Investigating the probability of behavioural responses to cold thermal discomfort [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy and Buildings, 2016
Abstract In buildings, occupant behaviour is recognised as a major contributing factor to energy demand and in particular to heating consumption. To achieve thermal comfort within the heating season, people report to use heat in very different ways; for example behaviours include switching on the heating system, putting on warm clothes, drawing ...

Multifunctional Manganese Oxide Nanocomposite Hydrogel With Synergistic Reactive Oxygen Species‐Scavenging, Oxygen‐Generating, Immunomodulatory, and Photothermal Antimicrobial Activities for Enhanced Diabetic Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CFP/PC@MnO2 hydrogel integrates ROS scavenging, oxygen delivery, oxidative stress reduction, immunomodulation, and photothermal antibacterial properties. The incorporation of PC@MnO2 NPs endows the hydrogel with multiple functional advantages tailored to the pathological microenvironment of diabetic wounds, including efficient ROS clearance, mitigation

Ultrathin Aluminum–Air Batteries via Hygroscopic Electrolytes for Continuous Operation of Imperceptible On‐Skin Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents ultrathin, high‐capacity aluminum‐air batteries (AABs) for self‐sustaining, skin‐conformal electronics. By utilizing ambient moisture and oxygen alongside a LiCl‐based hygroscopic hydrogel electrolyte, the design significantly reduces battery thickness while preventing dehydration and Al self‐corrosion.

Histidine Supplementation Stabilizes Hearing and Vision and Improves Growth in HARS1‐Related Autosomal Recessive Disorder Associated With Usher‐Like Symptoms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive HARS1‐related disorder (originally described as Usher syndrome type 3B) caused by a homozygous Y454S variant in the histidyl‐tRNA synthetase gene (HARS1) is characterized by progressive sensorineural hearing and vision loss and respiratory deterioration with risk for sudden death following febrile illnesses.

Enhancing Year-Round Thermal Comfort with Solar Control Films: A Solar-Adjusted and Spatial Assessment Considering Adaptive Clothing Behavior

open access: yesJournal of Daylighting
Windows significantly contribute to thermal discomfort in high solar irradiance climates by allowing excessive heat gains and uneven indoor temperatures. This study introduces a solar-adjusted analytical framework for evaluating year-round indoor thermal

Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...

The influence of thermal discomfort on the attention index of teenagers: an experimental evaluation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biometeorology, 2013
In order to measure the effect on the attention of teenagers of thermal discomfort due to high temperature and humidity, two experiments were conducted in two different indoor conditions of temperature and humidity in non-air-conditioned classrooms. The participants were a heterogeneous group of 117 teenagers, aged 12 to 18 years, and the experiments ...
