Development of Hierarchical Classification System for University Building Energy Influential Factors and Construction of Prediction Matrix [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
University campuses represent complex facilities with diverse building types exhibiting distinct energy consumption patterns. However, current evaluation systems fail to account for building-specific operational characteristics, operating schedules ...

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 precision livestock farming technologies has the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from beef production

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5°C, significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions will be needed across all sectors.

Review of techniques for identifying the chemical composition of Aluminium Composite Cladding cores

Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2019
The Grenfell disaster of June 14, 2017 brought into sharp focus the dangers posed by combustible façade materials. Polyethylene core panelling has been implicated in numerous fires such as The Address Downtown, the Saif Belhasa in Dubai and the Lacrosse

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+.

The impacts of precision livestock farming tools on the greenhouse gas emissions of an average Scottish dairy farm

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Precision livestock farming (PLF) tools are increasingly used in daily herd management to improve health, welfare, and overall production. While not intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on farm, PLF tools can do so indirectly by improving ...

A comparative study of benchmarking approaches for non-domestic buildings: Part 1 – Top-down approach

, 2013
Benchmarking plays an important role in improving energy efficiency of non-domestic buildings. A review of energy benchmarks that underpin the UK’s Display Energy Certificate (DEC) scheme have prompted necessities to explore the benefits and limitations ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

On Convex Subcomplexes of Spherical Buildings and Tits’ Center Conjecture [PDF]

, 2009
In this thesis we study convex subcomplexes of spherical buildings. In particular, we are interested in a question of J. Tits which goes back to the 50’s, the so-called Center Conjecture.
