Techniques for measuring ventilation rate through naturally ventilated buildings
, 2013 The objective of this work was to develop both an accurate ‘reference’ measurement technique to determine ventilation rate through naturally ventilated buildings and a ‘practical’ direct measuring principle for online and continuous field measurements of ventilation rate through naturally ventilated sections. Using tracer-gas decay technique to analyse

Study of a Novel Bi‐Layered Thermoplastic Polyurethane Patch for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Large congenital diaphragmatic hernia remains a challenge due to the poor compatibility of current prostheses. To tackle this problem, a bilayer thermoplastic polyurethane patch with tunable mechanical properties is engineered, whose fibrous side supports rapid fibroblast and myoblast colonization, while the smooth film limits adhesions.

Non‐Invasive Multidimensional Capacitive Sensing for In Vivo Traumatic Brain Injury Monitoring
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Single‐electrode, multidimensional capacitive sensors noninvasively assess cerebral autoregulation and compliance for traumatic brain injury monitoring. ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability, but invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is risky, and current non‐invasive methods lack the resolution and ...
