This study analyses moisture dry-out from a steel-faced insulated sandwich panel by forced convection. Moisture convection performance was studied laboratory tests and simulation. Two test walls with the lower parts close to free water level were in without In addition, real-scale wall built south orientate direction. Measurements also used for simulation model calibration. The hygrothermal sim...

The environmental benefits of green roofs have been widely recognized. In recent years, increasing attention has paid to moisture management in the roof systems. an influence on its thermal and hydrological performances. An accurate measurement water content substrate is important for irrigation monitoring, optimal management, plant growth. Knowing performance characteristics sensor chosen laye...

We tried to evaluate the carcinogenic risk of man-made mineral fiber based on the mesothelioma incidence in female F344 rats after intraperitoneal administration. Rats (female F344/ Nslc, 5-week-old, n=330) were observed for 2 years after the intraperitoneal administration of 5 to 20 mg of 9 types of the JFM (Japan Fibrous Material Research Association) standard fiber samples (glass wool, rock ...

Constructed wetlands could be improved with novel substrata to enhance the removal efficiency of micropollutants from wastewater and reduce spatial footprint. Use hydroponic like mineral wool, pumice, wood - coconut fibre is both for treatment, potentially suitable, due their hydraulic compatible texture. Since sorption a key process pollutants in constructed wetlands, this study investigates b...

In hydroponic cultivation of vegetables with a solid substrate, mineral wool predominates. The pro-ecological policy and consumers’ expectations cause an increase in interest organic substrates, which, when properly used, are less harmful to the environment. aim this study was determine effect reusing lignite substrate on growth, yield quality cucumber fruit physical parameters substrate. green...

Wool is an important material in textile manufacturing. In order to investigate the intrinsic factors that regulate wool follicle cycling and wool fiber properties, Illumina sequencing was performed on wool follicle bulb samples from the middle anagen, catagen and late telogen/early anagen phases. In total, 13,898 genes were identified. KRTs and KRTAPs are the most highly expressed gene familie...
