Building fabric retrofitting is an important first step in improving building energy efficiency.The United Kingdom’s (UK) housing stock is one of the most inefficient in Europe, and Northern Ireland has the second-highest level of fuel poverty in the UK.This Northern Irish case study developed three fabric retrofit scenarios that estimate potenti
Origin-Destination Estimation Using Probe Vehicle Trajectory and Link Counts
This paper presents two origin-destination flow estimation models using sampled GPS positions of probe vehicles and link flow counts.The first model, named as SPP model (scaled probe OD as prior OD), uses scaled probe vehicle OD matrix as prior OD matrix and applies conventional generalized least squares (GLS) framework to conduct OD correction usi
Effects of a 5-HT3 agonist and antagonist on inter-male aggression in Mus musculus
Research has revealed an inverse relationship between serotonin (5-HT) levels in the brain and aggressive behavior.However, effects on aggression at the 2-Layer Acrylic Ornament level of the receptor have yet to be elucidated for many 5-HT receptor subtypes.This study examined the effects of the 5-HT3 receptor agonist m-chlorophenylbiguanide (mCPBG
COVID-19: Impact in endothelial function and therapy with Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
The new pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 Betacoronavirus, has spread worldwide, and infected millions of individuals causing the disease denominated of COVID-19.Further on flu symptoms, due to the high tropism of virus, has most been observed in the COVID-19 pathophysiology: Sailing Tights acute heart failure, thromboembolism events, acute renal failure, neu
A new exponentially directional weighted function based CT image denoising using total variation
Today, Computed tomography (CT) is one of the high efficient tools in medical science which helps to diagnose the 27” Double Wall Oven human body.The presence of noise may degrade the visual quality of the CT images, especially for low contrast images.Therefore, we propose a method based on the modification of total variation (TV) for noise suppr
