The Effect of Air Purification on the Indoor Air Quality in Habitable New Zealand Buildings

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
Particulate matter (PM) in indoor air, including fungal spores and bacteria, poses significant health risks, especially in poorly constructed and inadequately ventilated buildings that are prevalent in New Zealand. To maintain acceptable living conditions, there is a need to explore ways in which fungal and bacterial populations in habitable buildings ...

Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by

Performance of a geared dehumidifier

International Journal of Energy Research, 1997
The performance of a laboratory scale dehumidifier has been measured under controlled laboratory conditions, yielding a maximum dehumidifier specific moisture extraction rate (SMER d ) of 7.94 kg kW -1 h -1 at 50°C and 85% relative humidity. Although we are not aware of any published data on dehumidifier systems having higher SMER d , there appears ...

Effect of temperature on growth and development of rice weevil [Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)] on polished rice

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae), a major storage pest, cause both qualitative and quantitative losses of stored grains. Normally, chemical insecticide along with fumigation is practiced for the management, but it creates health hazards. So, this study investigates the effects of temperature and duration of exposure on rice weevils. Completely

Immunological Evaluation of PLLA/GO Scaffolds in Goat Mandibular Bone Regeneration

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
PLLA/GO scaffolds interact with bone tissue by modulating the immune response and promoting regeneration in goat mandibles. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses reveal progressive tissue organization, mineral deposition, osteoblastic activity, and angiogenesis over time.
