Living wall systems have been widely recognized as one of the promising approaches for building applications due to their aesthetic value and ecological benefits. Compared with outdoor living systems, indoor (ILWS) play a more vital role in air quality. The aim this study is investigate effects ILWS on In an office building, two parallel corridors were selected comparative groups. A 10.6 m2 was...

see through the wall radar, is a relatively new small range radar that uses electromagnetic waves to detect targets behind wall. because of its symmetry, a conducting sphere is often used as a reference scatterer to calibrate radars. in this paper, to simulate received signal for see through the wall radar, scattering model of a conducting sphere in free space is presented. then using a dielect...

Poor indoor quality affects people’s health and well-being. Phytoremediation is one way in which this problem can be tackled, with living walls being a viable option for places limited space. The aim of study was to evaluate the efficiency five plant species wall remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) identify whether type pollutant has any influence. An enclosed chamber used add contaminants...

Blood pressure is regulated dynamically by arterial wall tensions in vivo, but the previous methods did not clarify their detailed mechanisms in living animals due to the lack of visualization technique. Thus we aimed to visualize cell kinetics during artery contractions processes by combining in vivo multi-photon imaging and photochemical reaction technique by laser injuries. We recently devel...

conclusions while rural living has a protective effect on nafld, marriage may be a potential risk factor for this condition. results we found that nafld had an inverse association with rural living in men (or = 0.513, 0.422 - 0.622, p value < 0.001) and women (or = 0.431, 0.345 - 0.539, p value < 0.001). furthermore, we determined that nafld had a direct association with marriage status for men...

Purpose: The number of residents in assisted living has rapidly increased, although these facilities still primarily serve people who can pay out of pocket. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs was authorized to provide this level of care for the first time in the Assisted Living Pilot Program (ALPP). We describe the residents and providers, comparing them across three facility types and oth...

In recent years, the improvement in surgical techniques have been greatly improved with the development of medical electronics. And yet, there remains many incidences in which the surgeon should use the classical techniques rather than the recently developed procedures. For example, when oozing or uncontrollable bleeding is encountered from injured organ in which ligation or suturing, applicati...

Background and Purpose There is little information on the distribution of atherosclerotic lesions of the extracranial carotid artery wall in free-living populations. The purpose of the present study was to describe the prevalence from 1987 through 1989 of extracranial carotid artery plaque and plaque with acoustic attenuation (shadowing) lesions in a general population of white and black adults...
