Photovoltaic Integrated Shading Devices in the Retrofitting of Existing Buildings on Chinese Campuses Within a Regional Context

Retrofitting existing buildings to be more energy-efficient is a tremendous contribution to the sustainability of society. The application of photovoltaic integrated shading devices (PVSDs) accords with this ambition by blocking out unwanted radiant heat gain and generating clean electricity. The deployment of PVSDs needs sensible design strategies to optimize the production of renewable energy while retaining the aesthetic quality of the built-up environment, especially in historic campuses. The concept was tested in a case study of buildings in South China University of Technology (SCUT) using Ladybug 1.4.0 and PVsyst 7.2, utilizing the existing “Xia’s shading” design method in historical environments and optimizing the design from the perspective of photovoltaic performance. Firstly, the photovoltaic (PV) panels were integrated as architectural components, and the parameters were incorporated into a mathematical equation based on “Xia’s shading” design method. This was followed by the assessment of the solar energy harvesting potential based on simulated annual solar irradiation values. Lastly, the PV panels’ solar irradiation potential under these different parameters was shown in figures to identify the optimum parameters combination for PVSD applications. The proposed methodology could evolve as a design tool and thus further assist in promoting the large-scale adoption of PVSDs in retrofit projects.

Sustainable University Campuses: Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Lightscapes in Outdoor Spaces

A lightscape, as a special visual landscape, has unique temporal and spatial characteristics that traditional photometric measurements and descriptions struggle to capture accurately. Despite their significance, there is a lack of in-depth understanding of the on-site perception of lightscapes’ temporal and spatial characteristics, including in outdoor university campus spaces. This study aims to explore the temporal and spatial characteristics of outdoor lightscapes on university campuses and their potential perceptual influencing factors, providing sustainable design, planning, and management suggestions for campus lightscapes. This study was conducted in the Wushan Campus of the South China University of Technology. It employs a “lightwalk” method for on-site perception evaluation, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigate the temporal and spatial characteristics of lightscapes in outdoor university campus spaces and the effect of temporal and spatial factors on lightscape perception. The main findings are as follows: (1) Meteorological, architectural, and biophilic lightscape dominate the outdoor campus lightscapes. (2) The temporal and spatial characteristics of the lightscapes are affected by changes in natural light, the transition of light sources from day to night, human activity patterns, and the functional characteristics of the site. (3) The correlation between meteorological and traffic lightscape types and lightscape perception is diminished during the evening periods. This method should be a good way to optimize water and architectural lightscape at night to alleviate discomfort. (4) In green-shaded spaces, the association between meteorological, architectural, and traffic lightscape types and the evaluations of emotional, luminous, and eventful aspects is significantly enhanced, suggesting an increase in such spaces to improve lightscape experience quality. This study advocates that the construction of buildings and environments should be “human-oriented”, paying attention to the scientific foundation that humans perceive the habitat environment through the “five senses”. Research on lightscapes’ temporal and spatial characteristics, exploration of the temporal and spatial modes of lightscape perception, and avoiding energy waste and light pollution are conducive to the design and construction of university campuses in line with the principles of sustainable development. The lightscape optimization strategies derived from this study can not only provide practical guidance for the design and management of campus but also may offer valuable recommendations for planning sustainable campus development.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Possibilistic Portfolio Selection Models

Possibility theory is one of the most used uncertainty theories in decision-making. This study aims to examine possibilistic portfolio selection models. In this context, we perform their bibliometric analysis with the Web of Science (WOS) data, using the Bibliometrix, without limiting the timespan. We get many results by analyzing the data of 303 documents, of which timespan is from 1995 to 2023. We see that W. G. Zhang is the most influential author in this field. The paper introducing the possibilistic mean-variance (MV) model is the most influential document in this field. The paper introducing Markowitz’s MV model is the most influential reference. China is the most productive country in this field, whereas The South China University of Technology is the most productive institution in this field. Fuzzy Sets and Systems is the most influential journal in this field. Variance originated from Markowitz’s MV model is the most critical keyword plus in this field. It has also maintained its trend topic position for a long time. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper making a bibliometric analysis of possibilistic portfolio selection models.

This study aims to construct a Nomogram model to predict the risk of developing castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in patients with high tumor burden (HTB) and osseous metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), and to identify key prognostic factors. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with HTB and osseous metastatic PCa treated at The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, South China University of Technology and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2018 to February 2022. Patients' baseline data and laboratory indexes were collected. Cox regression analysis identified neural invasion (NI; P<0.001, HR: 2.371, 95% CI: 1.569-3.582), Gleason score (P=0.002, HR: 1.787, 95% CI: 1.241-2.573), initial PSA (P=0.004, HR: 1.677, 95% CI: 1.174-2.396), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; P<0.001, HR: 2.729, 95% CI: 1.855-4.014) as significant prognostic factors for progression to CRPC. The constructed Nomogram model exhibited high accuracy in predicting one- and two-year progression to CRPC, with external validation confirming its predictive performance. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves indicated that the areas under the curves (AUCs) of the model for one- and two-year progression to CRPC were 0.81 and 0.76, respectively. This model demonstrates high predictive performance, aiding clinical decision-making and providing personalized treatment strategies for patients with HTB and osseous metastatic PCa.
