimetry within industry has grown extensively in the last few decades. Central to many of today's instruments is the CIE system, established in 1931. Many have questioned the validity of the assumptions made by Wright¹ and Guild,² some suggesting that the 1931 color‐matching functions are not the best representation of the human visual system's cone responses. A computational analysis was performed using metameric data to evaluate the CIE 1931 color‐matching functions as compared to with other responsivity functions. The underlying assumption was that an optimal set of responsivity functions would yield minimal color‐difference error between pairs of visually matched metamers. The difference of average color differences found in the six chosen sets of responsivity functions was small. The CIE 1931 2° color‐matching functions on average yielded the largest color difference, 4.56 ΔE. The best performance came from the CIE 1964 10° color‐matching functions, which yielded an average color difference of 4.02 ΔE. An optimization was then performed to derive a new set of color‐matching functions that were visually matched using metameric pairs of spectral data. If all pairs were to be optimized to globally minimize the average color difference, it is expected that this would produce an optimal set of responsivity functions. The optimum solution was to use a weighted combination of each set of responsivity functions. The optimized set, called the Shaw and Fairchild responsivity functions, was able to reduce the average color difference to 3.92 ΔE. In the final part of this study a computer‐based simulation of the color differences between the sets of responsivity functions was built. This simulation allowed a user to load a spectral radiance or a spectral reflectance data file and display the tristimulus match predicted by each of the seven sets of responsivity functions. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
