Building performance simulation has been commonly used for performance-based building design.However, the simulation accuracy is closely related to the model and input parameters regarding the building physics and occupant behaviour.To check and improve the accuracy of the simulation, the model usually needs to be calibrated using measured data.Unc
Ali Kosh Lady and Her Artificially Modified Head: An Appraisal
We had the opportunity to examine the cranium of a young woman found at the metal sign well-known Neolithic site of Ali Koshon the Deh Luran plain in southwestern Iran.It has previously been claimed that her head shows traces of modification,a practice which can be termed as either cultural or artificial cranial modification.Here, we describe sever
Coagulome and tumor microenvironment: impact of oncogenes, cellular heterogeneity and extracellular vesicles
Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) results from the hemostatic system being dysregulated by the progression of cancer.Despite common clinical manifestations, the mechanisms of CAT may vary greatly because cancers develop along Rash Cream distinct biological trajectories that are imposed by the interaction between the tumor cell genome, the epigenom
Resurgence of HIV infection among men who have sex with men in Switzerland: mathematical modelling study.
BACKGROUND:New HIV infections in men who have sex with men (MSM) have increased in Switzerland since 2000 despite combination antiretroviral therapy (cART).The objectives of this mathematical modelling study were: to describe the dynamics of the HIV epidemic in MSM in Switzerland using national data; to explore the effects of hypothetical preventio
Strengthening the role of universities in addressing sustainability challenges: the Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions as an institutional experiment
As the magnitude, complexity, and urgency of many sustainability problems increase, there is a growing need for universities to contribute more effectively to problem solving.Drawing upon prior research on social-ecological systems, knowledge-action connections, and organizational innovation, we developed an integrated conceptual framework for stre
