Enhancing Thermal Comfort in Urban Communities with Urban Configurations and Green Coverage: A Case Study of Dubai Sustainable City by MUAILEQ, LAMA SULIMAN ABU

“…Moreover, courtyard design impacts air distribution and air temperature, which is connected to predicted mean vote values, and green coverage percentage in the courtyard impacts microclimate variables, as it reduces air temperature by increasing relative humidity to a moderate level. Finally, all previous enhancements applied to the outdoor thermal comfort variable affects the indoor total energy consumption, as it reduces the energy load needed to mitigate the outdoor environment.…”

Synergistic Effect of Epigenetic Inhibitors Decitabine and Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid on Colorectal Cancer In vitro by Najem, Sonia A.

“…Furthermore, the combination therapy upregulates protein expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax, p53 and cytochrome c, downregulates the expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein and increases the cleavage of procaspases 8 and 9; this suggests that the combination activates apoptosis via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. …”
