Contextualising household water consumption patterns in England: A socio-economic and socio-demographic narrative

open access: yesCleaner and Responsible Consumption, 2023
Water utilities strive to achieve a sustainable reduction in per capita consumption (PCC) by optimising their peak demand management strategies. Socioeconomic (SE) and socio-demographic (SD) characteristics have been proven to correlate with PCC. However,

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

DATA DRIVEN RULE-BASED PEAK SHAVING ALGORITHM FOR SCHEDULING REFRIGERATORS [PDF]

open access: yesCarpathian Journal of Electrical Engineering
The increasing use of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) like refrigerators poses a significant challenge to the grid due to their potential to increase peak demand.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Optimizing PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems for Peak Demand Reduction and Cost Savings in Malaysian Commercial Buildings

open access: yes, 2023
This study proposes a technique to optimize the sizing capacities of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage (BES) systems in Malaysian commercial buildings to reduce peak demand and energy costs. Real-time hourly data on solar irradiance, air

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.
