This book is a complete guide to make-up for film and television productions. As such, it emphasizes how make-up will look under the lighting systems that filming requires. Beyond that, however, it is useful to those doing make-up in stage productions as well. It begins with discussions of facial anatomy and of the tools in the make-up kit. Then…

Considerations for a classroom lighting system include the quality of the system in terms of improved seeability, operating efficiency, and energy savings. (Author/MLF)

Recent developments in the field of indirect lighting and the use of high intensity discharge light sources reveal that the most efficient lighting system can also be the most economical. (Author/MLF)

Challenged to prove the effectiveness of high pressure sodium lamps for an elementary school, lighting experts demonstrated the system and won the school board's unaminous approval. (Author)

The effects of classroom lighting methods on activity level, achievement, visual acuity/fatigue, and health of nonhandicapped and handicapped students are reviewed. Effects of different levels of illumination on behavior also are discussed. Methodological deficiencies and lack of replication have resulted in few tenable conclusions. (Author/CL)

Suggestions for economical and effective lighting that will contribute to overall productivity are offered by a vice-president of Bloomingdale's. (LBH)

Costs of leaving lights burning in unoccupied areas can be calculated and compared to cost of turning them off. (Editor)

Reviews the established effects of light on the human organism and concludes that sunlight simulating environmental lighting in schools will result in greater student and teacher comfort, health, and increased performance and/or working capacity. (Author/MLF)

A well-planned lighting maintenance program can provide more light for your money, better appearance of the lighting system, lower overall cost of light, and fewer accidents and better visibility for users of the school. (Author)

Effect of faulty starter switch on fluorescent lights is presented. (AL)

A lighting designer's solution to illuminating Lake Shore High School's swimming facility in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. (RG)

This article discusses why building commissioning for education institutions is needed. School facilities owners and operators should confirm whether their building systems are performing as expected. The more comprehensive the confirmation process, the greater opportunity there is for reducing operations and maintenance costs, and improving…

There has been a growing interest in understanding the computations involved in the processes underlying visual segmentation and interpolation in conditions of occlusion. P. J. Kellman, P. Garrigan, T. F. Shipley, and B. P. Keane and M. K. Albert defended the view that identical contour interpolation mechanisms underlie modal and amodal…

As part of a classroom-based research project, reflectance spectra from the skin of a group of teenage school students were recorded over a four-month period, from early spring to mid-summer. The relative changes in skin colour during the course of the study were quantified by integrating over the full wavelength range of the normalized…

The study describes and compares the size-dependent optical properties of organic dyes with those of semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs). The analysis shows that mixtures of QDs contain emission colors that are sum of the individual QD components.
