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. …”

Internet Searches for Medical Symptoms Before Seeking Information on 12-Step Addiction Treatment Programs: A Web-Search Log Analysis by George Nitzburg (18614989)

“…To this end, we used anonymized internet search engine data to investigate which medical conditions and symptoms preceded searches for 12-step meeting locators and general 12-step information.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">We extracted all queries made by people in the United States on the Bing search engine from November 2016 to July 2017. …”

Nonlinear effects in locally resonant nanostrip phononic metasurface at GHz frequencies by Feng Gao (3548)

“…This coupling induces softening of the substrate surface region, which reduces the acoustic velocity and, hence, the bulk radiation. As a result, the quality factor of the NPM resonator is found to improve with the increase in stimulation power. …”

Optimizing the number of players and training bout durations in soccer small‐sided games: Effects on mood balance and technical performance by Zouhaier Farhani (22330693)

“…Therefore, coaches should consider longer continuous bouts when planning SSGs‐based training to significantly decrease TMD and enhance technical‐tactical performance in soccer SSGs.…”

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. …”

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of fall-related injuries: a retrospective study by Ahammed Mekkodathil (4578838)

Synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles for dental applications: Improving the mechanical properties of the temporary dental filling materials by Srour, A.

“…We investigate the effect of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-N) mainly on the mechanical properties of zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) cements compared to the commercially available bulk ZnO powder (ZnO-B). Our results revealed the polycrystalline structure and well-dispersed nanoparticles (NPs) of regular shapes corresponding to ZnO-N with an average crystallite size of 54.68 nm and energy band gap (Eg) value of 2.7 eV. …”

Lateral extension induces columnar mesomorphism in crucifix shaped quinoxalinophenanthrophenazines by Wex, Brigitte

“…Reported here is the columnar mesomorphism of board shaped dyes based on quinoxalino[2′,3′:9,10]phenanthro[4,5-abc]phenazine (TQPP) derivatives that was induced by an increase in lateral bulk. TQPP derivatives with protons, tert-butyl and 4-tert-butyl-phenyl groups in positions 2 and 11 are compared, as well as dodecylthio, dodecyloxy, phytanylthio, and phytanyloxy side-chains. …”
