This paper presents a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study to investigate the performance of our high-throughput fixed-bed reactor used for the total oxidation of diluted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a continuous gas stream. The CFD model, based on a porous medium and a power-law kinetic model, is validated by comparing ...

INTRODUCTION: Objective cough frequency is a key clinical end-point but existing wearable monitors are limited to 24-h recordings. Albus Home uses contactless motion, acoustic and environmental sensors to monitor multiple metrics, including respiratory rate and cough without encroaching on patient lifestyle. The aim of this study was to evaluate me...
Parameters describing the bedroom environment and sleep quality were measured overnight for one week in 84 randomly selected actual bedrooms in Denmark from September to December 2020. The median age of participants was 26 years (interquartile range (IQR) [24-32] years); 41 were males. Carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, and relative humidity were m...
Sleep is essential for our health and well-being. Some research suggests that air quality influences sleep quality in bedrooms, but the evidence is limited. Research, until now, has focused on how indoor air quality affects health, comfort, and cognitive performance during waking hours. Less information is available on the levels of indoor air qual...

BackgroundLittle is known about the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema and allergies among Canadian Inuit children, especially those living in the arctic and subarctic areas.MethodsA cross-sectional study among Grade 1 students attending schools in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, was conducted during the 2015/2016 school year. We used...

Waterpipe tobacco smoking is growing in popularity despite adverse health effects among users. We systematically reviewed the literature, searching MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science, for interventions targeting prevention and cessation of waterpipe tobacco smoking. We assessed the evidence quality using the Cochrane (randomised studies), GRADE (no...
Metal oxides like MnO2, Co3O4 and NiO were fabricated by controlling decomposition of metal salt precursor in the presence and absence of restrictive nanoreactor. The growth of oxide crystals was inhibited in restrictive space provided by hard template (nanocasting), which made the catalysts possess smaller crystal size, higher surface area and bet...
The design and synthesis of highly active non-noble metal oxide catalysts, such as transition- and rare-earth-metal oxides, have attracted significant attention because of their high efficiency and low cost and the resultant potential applications for the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The structure-activity relationships have b...
