Influence of Botanical Origin on the Optical, Surface, and Nanomechanical Properties of Nanocellulose‐Based Films: A Comparative Study

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the processing and multiscale characterization of nanocellulose films from different botanical sources. ABSTRACT Although the influence of botanical origin on nanocellulose properties is well recognized, an integrated multiscale framework linking chemical composition, fractal surface descriptors, and nanomechanical behavior ...

Enhancing Daylight and Energy Efficiency in Hot Climate Regions with a Perforated Shading System Using a Hybrid Approach Considering Different Case Studies

Buildings
Direct sunlight causes glare and reduces indoor daylight quality, making shading systems essential. This study proposes and validates a perforated shading screen (PSS) to enhance daylighting and energy efficiency. A hybrid approach integrating parametric

Integrated simulation for (sustainable) building design : state-of-the-art illustration [PDF]

, 2001
Many buildings are still constructed or remodelled without consideration of energy conserving strategies or other sustainability aspects. To provide substantial improvements in energy consumption and comfort levels, there is a need to treat buildings as ...

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.
