Air Leakage of Joints Filled with Polyurethane Foam

open access: yesBuildings, 2019
Air leakage through the building envelope joints is usually one of the main reasons why airtightness targets are not achieved. The objective of this study was to analyse the air leakage of joints filled with polyurethane foam and its influencing factors.

On the viability of nearly zero energy buildings in the Mediterranean urban contexts

open access: yesAdvances in Building Energy Research, 2014
The aim of this paper is to study, evaluate and demonstrate the technical feasibility of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs) in the Mediterranean urban contexts. To achieve this purpose, the energy performance (EP) of selected typical residential buildings in the urban Athens area have been investigated in detail, in order to properly identify the ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Placing on the Market Modern Construction Products and Systems Contributing to Next Generation of Healthy, Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings

open access: yesMaterials Proceedings, 2023
In Europe, the construction sector currently generates more than a third of CO2 emissions. Moreover, residential buildings consume about 40% of the energy that we are able to produce. Construction product manufacturers implement innovative solutions that

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Assessing Efficiency and Environmental Performance of a Nearly Zero-Energy University Building’s Energy System in Norway

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Increasing awareness of climate issues in recent decades has led to new policies on buildings’ energy consumption and energy performance. The European Union (EU) directive 2010/31/EC, i.e., the energy performance of buildings directive (EPBD), is one of ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

How Vacancy of Dwellings Influences Energy Renovations of Multifamily Buildings

open access: yesEnergies
The European climate change mitigation agenda aims to decarbonise all buildings by 2050. However, many existing buildings may not remain operational by this time due to rapid urbanisation and population decline in various regions of Europe, potentially ...
