Human pathogenic bacteria on high-touch dry surfaces can be controlled by warming to human-skin temperature under moderate humidity.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Healthcare-associated infections have become a major health issue worldwide. One route of transmission of pathogenic bacteria is through contact with "high-touch" dry surfaces, such as handrails.

Heating of external surfaces by means of heat pumps

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
In winter we are forced to eliminate or mitigate the disadvantages associated with the accumulation of snow and ice on sidewalks, steps, driveways, roofs, squares, sports fields.

Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated food allergy and the role of allergen‐specific B cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Food allergy arises when allergen‐specific B cells preferentially produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against harmless foods. This article explains the mechanisms driving IgE‐mediated reactions, highlights the central role of these B cells, and discusses how natural tolerance (NT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) can reshape allergic immune responses.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Forced heat loss from body surface reduces heat flow to body surface [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2010
Heat stress is commonly relieved by forced evaporation from body surfaces. The mode of heat stress relief by heat extraction from the periphery is not clear, although it reduces rectal temperature. Radiant surface temperature (Ts) of the right half of the body surface was examined by thermovision in 4 lactating Holstein cows (30 kg of milk/d) during 7 ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Numerical Study on Thermal Deviation of High-Temperature Heating Surfaces in a Tangentially Fired Boiler Under Peak Load Regulation

open access: yesEnergies
The inherent residual swirl at the furnace outlet of tangentially fired boilers induces severe thermal deviations on high-temperature heating surfaces. To reveal the evolutionary patterns of thermal deviation during peak regulation operation, this study ...

Analyses of Urban Pavement Surface Temperatures

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2015
Heat islands are areas that have higher air temperatures than their surroundings. It has been proven that the use of certain types of pavement surface materials contributes to the occurrence of heat islands.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

Numerical Simulation of Pool Boiling on Novel Microstructured Heated Surface

open access: yesEnergies
Improving the pool boiling heat transfer by changing the properties of the heating surface has been experimentally studied by many researchers. In this paper, two novel microstructured surfaces with open channels were simulated and investigated.
