The present paper is the first comprehensive review of the integration of phase change
materials in building walls. Many considerations are discussed in this paper including physical …

Fungal mycelial by-products from fermentation industries present a considerable affinity for
soluble metal ions (eg Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb, Cr, Ag) and could be used in biosorption processes for …

Many computational approaches exist to estimate heating and cooling energy demand of
buildings at city scale, but few existing models can explicitly consider every buildings of an …

… If bond l connects i and j, nl or nij denotes the unit vector that points from i to j, normally to
the surfaces of both grains where the distance between them, hij , is the smallest. Rij is the …

We study the plane shear flow of a dense assembly of dissipative disks using discrete
simulation and prescribing the pressure and the shear rate. Those shear states are steady and …

Mycelial wastes of Rhizopus arrhizus, used in fermentation industries to produce lipases,
were studied for their ability to absorb various heavy metal ions (Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb). Chelation …

Background Sorafenib is the recommended treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular
carcinoma. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of sorafenib to that of selective …

Determining the form of key predator-prey relationships is critical for understanding marine
ecosystem dynamics. Using a comprehensive global database, we quantified the effect of …

Background Recurrent ventricular tachycardia among survivors of myocardial infarction with
an implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is frequent despite antiarrhythmic drug …

Background Guidelines recommend a trial of one or more antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter
ablation is considered in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, first-line ablation may be …
