Natural window ventilation plays a key role in energy-efficient building design to achieve the
Sustainable Development Goal 11. However, window ventilation effectiveness has often …

The airborne transmission of the COVID-19 virus has been suggested as a major mode of
transmission in recent studies. In this context, we studied the spatial transmission of COVID …

Documentation of comparability between generic inhaler designs and the reference listed
drug (RLD) inhalers is essential for regulatory approval of the products. Such assessments …

Historically, windows shading systems have been part of sustainable design elements that
minimize solar heat gain while still allowing fresh air to pass through. However, there is a …

In this study, the unsteady airflow field in a realistic model of human upper airways during
the breathing cycle and the fibrous particle transport and deposition were investigated using …
