Investigation of performance parameters of building thermal battery [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The concept of a building thermal battery refers to storing the supplied heat and releasing it the another time through radiation and convection. The introduction of building thermal battery performance has created a more convenient solution to the ...

Isolation and function of a human endothelial cell C1q receptor
Mediators of Inflammation, 1993 It has been shown previously that cultured human venous and arterial endothelial cells (EC) bind C1q in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Cultured human endothelial cells express an average number of 5.2 × 105 binding sites/cell.

Collapse simulation of a typical super-tall RC frame-core tube building exposed to extreme fire [PDF]
, 2015 The previous fire accidents proofed that reinforced concrete (RC) structures may experience progressive collapse subjected to extreme fires. In consequence, the study on the extreme fire-induced progressive collapse of RC structures is important for the ...

Energy saving analysis of a transparent radiative cooling film for buildings with roof glazing
Energy and Built Environment, 2021 A transparent radiative cooling (T-RC) film with low transmittance in solar spectra and selectively high emissivity in the atmospheric window (8–13 μm) is applied on roof glazing for building energy saving.

Experimental Quantification on the Residual Seismic Capacity of Damaged RC Column Members
International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2019 To quantify the post-earthquake residual seismic capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) column members, experimental data for 6 column specimens with flexural, flexural–shear and shear failure modes are used to derive residual seismic capacity of damaged ...

Antioxidants and mucosa protectives: realistic therapeutic options in inflammatory bowel disease?
Mediators of Inflammation, 1998 Oxidative damage is involved in the pathogenic process of idiopathic chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Although specific intervention in the oxidative cascade showed promising results in animal models and preliminary patient trials, the clinical ...

Design and Assessment Spectra for Retrofitting of RC Buildings
Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2010 This article presents a novel approach for deriving Retrofit Design Spectra (RDS) that are intended for use in preliminary development and assessment of seismic upgrading scenarios of existing structures. The new spectral representation relates the characteristics of the intervention method chosen as the core of the upgrading strategy, with the ...
