Impact Analysis of Window-Wall Ratio on Heating and Cooling Energy Consumption of Residential Buildings in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zone in China by Qiaoxia Yang, Meng Liu, Chang Shu, Daniel Mmereki, Md. Uzzal Hossain, Xiang Zhan

“…Furthermore, in terms of energy efficiency, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass performs better than hollow glass. From this study, it can be concluded that the influence and sensitivity of window-wall ratio on the total energy consumption are related to the operation mode of air conditioning system, the orientation of outside window, and the glazing types of window. …”

Development of a Sensitive Quantum Dot-Linked Immunoassay for the Multiplex Detection of Biochemical Markers in a Microvolumeric Format by Kalvaityte U, Bagdonas E, Kirdaite G, Kausaite-Minkstimiene A, Uzieliene I, Ramanaviciene A, Popov A, Butkiene G, Karabanovas V, Denkovskij J, Mobasheri A, Bernotiene E

“…A specific immune-complex disassembling solution was used to dissociate analyte-antibody complexes from the bottom of the 96-well plate. After dissociation, the samples were diluted with PBS, and 2 μL transferred to a reusable glass slide for fluorescence (FL) scan.Results: The alkaline immune-complex disassembling solution that most efficiently amplified QDs FL within a prolonged 17 h time was selected. …”

Souffleurs de verre, mémoires intimes « au travail »  by Marie-Ange Lasmènes

“…After have shown the interest for the ethnologist to study memory in a diachronical way dealing with its temporality, it will be exposed how patrimonialisation of handcrafts offers a new category of heritage localized between national politics and the expansion of a local feeling of identity linked to this corporation expressed by official talks and individual memories. Finally, far from a search of a historical truth of past, some elements of private memories at work, in a glass firm, hidden by the change of an entrepreneurial context and the assimilation of an official memory, will be presented.…”
