One of the biggest challenges in urban densifications is securing adequate daylight access. This study examines the potential of using semantic 3D city models as input to daylight simulations. It is focusing on investigating input data requirements to these simulations from a geodata, 3D city model specification and measuring guideline perspective. To achieve this, geodata simulation input require
Background: A new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation without the race variable has been recently proposed (CKD-EPIAS). This equation has neither been validated outside USA nor compared with the new European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) and Lund-Malmö Revised (LMREV) equations, developed in European cohorts. Methods: Standardized creatinine and measured glomerular filtr
The pre-tetramerization loop (PTL) of the human tumor suppressor protein p53 is an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) necessary for the tetramerization process, and its flexibility contributes to the essential conformational changes needed. Although the IDR can be accurately simulated in the traditional manner of molecular dynamics (MD) with the end-to-end distance (EEdist) unhindered, we sough
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and other electrical and electronic equipment exported for reuse from the EU to West Africa can contribute to a circular economy (CE) extending products’ use, but too often impact negatively on receiving countries. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes in the EU operate domestically and do not capture exports, thus EPR fees do not flow to receiving countries
With the rapid and alarming rate at which forests are disappearing around the world, it is of great importance to effectively estimate loss of forest cover due to different causes. Among those causes illegal logging is a particularly enigmatic and dangerous one made well-known by the destruction of the tropical rainforests of South America and Southeast Asia. A less glamorous hotspot of illegal lo
Until rather recently, safety from a traffic perspective has almost exclusively been described by accident statistic which in itself does not reveal the true safety issues. For this reason the use of traffic safety indicators has become more frequently used as a complement to describe the traffic safety situation. This thesis treats the behavioral differences of Norwegian and Danish cyclists from
Previously developed methods to evaluate FED and FEC level via combination of CFD and evacuation simulation have been verified by new features of FDS6 and extended to fire cases involving common building materials. The FED levels calculated by the conversion factor [1] based on carbon monoxide are compared with the direct calculation by way of mass fraction of carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide and
The interest of in vivo measurements of fat has increased over the years due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver. The relationship between the accumulation of adipose tissue within the different depots and organs of the body, and the risk of developing numerous diseases, has been investigated and establish
Background and study aims : Capsule endoscopy (CE) is invaluable for minimally invasive endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract; however, several technological limitations remain including lack of reliable lesion localization. We present an approach to 3D reconstruction and localization using visual information from 2D CE images.Patients and methods : Colored thumbtacks were secured in rows to the
