Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Overall and Local Wind Loads on Post-Installed Elevator Shaft of Existing Buildings

Buildings, 2023
The glass curtain walls of post-installed elevator shafts in existing buildings can be damaged by local wind loads, and the serviceability of an elevator may be affected by excessive overall wind loads, especially in hurricane-prone areas.

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 Structural Diagnosis of Existing RC Buildings: The Role of Nondestructive Tests in the Case of Low Concrete Strength

Infrastructures, 2020
In the structural safety assessment process of existing structures, knowledge of the mechanical properties of the materials is key. Different experimental activities carried out on materials extracted from existing reinforced concrete buildings show a ...

Background to the Monolithicity Factors for the Assessment of Jacketed Reinforced Concrete Columns

Buildings, 2022
The paper presents the background to the expressions adopted in the new Eurocode 8—3 for jacketed reinforced concrete columns. These are based on the commonly adopted concept of monolithicity factors (ratios of resistance of the jacketed section to that ...

RETROFITTING OF AN EXISTING BUILDING INTO A GREEN BUILDING

International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2014
Retrofitting of an existing building into a green building taking into account the aspects of energy, water and materials along with cost considerations such that the occupant well-being, environmental performance and economic returns are improved. In the present project we have proposed to give credits to rate the chosen building for its various green

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

A Fast Method for Identifying Room Configurations from Unit Boundaries in Existing Residential Buildings

Buildings, 2023
Prediction of interior room layout from observations on the exterior boundaries of a unit is sometimes needed in cases of emergencies when unit entry is denied. Seeing that 3D laser scanners are becoming smaller, lighter, and easier to carry around, this

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
