A mathematical model of rat proximal tubule and loop of Henle. [PDF]
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol, 2015 Proximal tubule and loop of Henle function are coupled, with proximal transport determining loop fluid composition, and loop transport modulating glomerular filtration via tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF). To examine this interaction, we begin with published models of the superficial rat proximal convoluted tubule (PCT; including flow-dependent ...

Natural Ventilation with Heat Recovery: A Biomimetic Concept
Buildings, 2015 In temperate countries, heat recovery is often desirable through mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR). Drawbacks of MVHR include use of electric power and complex ducting, while alternative passive heat recovery systems in the form of roof or
