For a sustainable building, the use of energy always concerns clients and designers. In this respect, UK national regulation on performance 'carbon' accounting has asked for greater consistency construction information to achieve CO2 emission target. Therefore, Clients Industry should work closely together in developing plans make transition low carbon buildings feasible order meet context, Building Information Modelling (BIM) can play key role addition its capability create more...
Background and Methods. This phase I, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study assessed the safety profile pharmacokinetics of a 4-week course once-daily, sequential ascending doses (0.75, 2.5, or 7.5 mg/day) SDZ-RAD (RAD) capsules in renal transplant recipients on stable regimen cyclosporine (CsA; Neoral®) prednisone. Results. RAD displayed similar spectrum side effects as observed with rapamycin, namely, an increased incidence infection associated augmented immunosuppression...
Maintenance is essential for long-term performance of any building. It enables the simultaneous retention value in a structure and contributes to country's gross domestic product. The efficacy maintenance interventions historic buildings can be assessed based on cost, conformity building conservation philosophy and, increasingly, environmental sustainability. Carbon energy savings are considered difficult achieve due limited retrofitting capability. one mechanism by which it may possible...
Abstract Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a cytokine secreted by stromal myofibroblasts and tumor cells, has recently been highlighted to promote progression in pancreatic other cancers through KRAS-driven cell signaling. We engineered high affinity soluble human LIF receptor (LIFR) decoy that sequesters inhibits its signaling as therapeutic strategy. This ‘ligand trap’, fused an antibody Fc-domain, ~50-fold increased (~20 pM) improved inhibition compared wild-type LIFR-Fc, potently blocks...
Massive investment has been allocated by the UK government to improve quality of its programme rented social housing over next five years. Central achievement this aim will be incorporation sustainability features within building projects associated with development programme. A sustainable policy that addresses environment, economy and society in equal measure is a new funding requirement for projects. There gap between practice two areas: (i) possession or otherwise (SD) policy; (ii)...
Purpose The selection of lime mortars for masonry structures can be an important component a repair or new build project. This is considered difficult due to the number variables consider during decision‐making process and perceived inherent complexity materials. purpose this paper discuss determining suitable natural hydraulic masonry. Design/methodology/approach presents conceptual practical framework determination construction structures, drawing building on relevant, literature existing...
Passivhaus methodology leads to buildings with very high thermal efficiency and levels of airtightness. The focus research in is energy performance. experience occupying a often overlooked. This takes into account social factors comfort among 'participants'; draws comparison between their expectations evaluations the 'perceived comfort'; investigates behavioural psychological adaptive processes that contribute this comfort'. A diverse range projects built past few years UK studied mixed...
Spasticity can have serious functional implications for children with neurological deficits. Lycra splints may be recommended by occupational therapists to manage spasticity and improve function. In this study, four deficits were assessed quality of upper limb movement while wearing not an lycra splint. Two participants diagnosed cerebral palsy long-term splint users. The other two had acquired brain injury commenced their during the intervention phase study. Using a single subject research...
Decreasing our demand for energy is an important component of the global effort to reduce carbon emissions. Energy consumption, both at home and in workplace, greatly influenced by human behaviour. Our research investigates how technological interventions could support behaviour-based reduction. This paper reports a Living Lab study on co-design device improving efficiency via behaviour change large public-sector organisation. We emphasise importance taking broad view organisational...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the risks building defects associated with rapid advancement “green” construction technologies. It identifies methods adopted by sector for determination pre-construction that are framed within context of, traditional; scientific; and professional design approaches. These critically evaluated utilised in attempts mitigate arising from diffusing low carbon innovations. Design/methodology/approach takes form an evaluative literature review....
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate prospectively the feasibility and accuracy using echocardiographic measurements by transesophageal intracardiac echocardiography (TEE ICE, respectively) for interatrial septal defect sizing during percutaneous transcatheter closure. Forty‐two patients underwent balloon defects TEE in 21 them ICE other half. These were correlated with quantitative fluoroscopic analysis evaluated bias agreement between methods a Bland‐Altman analysis....
Construction project teams require social capital. When present in appropriate forms, it creates the cohesion through which individuals accept goals as their own. It lets team members share knowledge when and reveal is missing. In education, learning helps students appreciate need for capital to performance. practice, enables that overcomes project-specific challenges. Despite this importance, little known about how perceive or compatibility of understanding with construction needs.To...
