Computer Aided Modelling of Compartment Fires – an Overview [PDF]

Košická bezpečnostná revue, 2019
Several programme environments, computer models, have been developed and used in recent years to model the dynamic of internal fire. It is a very progressive approach, which has its application both in the design of fire safety of buildings, the ...

Reproductive and morphometric characteristics of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in the Czech Republic

Journal of Forest Science, 2011
Our study aimed to determine morphometric data for wild boar (Sus scrofa) in various areas of the Czech Republic and the potential influence of environment on its body measurements. Three localities with varying agricultural systems and overall landscape

Method for quantification of microplastic release from plastic-based materials during weathering

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
Most microplastics (MPs) are generated as a result of photodegradation during the life of plastic products and after the end-of-life as mismanaged waste.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic feedstocks improved by membrane separation

Drewno
Enzymatic hydrolysis is crucial in processing lignocellulosic biomass into valuable products in biorefineries. Due to the synergistic action of used enzymes the cellulose and hemicelluloses chains are digested into fermentable monosaccharides.

Phylogenetic Analysis of the PR-4 Gene Family in Euphorbiaceae and Its Expression Profiles in Tung Tree (Vernicia fordii)

Plants, 2023
Pathogenesis-related protein-4 (PR-4) is generally believed to be involved in physiological processes. However, a comprehensive investigation of this protein in tung tree (Vernicia fordii) has yet to be conducted.

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Thermal Protection and Combustion Behavior of Intumescent-Coated Cross-Laminated Timber in Encapsulated Sandwich Wall Assemblies Under Medium-Scale Radiant Exposure

Fire
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly used in multi-story timber construction, but its combustible nature requires reliable fire protection, particularly in layered wall assemblies with concealed cavities.
