Dynamics of apartment building renovation investment costs based on Estonian reovation grant scheme
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 While energy prices have increased substantially recently, we also observe that renovation prices have increased twofold wihtin last decade. This could seriously affect the motivation to invest in building renovations because of negative yield and in ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Implementing design requirements: the mitigating factor on construction cost understimation
, 2018 The construction project cost estimate has been viewed as a mere budgetary allocation, in which accuracy remains uncertain. Cost underestimation have negative construction to construction projects and have not been adequately explored with the objective

Multiobjective optimization model for scheduling of construction projects under extreme weather
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2016 Extreme weather significantly impacts construction schedules and costs and can be a source of schedule delays and budget overruns. A multi-objective optimization model, presented herein for the scheduling of construction projects under extreme weather ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

A primer in public policy for the construction industry [PDF]
, 2005 The purpose of this document is to introduce non-specialists to the discipline and practice of public policy, particularly in relation to the construction sector in Australia. In order to do this, a brief overview of Australia’s government structure, and
