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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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
