Using infrared thermography for monitoring thermal efficiency of buildings - case studies from Nottingham Trent University [PDF]

, 2010
Global warming and the continuous increase of energy cost are driving the need for reducing energy consumption. Buildings are responsible for approximately 50% of the UK energy consumption.

A geometric construction of panel-regular lattices in buildings of types ~A_2 and ~C_2

, 2010
Using Singer polygons, we construct locally finite affine buildings of types ~A_2 and ~C_2 which admit uniform lattices acting regularly on panels.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Optimizing power sources for smart building sensors: a comparative study of LiSOCL2 batteries under controlled discharge profiles

Frontiers in Built Environment
Lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCl2) batteries are pivotal in enabling long-term, maintenance-free operation of smart building sensor networks due to their superior energy density, exceptional shelf life, and reliability in extreme environments.

A Method toward Real-Time CFD Modeling for Natural Ventilation

Fluids, 2018
Natural ventilation is often used as a passive technology to reduce building energy consumption. To leverage the rule-based natural ventilation control to more advanced control at multiple spatial scales, mathematical modeling is needed to calculate the ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Adoption of dynamic simulation for an energy performance rating tool for Korean residential buildings : EDEM-SAMSUNG [PDF]

, 2009
Currently, there is a high emphasis on reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions of buildings worldwide. Korea is facing an emerging issue of energy savings in buildings in perspective of new green economic policy.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Multiobjective Energy Optimization Strategy for Source–Load–Storage Coordination in Intelligent Buildings Considering User Satisfaction

International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems
As the proportion of building energy consumption in total energy consumption continues to rise, traditional energy scheduling strategies and building load regulation methods are improved to reduce energy consumption and enhance the flexibility of ...
