Case Study: LCA Methodology Applied to Materials Management in a Brazilian Residential Construction Site by João de Lassio, Josué França, Kárida Espirito Santo, Assed Haddad

“…As a result, this work shows that there is a substantial waste of nonrenewable energy, increasing global warming and harm to human health in this type of construction. This study also points out that, for this type of Brazilian construction, ceramic materials account for a high percentage of the mass of a total building and are thus responsible for the majority of environmental impacts.…”

Myofibroblasts emerge during alveolar regeneration following influenza-virus-induced lung injury by Ali Khadim, Georgios Kiliaris, Ana Ivonne Vazquez-Armendariz, Tara Procida-Kowalski, David Glaser, Marek Bartkuhn, Tanya Malik, Xuran Chu, Alena Moiseenko, Irina Kuznetsova, Negah Ahmadvand, Arun Lingampally, Stefan Hadzic, Ioannis Alexopoulos, Yuexin Chen, Andreas Günther, Jürgen Behr, Jens Neumann, Herbert B. Schiller, Xiaokun Li, Norbert Weissmann, Thomas Braun, Werner Seeger, Malgorzata Wygrecka, Rory E. Morty, Susanne Herold, Elie El Agha

“…Although AMF-like cells share a similar transcriptomic signature with myofibroblasts that are associated with aberrant repair and fibrosis, these cells do not derive from fibroblast growth factor 10-positive alveolar fibroblasts, and their dysregulation is associated with failed alveolar regeneration in humans. Our data emphasize the role played by developmental mechanisms in alveolar regeneration and highlight the context-dependent nature of myofibroblast biology and function during injury repair.…”

Rethinking Autonomous and Robotic Systems in Residential Architecture by Sotirios Kotsopoulos, Jason Nawyn

“…Although optimising home adaptability for energy efficiency, ergonomics, and climate control are shown to have benefits, applications intended to influence human behaviour remain questionable. The features of three home prototypes are presented to supply evidence for this claim: a Connected Sustainable Home that is a prototype of connected sustainability; the PlaceLab, a living laboratory for studying health-related home systems; and the CityHome, a series of robotically-transformable apartment prototypes. …”
