Modeling of outdoor natural ventilation and energy performance for buildings in an industrial park by Tan, Joel Heang Kuan.

“…The hotter air would then be more buoyant than the surrounding air thus gaining velocity and rise upwards. By having a double skin roof, the top roof would be heated causing air between both roofs to flow thereby causing convection. …”

Murine cd4+ T cell Responses are inhibited by cytotoxic T cell-mediated killing of dendritic cells and are restored by antigen transfer by Ma, Joel Zhi-Iong, Lim, So Nai, Qin, Jim Shixiang, Yang, Jianping, Enomoto, Noriyuki, Ruedl, Christiane, Ronchese, Franca

“…Residual CD4+ T cell proliferation was due to the transfer of antigen from carrier DC to host APC, and predominantly involved skin DC populations. Importantly, the proliferating CD4+ T cells also developed into IFN-γ producing memory cells, a property normally requiring direct presentation by activated DC. …”

Novel single-step hydrophobic modification of polymeric hollow fiber membranes containing imide groups : its potential for membrane contactor application by Zhang, Yuan, Wang, Rong, Zhang, Lizhi, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…Experiments reveal that the modification changed the membrane morphology and structure, resulted in surface pore opening and thinning down of the membrane skin layer. As a compromise between the membrane hydrophobicity and mechanical strength, 10–30 min were considered as appropriate modification times for the PAI membranes. …”

Perceptions of a Buruli ulcer controlled human infection model: How, who, and why? by Muhi, S, Schmidt, S, Marshall, JL, O’Brien, DP, Johnson, PDR, McCarthy, JS, Jamrozik, E, Osowicki, J, Stinear, TP

“…Background: Infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans causes slowly progressive skin lesions known as Buruli ulcer (BU). An M. ulcerans controlled human infection model (MuCHIM) is likely to accelerate our understanding of this otherwise neglected disease, and may be an efficient platform for testing vaccines and other interventions. …”

Hybrid nanofluid radiative flow across a permeable convective moving surface with heat generation: numerical and statistical approach by Wahid, Nur Syahirah, Mustafa, Mohd Shafie, Md Arifin, Norihan, Khashi’ie, Najiyah Safwa, Pop, Ioan

Al2O3-Cu hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in the duct with various triangular rib configurations by Togun, Hussein, Homod, Raad Z., Sultan Aljibori, Hakim S., Abed, Azher M., Alias, Hajar, Hussein, Ahmed Kadhim, Biswal, Uddhaba, Al-Thamir, Mohaimen, Mahdi, Jasim M., Mohammed, Hayder I., Ahmadi, Goodarz

“…Key findings include: (1) the 60° rib configuration produced the highest local heat transfer coefficient, with the maximum occurring at the rib centers. (2) Increasing nanofluid concentration and Reynolds number enhanced heat transfer but reduced skin friction. (3) The optimal performance was achieved with 2 vol.% Al2O3–Cu at Re = 60,000. (4) Velocity contours revealed larger recirculation zones for 60° ribs compared to 45° and 90° configurations. (5) Turbulent kinetic energy was highest for 60° ribs, contributing to enhanced thermal performance. …”

Simulation expectation by Thomas, T

“…I also consider to what extent the argument depends upon an internalist conception of evidence, and I refute the common line of thought that finding many simulations being run—or running them ourselves—must increase the odds that we are in a simulation.…”
