Analysis was based on digital modelling using validated lighting simulation tool. The study establishes itself on the premise that grey value of colour can be presumed to calibrate the luminous character of light. Also, it evaluates the impact of vertical and horizontal planar interior elements’ reflectance and its impact on LPD. This is done through different scenarios derived from the basecase. All derived scenarios were then confirmed to the established visual comfort standard. The results were collated to develop a colour chart.

Wolbachia mediated phenotypic effects are well characterized in solitary hosts, but effects in social hosts are unclear. The invasive pharaoh ant, Monomorium pharaonis, shows natural variation in Wolbachia infection between colonies and can be readily bred under laboratory conditions. We previously showed that Wolbachia-infected pharaoh ant colonies had more queen-biased sex ratios than uninfected colonies, which is expected to favor the spread of maternally-transmitted Wolbachia. Here, we further characterize the effects of Wolbachia on the short- and longer-term reproductive and life history traits of pharaoh ant colonies. First, we characterized the reproductive differences between naturally infected and uninfected colonies at three discrete time points and found that infected colonies had hi...

While early tests in international markets and the Indian stock market found that beta was able to explain variations in return, subsequent studies found that other variables were also important. This paper relates stock returns to the underlying behaviour of beta and five company attributes size, earnings yield, cash earnings yield, dividend yield and book to market ratio. Analysis of 158 stocks listed on the Bombay stock exchange from 1991–2002 and sub periods shows that stock returns are influenced by other variables in addition to the market factor. Beta was positively related to returns while size, E/P, D/P and B/M were negatively related to returns. The study indicates that risk is probably multidimensional and that significant factors vary with the period chosen for empirical analysis.
