Re-addressing the Window: Environmental Performance of Adaptive Fenestrations for Indian Climate
The primary function of building fenestrations known to humankind is to provide daylight, fresh air and view. However, with the emergence of mechanical systems, the purpose of space heating and cooling, ventilation and lighting are widely fulfilled artificially. The comprehensive focus of this …

Exploring mechanisms of inhibition and inactivation in voltage-gated sodium channels using molecular simulations
… the dynamic nature of the membrane-facing pore fenestrations, showing that three out of the four fenestrations are wide enough for drug passage. However, there is a lack differences between the subtypes, suggesting the infeasibility for subtype-selective drug access routes via the fenestrations. …

Computational Modelling and Treatment Optimization of Acute Endovascular and Respiratory Conditions
… a computer program for automated fitting of fenestrations on non-fenestrated endografts is proposed - "FenFit". FenFit provides the physician with an efficient, intuitive user interface for modifying endovascular grafts, developed using MATLAB GUI designer. A novel search algorithm using 3D …

The Culture of the Floor
… respect to tectonics, creates the thresholds and fenestrations within the procession. The acts of making and ichnographic drawing, under the watchful hand of craft, directed this study of a floor as the principal architectural consideration.

Developing disease-state liver models to determine the effects on brain function in vitro
… such as ammonia, can freely pass through the fenestrations in the barrier or are naturally transported by the endothelial cells. When damage occurs to the liver and there are alterations in behavior or cognition, the condition is termed hepatic encephalopathy. Therefore, the health of the …

Dynamic Materials and Devices for Controlling Solar Heat Gain in Buildings
… are focused on heat gained and lost through the fenestrations of a building, it is important to modernize the way we think about efficiency with regard to the opaque façade as well.</p> <p>To this end, thermochromic materials such as certain crystal phases of vanadium dioxide have been proposed …

Biomechanics of the canine thoracolumbar spine in lateral bending
… on spinal stability. These results suggest that fenestrations and facetectomies do not appear to increase the risk of injury to the canine thoracolumbar spinal cord during lateral bending in the in vitro model; however, thoracolumbar spinal fractures involving the vertebral body as represented by …

Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Escherichia coli K1 and Haemophilus influenzae Type a Blood-Brain Barrier Impairment
… inter-endothelial junctions and the lack of fenestrations, and pericytes, the cells closest to brain endothelial cells with which they share a common basement membrane. Bacterial meningitis is a common and severe Central Nervous System (CNS) infection, caused by different pathogens, including …

Evolving with the sun
… atmosphere. The light which passed through the fenestrations reflected the ever-changing movements of the sun and clouds. Without looking out a window, one could sense the moods of the day as well as the passage of time, the atmosphere within was always changing. With the advent of the …

In hypertension do smaller holes in arterial internal elastic lamina lead to fewer routes for myoendothelial junctions and hence less EDHF response?
… in the IEL were assessed by measurement of fenestrations in the IEL, which are the only points through which endothelial and smooth muscle cells can connect. In WKY, the fenestrae appeared to fuse with age, causing a parallel increase in fenestrae area and decrease in fenestrae number which …
