Environmental assessment schemes for non-domestic building refurbishment in the Malaysian context
Ecological Indicators, 2016 AbstractThe increase in global warming, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions has gained attention in various regions. In Malaysia, the government announced a voluntary commitment to reduce 40% of CO2 emissions by 2020 and to refurbish 100 government buildings.

Reducing CO2 emissions through refurbishment of non-domestic UK buildings [PDF]
, 2010 Recent research by the Tyndall Centre in the UK has suggested that a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions will be required by 2030 to mitigate the worst impacts of global climate change.

The serviceability of normal-use, non-domestic buildings in earthquakes
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2006 This paper reports on an empirical study of whether it is necessary to carry out design checks on the serviceability of normal-use non-domestic buildings in earthquakes in New Zealand. It is found that at the relevant hazard level, i.e. at a return period of 25 years, the highest intensity anywhere in New Zealand is Modified Mercalli VII (MM7). At that

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

Building energy use in COVID-19 lockdowns: did much change?
Buildings & CitiesThe lockdowns introduced to prevent the spread of COVID-19 had huge impacts, as people were largely confined to their homes. It could be expected that residential energy use would increase while non-residential decreased, however the picture is not so ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Pseudorabies virus (PRV), an emerging zoonotic α‐herpesvirus, causes life‐threatening human encephalitis. We identified a broad‐spectrum neutralizing antibody 6F7 targeting PRV gD. It blocks gD‐Nectin‐1 binding and membrane fusion, inhibiting replication across all PRV variants, representing a promising candidate for anti‐PRV therapy.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Low‐level ambient benzene exposure is associated with increased risks of multiple brain disorders in urban adults. Genetic susceptibility modifies these associations, while plasma proteomics points to potential biological pathways linking benzene exposure to adverse brain health.

Adsorption of Forever Chemical Pollutants: The Physical Chemistry of PFAS Near Surfaces
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Current adsorption‐based remediation techniques for removing per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water are limited by knowledge gaps on PFAS behavior near solid surfaces. This review provides a state of the art on theoretical and experimental aspects of PFAS adsorption.
