Contaminant transport by human passage through an air curtain separating two sections of a corridor: Part I -- uniform ambient temperature [PDF]
Air curtains are commonly used as separation barriers to reduce exchange flows through an open-door of a building.Here, we investigated the effectiveness of an air curtain to prevent the transport of contaminants by a person walking along a corridor from a dirty zone into a clean zone.

Oil price shocks, road transport pollution emissions and residents' health losses in China [PDF]
China's rapid economic growth resulted in serious air pollution, which caused substantial losses to economic development and residents' health. In particular, the road transport sector has been blamed to be one of the major emitters. During the past decades, fluctuation in the international oil prices has imposed significant impacts on the China's road

Identification of inhibitors of the Salmonella FraB deglycase, a drug target
A high‐throughput screen was used to identify inhibitors of Salmonella FraB, a drug target. Characterization of top hits (identified after an additional counter screen) revealed that some triazolidines, thiadiazolidines, and triazolothiadiazoles are mixed‐type inhibitors of FraB.

A heuristic algorithm for the Air Transport Unit Consolidation Problem [PDF]
Consolidation of loose packages into transport units is a fundamental activity offered by logistics service-providers. Moving the transport units instead of loose packages is faster (with one movement only, multiple packages are loaded instead of having one load operation for each package), safer (chances of damage and loss is reduced) and cheaper. One

Agent-based modelling of air transport demand [PDF]
Constraints such as opening hours or passenger capacities influence travel options that can be offered by an airport and by the connecting airlines. If infrastructure, policy or technological measures modify transport options, then the benefits do not ...

Alkane biosynthesis gene expression and its increased production in recombinant cyanobacteria
The transcription and mRNA structures of the alkane biosynthesis genes ado/aar were analysed in the representative cyanobacteria PCC 6803 and SK1‐2‐1, which produce C17H36 and C15H32, respectively. PCC 6803 transconjugants carrying these genes showed a 1.8‐ to 2.3‐fold increase in C17H36 production.
