Efficacy of Cannabidiol Combination with Cisplatin or Paclitaxel against Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines by Ismail, Jana

“…Nonetheless, priming SK-OV-3 cells with CBD for 24h to sensitize them to the effect of cisplatin or paclitaxel treatment has shown to decrease the IC50 of the chemotherapeutic drugs. Similar results were revealed when the cells were primed with cisplatin or paclitaxel prior to be treated with CBD. …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…The building envelope thermal characteristics studied represent houses built in different periods from 1950 to high energy-efficient buildings in Montreal under different weather generations: typical historical (1961–1990), recent observational (2016), and typical future years 2030 (2026–2045) and 2090 (2080–2099) generated based on RCP-4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. The results showed that the high energy-efficient buildings can be more resilient to climate change than old buildings if adequate ventilation is provided, where the decrease of window and wall U-value, and SHGC all contribute to the decrease in indoor temperature. …”
