TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how type, density and placement of vegetation, flow depth and velocity influence friction losses in a laboratory flume, and showed that leaves on willows seemed to double or even triple the friction factor compared to the leafless case despite the fact that the bottom was growing sedges.

TL;DR: In this article, the Young's modulus and tensile strength of carbon nanotubes with vacancy-related defects were derived by employing molecular dynamics simulations and continuum theory, with coefficients parametrized from atomistic computer simulations.
Abstract: Although as-grown carbon nanotubes have relatively few defects, defects can appear at the purification stage or be deliberately introduced by irradiation with energetic particles or by chemical treatment when aiming at the desired functionality. The defects, especially vacancies, give also rise to a deleterious effect – deterioration of axial mechanical properties of nanotubes. By employing molecular dynamics simulations and continuum theory we study how the Young’s modulus and tensile strength of nanotubes with vacancy-related defects depend on the concentration of defects and defect characteristics. We derive an analytical expression, with coefficients parametrized from atomistic computer simulations, which relates the Young’s modulus and defect density in carbon nanotubes. We further show that the tensile strength and critical strain of single-walled nanotubes decrease by nearly a factor of two if an unreconstructed vacancy is present. However, this deterioration in the mechanical characteristics is partly alleviated by the ability of nanotubes to heal vacancies in the atomic network by saturating dangling bonds.

TL;DR: The group concluded that ventilation is strongly associated with comfort (perceived air quality) and health [Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms, inflammation, infections, asthma, allergy, short-term sick leave], and that an association between ventilation and productivity (performance of office work) is indicated.
Abstract: Scientific literature on the effects of ventilation on health, comfort, and productivity in non-industrial indoor environments (offices, schools, homes, etc.) has been reviewed by a multidisciplinary group of European scientists, called EUROVEN, with expertise in medicine, epidemiology, toxicology, and engineering. The group reviewed 105 papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and judged 30 as conclusive, providing sufficient information on ventilation, health effects, data processing, and reporting, 14 as providing relevant background information on the issue, 43 as relevant but non-informative or inconclusive, and 18 as irrelevant for the issue discussed. Based on the data in papers judged conclusive, the group agreed that ventilation is strongly associated with comfort (perceived air quality) and health [Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms, inflammation, infections, asthma, allergy, short-term sick leave], and that an association between ventilation and productivity (performance of office work) is indicated. The group also concluded that increasing outdoor air supply rates in non-industrial environments improves perceived air quality; that outdoor air supply rates below 25 l/s per person increase the risk of SBS symptoms, increase short-term sick leave, and decrease productivity among occupants of office buildings; and that ventilation rates above 0.5 air changes per hour (h-1) in homes reduce infestation of house dust mites in Nordic countries. The group concluded additionally that the literature indicates that in buildings with air-conditioning systems there may be an increased risk of SBS symptoms compared with naturally or mechanically ventilated buildings, and that improper maintenance, design, and functioning of air-conditioning systems contributes to increased prevalence of SBS symptoms.
