THERMAL COMFORT CONDITIONS OF AN INDOOR SWIMMING POOL
, 2023 In this thesis, the thermal comfort and indoor conditions for an indoor swimming pool located in desert climate are investigated numerically. Such climate is characterized by very mild winters, and very hot and sunny summers such as in Qatar. A 17.6 m x 11.7 m indoor swimming pool was studied for an outdoor summer condition of 43.3 ℃ dry-bulb ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
