Multifunctional building skin for ultra-low energy construction of residential properties and inside refurbishments of terraced houses

, 2014
An integral concept for industrialized manufacturing of residential properties is developed over the past years. The primary principle of the system is the building skin; here structure and a high level of insulation are merged into an ultra lightweight wall without thermal bridges. This composition is pointed to enable industrial manufacturing.

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...
