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. …”

Breathing regulation and blood gas homeostasis after near complete lesions of the retrotrapezoid nucleus in adult rats by Souza, George M.P.

“…The hypercapnic ventilatory reflex in 65% FiO2 had an inverse exponential relationship with the number of surviving RTN neurons and was decreased by up to 92%. The hypoxic ventilatory reflex (HVR; FiO2 21–10%) persisted after RTN lesions, hypoxia‐induced sighing was normal and hypoxia‐induced hypotension was reduced. …”

Renal Function Decline in Recipients and Donors of Kidney Grafts by Bahous, Sola Aoun

“…Results: Decline in renal function was estimated at 1-year post-transplantation and annually thereafter (median follow-up 8 years, range 3.6-18.3), as the mean of the annualized decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. In recipients, filtration rate decreased by 4.8 ± 19.7 ml/min/1.73 m2 the first post-transplant year and at a yearly rate of 2.2 ± 3.8 ml/min/1.73 m2 thereafter. …”
