The subjective and objective thermal comfort evaluations of adults preschoolers in radiant floor heating rooms a hot-summer cold-winter area are tested this article, the response two groups subjects analysed using differential analysis method. characteristics wearing winter clothing with resistance 1.02 clo maintaining sitting posture were studied at different locations office building indoor t...

This paper takes a graduate workshop in shenyang as the research object, and uses Airpak software to conduct numerical simulation analysis on air distribution thermal comfort of fan coil side supply mode winter. The measured temperature is 25°C, speed x direction for 0.8m / s, 1.5m s 2.3m three gears, from east west up back 3mode. With increase speed, working area gradually increases, wind incr...

Abstract The presented paper deals with the assessment of selected indoor environmental quality (IEQ) factors, specifically parameters thermal comfort and air (IAQ), in two buildings a modern office complex. Both are LEED certified. monitoring IEQ risk factors took place spaces (cell open-space offices) representative all occupied areas under operating conditions. results real measurements IAQ ...

In turbulent flows as in HVAC applications, the fluctuation of air speed can affect sensation thermal comfort. This study is a part larger experimental and numerical campaign intended to evaluate influence turbulence intensity at inlet distribution systems on local draft discomfort for different ventilation cases using simulations. For five imposed values (0%, 3%, 10%, 30%, 50%) heat loss body ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the immediate and long-term outcome of repeat percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMV) for post-PMV mitral restenosis. BACKGROUND Symptomatic mitral restenosis develop in 7% to 21% of patients after PMV. Currently, most of these patients are referred for mitral valve replacement. However, it is unknown if these patients may benefit fro...

Leptin acts via its receptor (LepRb) on specific CNS neurons to signal the adequacy of long-term energy stores, thereby permitting the expenditure of resources on energy-intensive processes such as reproduction. The ventral premammillary nucleus of the hypothalamus (PMv), which has been implicated in the stimulation of gonadotropin release by olfactory cues, contains numerous LepRb neurons, sug...

Coincident pairing of presynaptic and postsynaptic activity selectively strengthens synaptic connections, a key mechanism underlying cortical plasticity. Using paired associative transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we demonstrate selective potentiation of physiological connectivity between two human brain regions, ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and primary motor cortex (M1) after repeated p...

New switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) cultivars are being developed for use as a biofuel pyrolysis feedstock. Viral pathogens have been reported in switchgrass, but their importance in biofuel cultivars is not well known. In 2012 surveys of five switchgrass breeding nurseries in Nebraska, plants with mottling and stunting— symptoms associated with virus infection—had an incidence of symptomatic...
