Abstract Background The progression and recurrence are the fatal prognostic factors in glioma patients. However, therapeutic role potential mechanism of TRAF7 patients remain largely unknown. Methods RNA-seq was analysed with TCGA CGGA databases between tissues normal brain tissues. expression TRAF7, cellular senescence cell cycle arrest pathways lines detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), western blotting immunohistochemistry. interaction KLF4 determined Co-immunoprecipitation...
The building sector accounts for approximately 40% of total carbon emissions in China, which is crucial to achieving neutrality. Despite significant progress energy efficiency, the promotion Zero Energy Building (ZEB) technologies China remains its early stages. This research employs a mixed-method approach assess identified barriers from multiple stakeholder perspectives. A questionnaire survey was conducted rank significance barriers, while in-depth interviews provided further insights...
Microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCM) could be used for energy saving applications in buildings due to their relatively high storage capacities at constant temperature, which passively reduce peak cooling loads summer. In this study, poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (PMMA-MAA) was as a shell material fabricate MEPCM by crosslinking methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) through in-situ suspension-like polymerization method. The effects of initiator...
With the increase in application of solar PV systems, it is great significance to develop and investigate direct current (DC)-powered equipment buildings with flexible operational strategies. A promising piece building integrated PV-powered buildings, DC inverter heat pump systems often operate strategies either focused on power supply side or demand side. In this regard, aim study was strategy a system for an office system. Firstly, fluctuation demand-side load characteristics were...
Working in a standing posture is considered to improve musculoskeletal comfort and can help enhance office workers' performance the long term. However, there lack of quantitative, real-time measure that reflects on whether workers immediately become more concentrated work efficiently when they switch posture.To tackle this problem, study proposed number effective computer interactions could be used as indicator productivity whose primarily computer-based. Using metric, we conducted an...
This research focused on the development of MEPCMs for thermal energy storage in low carbon buildings with poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) shell. The experimental results showed that best MEPCM sample was prepared 1 wt% initiator and surfactant S-1DS. differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis has a latent heat 170 kJ/kg melting temperature 22.68 ℃. Meanwhile, core material contents encapsulation efficiencies were calculated according to measured DSC. Those two values PMMA-3 PMMA-5...
Abstract Background Fermented soya bean meal (FSBM) is believed to have improved nutritional qualities compared with (SBM) and also cheaper than protein concentration (SPC) fish (FM). Therefore, the present study was conducted compare effects of FSBM replacing SBM, SPC FM in diets on growth performance, serum biochemistry profile, short‐chain fatty acid concentrations digesta, intestinal mucosal enzyme activities, proinflammatory cytokine morphology weaned piglets. One hundred twenty...
Phase change energy storage materials have been recognized as potential energy-saving for balancing cooling and heating demands in buildings. However, individual phase (PCM) with single temperature cannot be adapted to different requirements. To this end, the concept of fabricating kinds microencapsulated PCM (MEPCM) combing them form a multiphase material (MPCM) multi-seasonal applications buildings has proposed. prove feasibility idea, three MEPCMs were fabricated used development...
Previous research has demonstred that microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) could significantly increase the energy storage density of solar thermal (TES) systems. Compared with traditional (PCMs), MEPCMs have many advantages since they can limit their exposure to surrounding environment, enlarge heat transfer area, and maintain volume as occurs. In this study, a new MEPCM for TES systems is developed by encapsulation paraffin wax poly (urea formaldehyde) (PUF). The experimental...
Mowing can facilitate the incorporation of cover crop shoots into soil and improve properties soils in apple orchards. This article evaluated how orchard responds to decomposition shoot residues three crops[native mixed herbs (NMS), red clover (RCS), ryegrass (RES)] terms microbial metabolism biomass, discussed relationships between responses chemistry. The chemical composition was analysed a buried bag experiment carried out simulate an orchard. results revealed significant differences...
