Building electrification is the movement to shift building operational energy use from fossil fuels toward electricity. It has been pursued mainly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions sector. We present here ten questions concerning electrification, and attempt answer them in context of existing literature. Our span dimensions policy, life cycle impacts on environment, technological advances challenges, indoor outdoor air quality, health, economics, social-behavioral factors. find that...
Future climate change can cause more days with poor air quality. This could trigger alerts telling people to stay inside protect themselves, potential consequences for health and equity. Here, we study the in US quality over this century due fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), who they may affect, how respond. We find increase by 1 mo per year eastern United States 2100 quadruple on average. They predominantly affect areas high Black populations leakier homes, exacerbating existing...
Current research indicates that the lungs are not sterile and maintain their own unique microecological balance, which can be disrupted by mechanical ventilation.One-lung ventilation (OLV) induces ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in non-ventilated lung, a common contributor to acute lung during perioperative period. This study investigates alterations pulmonary microbiome following one-lung thoracoscopic lobectomy evaluates impact of differential microbiota on inflammatory responses....
Unraveling the relationships between archaea and factors influencing their diversity distribution is a critical issue in marine ecosystems. Here, archaeal community structure 0 - 20 cm soils from freshwater influenced wetlands (FIW), flooding underground seawater (MIW) (SIW) Yellow River Nature Reserve were examined utilizing high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Based on comparison alpha indices, abundance with varying hydrologic conditions did not significantly change ( p...
With a growing emphasis on indoor air quality (IAQ) in educational environments, CO2 monitoring classrooms has become commonplace. data can be used to estimate outdoor change rate (ACH) based the mass balance principle, which further linked human health, performance, and building energy consumption. This study novel machine learning method automatically segment concentration time series into build-up, equilibrium, decay periods, then estimated classroom ACH using corresponding equations....
High-efficiency filtration in residential forced-air heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems protects equipment can reduce exposure to particulate matter. Laboratory tests provide a measure of the nominal efficiency, but they may not accurately reflect situ efficiency filters because variations system conditions changes filter performance over time. The primary focus this paper is evaluate effective which inclusive any loading impacts, 21 occupied homes through in-duct...
Filters in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are the most prevalent air cleaning method residential environments North America. This study evaluated long-term impact of filtration on indoor particle concentrations by examining concentration measurements from low-cost monitors over one year twenty homes Toronto, Ontario, Canada. These results suggested that general, had a similar seasonal trend as ambient concentration, activities (e.g., cooking) elevated levels for...
Due to the frequent water exchange and turbulence between Poyang Lake Yangtze River, measured runoff hydrograph at Hukou outlet control station is unable be directly used in hydrological model calibration. As a result, rainfall relationship budget analysis regions an unsolved problem so far. In this study, basin area analogue methods was modified Hukou, multiple-input single-output system derive intervening runoff. The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) distributed based on different types...
Patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) typically have poor prognoses, and predicting survival is challenging. The present study aimed to identify prognostic factors of overall (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients MPE the time immunotherapy targeted therapy.Data 344 consecutive NSCLC on clinical, radiological, molecular characteristics treatment options were collected. risk training cohort assessed using univariate multivariate proportional hazards analyses. A clinical...
Particle filters are used in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to protect equipment reduce exposure airborne particles. Filtration standards such as ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2 evaluate filter performance a laboratory setting. In this work, we examined the lab-tested of new with different nominal efficiencies determined by ASHRAE compared these results in-situ deployed 21 occupied residential environments. The comparison shows that dust loading conditioning procedure...
Public Health Ontario (PHO) is mandated by legislation to share scientific advice during infectious disease outbreaks and help reduce health inequities in Ontario, Canada. PHO was founded part address the failures of Ontario's public system 2003 outbreak SARS-CoV-1, which included failure airborne transmission. By January 2021, authorities had access a body literature suggesting SARS-CoV-2 airborne, received urgent warnings from scientists. We set out document how responded likelihood – and,...
Abstract Background This present retrospective single center study was intended to investigate the factors associated with acute radiation oral mucositis or dermatitis during hypopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy.Methods From May 2012 December 2018, previously untreated 93 patients squamous cell received radiotherapy in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled. Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) scoring criteria used for assessing severity toxicities. Patients...
