The aim of the study is to evaluate the potential of enhancing thermal comfort and energy consumption created by three different radiant systems in the newly-built Energetikum office building.A representative office, Simulation room 1/1, was selected from 6 areas equipped with portable sensor groups for the indoor environment monitoring.The present
The Tailed Punch, Dodona eugenes, is Accessories widely distributed in East Asia with seven subspecies currently recognized.However, two of them, namely ssp.formosana and ssp.esakii found in Taiwan, are hard to distinguish from each other due to ambiguous diagnostic characters.In this study, their taxonomic status is clarified by comparing genitali
Interferons (IFNs) play central roles in establishing innate immunity and mediating adaptive immunity against multiple pathogens.Three known types of IFNs identify their cognate receptors, initiate cascades of signalling events and eventually result in the induction of a myriad of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs).These ISGs perform a multitude of Immuni
Background: Office-based physicians can practice in a solo or group setting.Solo physician practices are staffed by a single physician who is responsible for all the care of the patients.Physicians in solo practices are also responsible for the infrastructure, personnel and investment cost of their practices.Further, evidence suggests that physicia
The existence of a semipermeable layer in grass seeds has been extensively reported, yet knowledge of its influence on tests for seed viability and vigor that depend upon measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) is limited.This study determined the presence and location of the semipermeable layer, and its relation to seed viability and vigor ass
