The quality of the indoor lighting environment in the reading space of the university library is essential for students' visual perception, emotional evaluation, and cognitive efficiency. The design of the lighting environment considering the change of natural light is one of the important development directions to improve the light environment quality of the reading room and meet the health requirements of students. This paper from the perspective of reading vision, emotion, and cognitive probes into the natural light environment lighting design, builds a reading lighting environment laboratory, using subjective evaluation, task performance, and physiological indicators of the measurement method, first analyses the weight of different indicators under different time, establish lighting environment comprehensive evaluation index I and artificial illumination and desktop illumination prediction model. The experimental results show that experimental results show that visual discomfort and clarity are the key factors in the early and later stages. In the transition phase, emotional indicators become particularly important. The model of dynamic lighting design scheme during 17:30-20:30 is: y = 227753.1746-900120.63492x+ 1179428.57142x2-512000x3, R2 = 0.99702; the fitting formula of desktop illumination in 17:30-20:30 period is: y = 566.666667-197.08995x + 158.73016x2-37.03704x3, R2 = 0.95238. The results aim to provide a theoretical basis for the design and optimization of dynamic lighting under natural light in the library reading room.

Alternatives to nonbiodegradable synthetic plastics for food packaging include films made from biopolymers that are nontoxic and environment-friendly. In this study, carnauba wax (CW) and nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NG) as functional additives were utilized in the production of pectin/gelatin (PG) film. NG was synthesized through the microwave method, using acetic acid as the carbon source, giving size, and zeta potential of 1.

The perennially ice-covered Lake Bonney in Antarctica has been deemed a natural laboratory for studying life at the extreme. Photosynthetic algae dominate the lake food webs and are adapted to a multitude of extreme conditions including perpetual shading even at the height of the austral summer. Here we examine how the unique light environment in Lake Bonney influences the physiology of two Chlamydomonas species.

The widespread concern over nanoplastics (NPs) has prompted extensive research into their environmental impact. Concurrently, the study examined the combined toxicity of PS NPs and cadmium (Cd) on wheat. As indicated by the results of in situ Micro-ATR/FTIR, the aging process of PS NPs (50 nm) led to an increase in carbonyl and hydroxyl groups on their surface, enhancing hydrophilicity and consequently, the adsorption capacity for Cd.

Microalgae are often used in different industrial sectors and can be used as indicators of aquatic environmental health. An essential step for cultivating microalgae is assessing the cell density, which is traditionally performed through cell counting by optical microscopy (OM). However, this method has limitations, mainly in terms of runtime and low reproducibility.
