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. …”

Renewable Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions: Evidence from an Oil-Rich Economy by Shahriyar Mukhtarov (19325662)

“…The results reveal that renewable energy consumption has a negative impact on CO₂ emissions, while real GDP per capita has a positive effect. According to the findings, a 1% increase in renewable energy consumption leads to a 0.26% decrease in consumption-based CO₂ emissions, while a 1% rise in real GDP per capita leads to a 0.46% rise in consumption-based CO₂ emissions. …”

Circulating lipid levels and risk of coronary artery disease in a large group of patients undergoing coronary angiography by Deeb, Mary E.

“…The TC/HDL-C ratio ≥4 significantly predicts ≥50 % stenosis in all vessels individually with the odds ratio (OR) ranging from 1.22 to 1.92. The OR increased with increasing number of ≥50 % stenotic vessels (1.39 for 2 vessels and 1.64 for 3–4 vessels), as did risk due to diabetes, CAD family history, gender, and age. …”

Investigating the Fate of Tetracycline in an Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor and Its Effects on Antibiotic Resistance Gene Proliferation from Different Membrane Types by Zeeb, Reem

“…The contribution of adsorption of tetracycline to the biofilm layer developed on each of the three membranes to removal was negligible. For ARGs, an increase in the abundance of tet-associated iARGs, with variation depending on the membrane pore size, was detected in the effluent, in opposition to tet-associated eARGs and non-tet ARGs which did not show an interpretable response to tetracycline.…”

Associations between Bone Mineral Density and WOMAC Scores in Healthy Individuals: Insights from the Qatar Biobank by Al-Hamdani, Mohammed

“…Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors, total body BMD and BMD related to specific skeletal sites (including femoral (femoral neck and trochanter), trunk, pelvis and total spine), and the three WOMAC subscales (pain, stiffness, and physical function).Results: After controlling for sociodemographic variables, total body and specific BMD measures did not predict pain. However, BMD measures significantly contributed to predicting stiffness after controlling for sociodemographic variables (R2 = 0.065, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.34, p = 0.002), with a higher total body BMD associated with increased stiffness and a higher trunk BMD associated with decreased stiffness. …”
