Ventilation rates and thermal comfort assessment in a naturally ventilated classroom

, 2016
Ventilation systems are meant (i) to guarantee good indoor air quality (IAQ) by providing and distributing fresh air to the occupied/breathing zone and (ii) to dilute and remove pollutants emitted by indoor sources. On the other hand, inadequate ventilation rates can induce discomfort issues and excessive energy consumption.

Climate Change is Rewriting the Hydroclimatic Operating Envelope of Mines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change is shown to shift the hydroclimatic operating envelope of mines: 16.2% of represented mine locations have already changed Köppen subtype, rising to 42.5% by late century under SSP5‐8.5. Divergent water trajectories are filtered through geology, infrastructure and lifecycle stage, indicating that adaptation requires monitored, scenario ...

Aged ZnO Nanoparticles Promote Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis by Remodeling the Pulmonary Microenvironment Through the CXCL10/Wnt/β‐Catenin Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In summary, pulmonary exposure to ZnO NPs, particularly aged NPs, promotes breast cancer metastasis by remodelling the lung tumour microenvironment. Aged ZnO NPs enrich M2‐macrophages, MDSCs and activated CAFs to form an immunosuppressive metastatic niche. CXCL10 from these cells drives metastasis via Wnt/β‐catenin activation.

Ultrasound‐Triggered piRNA Delivery Using Biomimetic Phase‐Changeable Nanoparticles for Theranostics of Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic ultrasound‐responsive piRNA delivery nanoparticle platform (piR‐NPs) enables targeted delivery and ultrasound (US)‐triggered release of piR‐1873 in infarcted myocardium. The released piR‐1873 suppresses Usp2‐mediated RIP1/RIP3/MLKL necroptosis, reduces myocardial injury and fibrosis, and promotes cardiac functional recovery, providing a ...

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

The use of impulse ventilation to control pollution in underground car parks

, 2009
The ventilation of underground car parks is important to avoid health problems with the inhalation of combustion products released by car engines, in special CO (that is commonly used as the indicator of indoor air quality).

Development of Versatile Nanoparticle System for Efficient Drug Delivery into Pulmonary Endothelium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) suppresses the FOXF1 transcription factor and disrupts lung development. This study shows that the FOXF1‐activating small‐molecule compound, TanFe[F], can be precisely delivered to lung endothelial cells using the innovative LEDD nanoparticle system.

PDHA1 Hyperactivation‐Mediated Glucose Metabolism Reprogramming Fuels Neutrophil NETosis and Promotes Acute Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During NETosis, neutrophils shift metabolically toward enhanced OXPHOS and partially reduced glycolysis. This shift is driven by PDHA1 hyperactivity‐dependent selective metabolic reprogramming. The neutrophil‐targeted nanoparticle 3‑FP‑BSA NPs effectively inhibit NETosis and attenuate ALI.

Quenching Photo‐Induced Free Radicals Endows Superomniphobic Atmospheric Water Harvesting Hydrogels With UV Resistance for Durable Bifacial Photovoltaic Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hygroscopic hydrogel layer functionalized with fullerene C60 tackles heat and dust challenges in bifacial photovoltaics (PV) panels. It resists soiling and photo‐aging, maintains high transparency, absorbs water vapor from the air during the night, and delivers strong evaporative cooling power during daytime, significantly lowering PV panel ...
