Improving the thermal insulation of glazing units is a common strategy of reducing building energy use for spacing cooling.This paper newly examined the application of aerogel glazing technology in Hong Kong by the means valhalla axys of laboratory testing and simulation.Nine prototypes of granular aerogel glazing were selected to examine their opt
Abstract Background Germline BRCA2 mutation is associated with an aggressive prostate cancer phenotype and indicates higher risk for hereditary cancer.Recently, numerous studies have attempted to identify the genomic landscape of prostate cancer to better understand the genomic drivers of this disease and look for the molecular targets to guide tre
This paper develops an electromagnetic energy harvester, which can generate small-scale electricity from non-directional water flow in oceans or rivers for remote sensors.The energy harvester integrates a Tesla disk turbine, a miniature axial-flux permanent magnet generator, and a ring cover with symmetrical grooves att nighthawk hotspot which are
Age related hearing loss (presbycusis) is one of the most common sensory deficits in the aging population.The main subjective ailment in the elderly is the deterioration of speech understanding, especially in a noisy environment, which cannot solely be explained by increased hearing thresholds.The examination methods used in presbycusis are primari
Gait recognition is a behavioral biometric technique that identifies individuals based on their unique walking patterns, enabling long-distance identification.Traditional gait recognition methods rely on appearance-based approaches that utilize background-subtracted silhouette sequences to extract gait features.While effective and easy to compute,
