Impact of roof shape on air pressure, wind flow and indoor temperature of residential buildings
The aim of this study is to investigate different roof shapes with respect to air flow and indoor temperature in order to find efficient roof shapes for residential buildings in Tehran, Iran. First, an analytical model is defined and then various roof types are modelled. Theoretical modelling is presented to assess the accuracy of the measurement procedures and the uncertainty of experimental mode
Natural ventilation performance of ancient wind catchers, an experimental and analytical study - case studies: one-sided, two-sided and four-sided wind catchers
An experimental and analytical method has been applied to evaluate air flow pattern in three main kinds of Iranian traditional wind catchers. Results indicate that ARDAKANI wind catcher with one opening is not an efficient device, and airflow average rate in its shaft is negative. It means that one-side wind catcher has a high rate air extract specially in summer and spring which air supply is dem
Trade and the Euro: Effects on Bystanders
This article investigates trade effects of the euro focusing on the impact on bystanders. We use data for Swedish firms and examine the impact on exporting firms’ intensive and extensive margins of trade. Our result shows an overall increase in Swedish firms’ exports to the euro area after the introduction of the single currency, indicating that the euro has decreased trade costs also for outsider
Surface roughness and sub-surface deformation measurements in machining of niobium
Single-phase niobium is used in superconducting accelerator components in particle accelerating facilities. Functionality of such accelerator components is placing high demands on the surface quality. Single-phase niobium, as opposed to niobium alloys, is a highly ductile metal, which in a cutting process normally leads to such surface defects as adhesion, built-up edges, side flow, and burr forma
Investigating Condensation Role in Defects and Moisture Problems in Historic Buildings, Case study : Varamin Friday mosque in Iran
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate moisture problems and defects which have been caused by condensation in historic buildings. Emphasis has been put on finding condensation possibility on the external walls and inside temperature and humidity.Design/methodology/approach – A third-part study including survey method to identify moisture problems and exhaustion, then determining in
The strategy of piking a target : What is aktually most effective?
Breast and gynecologic cancers harboring PIK3CA mutations showed no significant responses to AZD5363, a pan-AKT catalytic inhibitor, in contrast with previous in vitro data showing activity of the drug in this subset of cancers. These results raise the question of how to select the most accurate predictive biomarkers of response.
Towards prevention of breast cancer : What are the clinical challenges?
The dramatic increase in breast cancer incidence compels a paradigm shift in our preventive efforts. There are several barriers to overcome before prevention becomes an established part of breast cancer management. The objective of this review is to identify the clinical challenges for improved breast cancer prevention and discuss current knowledge on breast cancer risk assessment methods, risk co
CD103 + CD11b + mucosal classical dendritic cells initiate long-term switched antibody responses to flagellin
Antibody responses induced at mucosal and nonmucosal sites demonstrate a significant level of autonomy. Here, we demonstrate a key role for mucosal interferon regulatory factor-4 (IRF4)-dependent CD103 + CD11b + (DP), classical dendritic cells (cDCs) in the induction of T-dependent immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) responses in the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) following systemic imm

Determining the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a stroke instructional and educational DVD in a multinational context : a randomized controlled pilot study
Objective: To assess the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial of an instructional and educational stroke DVD and determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of this intervention in a multinational context. Design: Non-funded, pilot randomized controlled trial of intervention versus usual care. Setting: International, multicentre, community-based. Participants: Community-l
Beyond compliance : Recognition, solidarity and minority rights in post-accession Estonia
Implementation of minority rights norms is an important step for integration. The ultimate aim of norm diffusion is internalization, that is, when a norm is being taken for granted. This article seeks to develop an understanding of socialization beyond formal compliance and suggests that material and ideational structures at both the elite and societal levels mutually reinforce one another. The fr
Treating hemophilia by targeting protein S?
In this issue of Blood, Prince et al report that by targeting anticoagulant protein S (PS), they could achieve hemostasis and prevent hemarthrosis in murine models of hemophilia.1
Projected performance of experimental InAs/GaAsSb/GaSb TFET as millimeter-wave detector
Based on measurements of a vertical nanowire InAs/GaAsSb/GaSb tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) that exhibited minimum subthreshold swing of 48 mV/dec and a record high I60 of 0.31 μA/μm, a SPICE model has been generated to allow an experimentally-based prediction of the nanowire TFET technology. At 30 GHz the detector has been simulated to reveal a sensitivity of 4.8 kV/W biased near zero
Genetic Determinants of Circulating Estrogen Levels and Evidence of a Causal Effect of Estradiol on Bone Density in Men
Context: Serum estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) levels exhibit substantial heritability.Objective: To investigate the genetic regulation of serum E2 and E1 in men.Design, Setting, and Participants: Genome-wide association study in 11,097 men of European origin from nine epidemiological cohorts.Main Outcome Measures: Genetic determinants of serum E2 and E1 levels.Results: Variants in/near CYP19A1 de

Preface
Bridging the prosperity gap in the EU : The social challenge ahead
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the authors invaluably pinpoint both overarching problems and possibilities associated with the social dimension of European integration. Prominent researchers of economics, law and political science tackle this complex issue, providing new solutions within their respective fields of expertise. Illustrating the importance of cohesion, this book is vital for th
Sanctuary practices in scandinavian transnational cities : The case of public libraries
The article explores sanctuary practices within public institutions by examining instances where public libraries in Denmark (Copenhagen), Norway (Oslo) and Sweden (Malmo and Stockholm) open up their services for persons who lack residence permits on state territory (so-called irregular migrants). Public libraries are understood to be protected public spheres where the right to information and the
