Application of Building Performance Simulation to Design Energy-Efficient Homes: Case Study from Saudi Arabia

open access: yesSustainability, 2019
The per capita energy usage in Saudi Arabia is almost three times higher than the global average. A major contributor is the residential sector which consumes almost 50% of the total national energy consumption every year.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Assessing building performance in residential buildings using BIM and sensor data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation, 2019
Purpose Buildings and their use is a complex process from design to occupation. Buildings produce huge volumes of data such as building information modelling (BIM), sensor (e.g.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

High-Performance Buildings

open access: yesInnovations: Technology, Governance, Globalization, 2009
enhancing economic growth, competitiveness, productivity, and quality of life. The construction industry in the United States contributes more than one trillion dollars to the yearly gross domestic product , but based on government statistics like those shown in Figure 1, it continues to stagnate or even lose productivity, unlike most other large-scale

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Adaptive Thermal Comfort Assessment in Residential Buildings Under Current and Future Mediterranean Climate Scenarios

open access: yesBuildings
This article presents a comparative evaluation of three established thermal comfort models (ISSO 74, ASHRAE 55, and EN 16798-1) in the context of residential buildings in Algiers, under current and projected Mediterranean climate conditions. By combining
