Enhancing Thermal Comfort for the Revitalization of Pedestrian-Friendly Shopping Arcades in Dubai, UAE by RAJEEV, ANN MARIA

“…Using ENVI-met software, simulations are conducted in three stages: urban materials, building facade materials, and vegetation and landscaping, encompassing thirteen different combinations to examine four key aspects: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and PMV value, which significantly affect outdoor thermal comfort. The most favorable cases are selected from each phase, and the final reduction in temperature and PMV values of the optimized case indicates a substantial decrease of 3.76 degrees Celsius in air temperature post-implementation of passive design strategies. …”

Exploring the Fecal miRNA Profile in FMF Patients and the Role of miR-21-5p in Inflammatory Pathways Associated with FMF Pathogenesis by Chaaban, Ahlam

“…Correlation studies revealed that three anti-inflammatory miRNAs, mir-144-3p, mir-29b- 3p, and mir-374b-5p, were downregulated in M694V homozygous patients compared to those with other genotypes and six miRNAs were higher in patients with greater disease severity. The inhibition of mir-21-5p in LPS-stimulated THP-1 derived macrophages reduced the activation of NF-κB and inflammasome pathways. …”
