The compound impacts of heatwaves and power outages pose a serious indoor heat-related health risk for residents living in disadvantaged communities (DACs) with limited or no air conditioning. In this study we selected 13 heat vulnerable multifamily buildings El Monte, Los Angeles County, employed CityBES to evaluate their energy thermal resilience performance. A retrofit package seven passive low-power active measures—cool roof, cool wall, window solar film, sealing, internal blinds,...
Anthropogenic heat (AH), i.e., waste from buildings to the ambient environment, increases urban air temperature and contributes island effect, which leads more air-conditioning energy use higher associated during summer, forming a positive feedback loop. This study used bottom-up simulation approach develop dataset of annual hourly AH profiles for 1.7 million in Los Angeles (LA) County year 2018 aggregated at three spatial resolutions: 450 m, 12 km, census tract. Building exhibits strong...
The urban microclimate is essential for accurate simulation-based building energy modelling (UBEM). However, a high spatial-resolution can increase the computational resources demands of UBEM. Surrogate one promising approaches fast This study proposes bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based approach UBEM surrogate modelling. estimations are aggregated into census tracts using total floor area. A case to estimate annual hourly use and anthropogenic heat from all existing buildings...
Uniform and single-crystalline tellurium (Te) nanorods with high aspect ratio (≈20) are prepared via a cylindrical polymer brush-assisted method in THF at room temperature. These rods well dispersed stable solution. Te by this successfully used as template to assemble inorganic (Te or Fe3O4) nanoparticles on the nanorod surface form / Fe3O4 nanoparticle complex structure (see figure). Supporting information for article is available WWW under...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety baricitinib (BAR) add-on therapy for refractory or severe juvenile dermatomyositis (rsJDM) in a practical, real-world setting. In single-centre retrospective study, 27 children with rsJDM poor response corticosteroids (CS) immunosuppressants were treated BAR. Disease activity assessed via physician global assessment overall disease (PhyGloVAS), childhood myositis scale (CMAS), manual muscle testing-8 (MMT-8),...
We study bottle-brush macromolecules in a good solvent by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), static light (SLS), and dynamic (DLS). These polymers consist of linear backbone to which long side chains are chemically grafted. The contains about 1600 monomer units (weight average) every second unit carries with approximately 60 units. SLS SANS data extrapolated infinite dilution lead the form factor polymer that can be described terms wormlike chain contour length 380 nm persistence 17.5...
Buildings account for 40% of the energy consumption and 31% CO2 emissions in United States. Energy retrofits existing buildings provide an effective means to reduce building carbon footprints. A key step retrofit planning is predict effect various potential on consumption. Decision-makers currently look simulation-based tools detailed assessments a large range options. However, simulations often require characteristic inputs, high expertise, extensive computational power, presenting...
Abstract Nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) are widely used for antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), but real-world data on treatment patterns and long-term clinical outcomes not always available. Using from electronic medical records between January 2011 December 2016 Shanghai, China, we evaluated patient characteristics, CHB. There were 6688 the study cohort. The incidences of cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) 41.0‰ 6.8‰ person-years, respectively. more HCC cases...
Objective: To explore the prognostic value of log odds positive lymph nodes (LODDS) in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNET) and to develop nomograms based on LODDS for predicting 1-year, 3-year, 5-year overall survival (OS) cancer-specific (CSS). Methods: This retrospective cohort study was Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) Program. Demographic data, clinical status were extracted, endpoints OS CSS. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression...
A change-point (piecewise linear regression) model fitted to the pre-retrofit data as counterfactual for savings calculation, is considered be best approach evaluating energy of building retrofits ( ASHRAE Guideline 14). However, when applied a large portfolio analysis with substantial multi-year data, does not fit well in some cases. The study thus aims improve accuracy changepoint by: 1) using more advanced non-linear models, 2) incorporating additional input features, and 3) increasing...
Weather data at nearby airports are usually used in building energy simulation to estimate use buildings or evaluate design retrofit options. However, due urbanization and geography characteristics, local weather conditions can differ significantly from those airports. This study presents the visualization of 10-year hourly measured 27 sites San Francisco, aiming provide insights into urban microclimate heat island effect Francisco how they evolve during recent decade. The simulations...
