This paper describes an innovative approach for the assessment of the performance of a modern rotary engine. All the experimental activities will be carried out within the Innovate UK funded ADAPT Intelligent Powertrain project led by Westfield Sportscars Limited. The engine under test is a 225cm 3rotary engine produced by Advanced Innovative Engineering (AIE) UK Ltd. equipped with the patented Compact SPARCS (Self-Pressurising-Air Rotor Cooling System) technology that uses the blow-by gases of the combustion process to improve the heat rejection from the rotor to the liquid coolant. Light is an important, if complex, tool in architecture. Not only does it lend atmosphere, texture, and vibrancy, but it is increasingly essential in an age where technology alienates us from nature. In this excerpt from Mary Guzowski's new book, The Art of Architectural Daylighting , she introduces the science and art of daylighting - and details six ways the masters approach the challenge.

Nuñez, J. R., Anderton, C. R. & Renslow, R. S. Optimizing colormaps with consideration for color vision deficiency to enable accurate interpretation of scientific data. PLoS ONE 13, e0199239 (2018). Developed the mathematically optimal colour map for readers with different colour-vision deficiencies named Cividis, which allows most accurate perception of data by as many viewers as possible. CMOcean (colormaps inspired by oceanography): The CMOcean colour maps 20 (available at ref. 64), developed by Kristen M. Thyng and colleagues, aim to provide the most intuitive colours for a given suite of physical parameters, while now also being perceptually uniform. A variety of continuous sequential, diverging and cyclic colour maps are provided to allow for an intuitive, true representation of a given physical parameter field. The CMOcean colour maps are available in a large variety of file formats.

Alexander, K. R. & Shansky, M. S. Influence of hue, value, and chroma on the perceived heaviness of colors. Percept. Psychophys. 19, 72–74 (1976). The colour appearance model CIECAM02 48, 49, and the perceptually uniform colour space CIECAM02-UCS 50 based on it, is the current gold standard to describe how we perceive colour and colour differences. CIECAM02-UCS describes a certain colour by its lightness (L) and its red–green (a) and yellow-blue (b) correlates (Supplementary Figs. 4 and 5), and it represents a certain perceptual colour variation on equal Euclidean distances across the whole space. Colour spaces like CIECAM02-UCS make it possible to design perceptually uniform colour maps and, also, to take colour-deficient vision into account. Cividis: The cividis colour map 38 (available at ref. 63), developed by Jamie R. Nuñez and colleagues, aims to represent an almost identical appearance for red–green colour-vision deficiencies, the closest of all currently available colour maps, while also being perceptually uniform. The colour-vision deficiency friendly, sequential and continuous colour map is currently available as a standard colour array. Designing Lightness is an accessible introduction to lightweight design, written playfully with richly illustrated surprising examples Daylight is also an architectural medium and the most intangible of materials. Light embodies the changing moods of the sky and qualities of place as it interacts with the building form, materials, surface textures, hues, and reflectivity. The varied and changing material and atmospheric effects of daylight can awaken the senses and further enhance our understanding of and relationship to the world in which we live.Notice that the HSL values in there. The first one is the angle, which represents the angle of the color we have. In this case, it’s sky blue. Once we have the angle, we can start tweaking the saturation and brightness as per our needs. ( Large preview) Saturation The colour bar should be perceptually uniform to prevent data distortion and visual error. This means the perceptual colour differences between all neighbouring colours should appear the same. If two neighbouring colours have a different variation compared to other neighbouring colours (e.g., two greenish versus two yellowish-reddish colours in rainbow colour maps), the colour bar is perceptually non-uniform and not scientific (as shown in Fig. 4). This book is a call to build lighter. As a result of the rush to ever bigger cars, condos and airplanes, Dutch writers Adriaan Beukers and Ed van Hinte were forced to confront the combination of the growing costs of converting sufficient amounts of energy for production, distribution and waste disposal and the decreasing availability of raw materials. Beyond their call to build lighter, however, the authors give practical advice for doing so. Add real tactile texture to your design by embossing a texture to paper. This way, you have the chance to create a memorable piece that will certainly stand out from the crowd. Stylistically, it is not ideal to blend multiple textures in a design (unless necessary) as it can be overwhelming for the viewer.
