Indoor air quality in sleeping environments by Lim, Michael Ying Jie

“…Temperature and relative humidity were two of the major factors affecting thermal comfort levels, and results revealed that at times when the temperature and relative humidity were not within the recommended guidelines by NEA, occupants felt that thermal comfort level was acceptable. It was inferred that the level of thermal comfort carried a very subjective definition, and was ultimately up to personal preference. …”

Probing transverse momentum dependent structures with azimuthal dependence of energy correlators by Kang, Zhong-Bo, Lee, Kyle, Shao, Ding Yu, Zhao, Fanyi

“…We study the azimuthal angle dependence of the energy-energy correlators $$\langle \mathcal{E}\left({\widehat{n}}_{1}\right)\mathcal{E}\left({\widehat{n}}_{2}\right)\rangle $$ in the back-to-back region for e+e− annihilation and deep inelastic scattering (DIS) processes with general polarization of the proton beam. We demonstrate that the polarization information of the beam and the underlying partons from the hard scattering is propagated into the azimuthal angle dependence of the energy-energy correlators. …”
