Simulating Smoke Filling in Big Halls by Computational Fluid Dynamics

Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2011
Many tall halls of big space volume were built and, to be built in many construction projects in the Far East, particularly Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Smoke is identified to be the key hazard to handle. Consequently, smoke exhaust systems are

Neuid: A Novel Neuron‐Enriched LncRNA that Connects Epigenetic Gene Silencing to Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing evidence that non‐coding RNAs can become deregulated during pathogenesis is dramatically expanding the space for drug discovery beyond the protein‐coding genome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of cellular function, yet most remain uncharacterized.

3D finite element simulations of reinforced concrete elements exposed to fire [PDF]

, 2017
Fire could dramatically reduce strength of reinforced concrete elements and it is considered one of the major threats for the structural safety of buildings: structural members may even collapse due to intensity and duration of fire.
