Exploring interactions between shading and view using visual difference prediction by Stephen Wasilewski, Marilyne Andersen

“…This paper is an exploration of how to approach the characterisation of view clarity through different facades as a function of both the facade and the view itself. While the findings are preliminary, there is already an indication that the type of view content matters to how well people will see through different systems, an important consideration when planning mock-ups and selecting shade fabrics, blinds or electrochromic glazing.…”

Mitochondrial genome assembly of the Chinese endemic species of Camellia luteoflora and revealing its repetitive sequence mediated recombination, codon preferences and MTPTs by Xu Xiao, Zhaohui Ran, Chao Yan, Weihao Gu, Zhi Li

“…Phylogenetic reconstruction using mitochondrial PCGs positioned C. luteoflora in closest evolutionary proximity to Camellia sinensis var. sinensis. Selection pressure analysis (Ka/Ks ratios < 1 for 11 PCGs) and nucleotide diversity assessment (Pi values: 0–0.00711) indicated strong purifying selection and low sequence divergence.This study provides the first comprehensive mitochondrial genomic resource for C. luteoflora, offering critical insights for germplasm conservation, comparative organelle genomics, phylogenetic resolution, and evolutionary adaptation studies in Camellia species.…”
