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

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”

Gaining or Losing Team Ball Possession: The Dynamics of Momentum Perception and Strategic Choice in Football Coaches by Walid Briki (688845)

“…Nonetheless, both variables displayed asymmetrical effects, in the sense that: (1) the strength of positive PM appeared to be easier to decrease than to increase; and (2) the greater the positive PM (or the negative PM), the lesser (or the greater) the coaches’ tendency to make a change in the organization of their teams. …”

Enhanced glucose uptake in phenylbutyric acid-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes by Fakhoury, H.

“…Treating differentiated adipocytes with PBA did not alter their differentiation status, but decreased the leptin to adiponectin ratio. Conclusion: this study showed that PBA enhances adipocyte glucose uptake potentially through its effect on glucose transporter expression and/or trafficking via the PI3K signaling pathway; suggesting PBA as a possible candidate for the ancillary management of diabetes.…”

Colloid retention and mobilization mechanisms under different physicochemical conditions in porous media: A micromodel study by Safna Nishad (16932474)

“…However, hydrophilic colloids redeposited on gas-water-solid interfaces or thin water films because of their greater capillary potential. Therefore, greater filtration efficiency is achieved with the hydrophilic colloids compared to the hydrophobic colloids for which the efficiency can be improved by changing the solution chemistry. …”
