Passive Smoking in a Displacement Ventilated Room

open access: yes, 1997
The aim of this research is to see if the displacement ventilation principle can protect a person from exposure to passive tobacco smoking. This is done by full-scale experiments with two breathing thermal manikins, smoke visualisations, and tracer gas measurements. In some situations, exhaled smoke will stratify in a certain height due to the vertical

Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.

Optimizing passive design strategies in warm-humid climates: a holistic framework for green building rating systems

open access: yesRevista Hábitat Sustentable
Green Building Rating Tools (GBRTs) such as LEED, BREEAM, GRIHA, and WELL assess building sustainability but often overlook a standardized framework for evaluating passive design strategies, which are critical for energy efficiency and thermal comfort ...

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

New‐Generation Integrated Devices: Multiple‐Energy Utilization and Integration Systems Based on Perovskite Photovoltaics

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review highlights emerging integrated energy systems based on perovskite photovoltaics, including PSC–thermoelectric, photovoltaic–electrochemical, self‐charging, and building‐integrated architectures. By coupling multiple energy conversion and storage pathways, these multifunctional platforms enable enhanced solar utilization, improved stability,

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Thermal Analysis of Cells Behavior in Modular Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery System in Urban Electric Bus Fleet

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Real‐world analysis of lithium iron phosphate battery systems in electric buses shows minimal short‐term temperature impact on energy but significant long‐term degradation at higher temperatures. Efficient cooling and thermal uniformity are critical to prevent accelerated aging, maintain performance, and ensure safety under dynamic operating conditions.

A Review of Passive-Cooling Techniques for Buildings in Hot–Humid Climate Zones

open access: yesBuildings
Buildings in hot–humid climates experience increasing thermal stress due to urban heat islands and climate change, leading to greater reliance on air conditioning. Passive cooling is therefore a crucial low-carbon strategy for maintaining thermal comfort.

Trendelenburg positioning with or without norepinephrine infusion for haemodynamic support in anaesthetised hypovolemic horses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Intraoperative haemorrhage during equine anaesthesia is a rare but potentially fatal complication requiring prompt haemodynamic support. Postural manoeuvres such as Trendelenburg (TL) positioning and vasopressor support augment venous return and improve cardiac output (CO), yet their efficacy in anaesthetised hypovolemic horses ...
