Impact of loose-laid gravel on the pressure distribution over a flat roof

Advances in Wind Engineering
A series of large-scale wind tunnel tests were conducted to quantify the impact of loose-laid gravel on the pressure distribution over a flat roof. Measurements were presented for the pressure distribution over the surface of a flat roof on a square plan

Extent of Sinus Surgery Is Associated With Disease Control in Biologic Treated Type 2 Dominant CRS

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A greater benefit of biologics is observed after surgery in Type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the extent of surgery remains undefined in many studies. This study evaluated the extent of surgery on disease control in patients receiving biologics for refractory Type 2 dominant CRSwNP.

Early Endoscopic Repair of Traumatic Skull Base Dural Injuries: Challenging the Dogma of Conservative Management

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Traditional management of traumatic skull base dural injury has often favored observation and conservative therapy, despite the risk of delayed intracranial complications. This paradigm originated when operative intervention required craniotomy and carried significant morbidity.

Valorization of Post‐Consumer Waste From Metallized Flexible Packaging and Industrial EPM Waste: Development of Sustainable Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Post‐consumer metallized flexible packaging waste and industrial EPM waste are transformed into sustainable composites through mechanical recycling. The incorporation of 30 wt% EPM provides the most favorable balance between stiffness, ductility, and impact resistance, achieving 53.36 kJ/m2.

Polyurethane adhesives in flat roofs [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
It is necessary to stabilize individual layers of flat roofs, mainly because of wind suction. Apart from anchoring and surcharge, these layers can be secured by bonding. At present gluing is an indispensable and widely used stabilization method. On our market we can found many types of adhesives, most widely used are based on polyurethane.
