Making Heat Visible: Promoting Energy Conservation Behaviors Through Thermal Imaging [PDF]
, 2014 Householders play a role in energy conservation through the decisions they make about purchases and installations such as insulation, and through their habitual behavior. The present U.K.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

The effect of thermal transience on the perception of thermal comfort
Physiology & Behavior, 2019 The present study tested the hypothesis that at any given ambient temperature (Ta), thermal comfort (TC) is not only a function of the temperature per se, but is also influenced by the temperatures rate of change and direction.Twelve healthy young (age: 23 ± 3) male participants completed experimental trials where Ta increased from 15° to 40 °C ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Synergistic Electric and Thermal Effects of Electrochromic Devices
Micromachines, 2022 Electrochromic devices are the preferred devices for smart windows because they work independently of uncontrollable environmental factors and rely more on the user’s personal feelings to adjust actively.

Thermal Transport Across Graphene Step Junctions [PDF]
, 2018 Step junctions are often present in layered materials, i.e. where single-layer regions meet multi-layer regions, yet their effect on thermal transport is not understood to date. Here, we measure heat flow across graphene junctions (GJs) from monolayer to

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
