An international research team has proposed use of a modified version of the tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA) to help PV arrays achieve an improved yield under partial shading conditions. The TSA is an ...

Shade-induced changes in the branching pattern of clonal plants can lead to conspicuous modifications of their growth form and architecture. It has been hypothesized that reduced branching in shade ...

Researchers from Bristol University have reconstructed the color patterns of a Cretaceous-era Psittacosaurus, revealing not just its colors and distinct shading patterns, but also clues about the life ...

As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But while we can appreciate that others might hold different opinions of objects we see, not many people know that factors beyond our ...

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are increasingly pivotal in the transition towards sustainable energy, yet their performance is often compromised by partial shading. Variations in irradiance—whether due to ...

Researchers at Puducherry Technological University in India have developed a new method to improve power yield in PV arrays operating under partial shading. Using a Sudoku-like technique, the PV ...

Shading brings 3D form to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading for perception, scientists have long been puzzled about how the brain actually ...

December is a great time to identify and document potential winter shade problems, especially around greens and tees. You won't experience shade patterns caused by low sun angles any other time of the ...
