NEW USE OF TEFLON-COATED GLASS-FIBER FABRIC CEILING FOR INTERIOR SPACE

Moisture Diffusion Properties of Fabric Composite (Glass Fiber/Epoxy Resin)

In this study, the effect of hygrothermal conditioning on the moisture diffusion properties of the fabric composite (glass fiber/epoxy resin) was investigated. The water uptake of the specimens conditioned in humid environment at different relative humidities (0, 60 and 96 % r.h) at constant temperature (60°C) was evaluated by weight gain measurements. The moisture diffusion properties of the f...

Fever's glass ceiling.

The importance of an upper limit of the febrile response has been recognized since the time of Hippocrates. Although the precise temperature defining this limit varies according to the site at which body temperature is measured, human core temperature is almost never permitted to rise above 41 degrees C-42 degrees C during fever. There are compelling physiological reasons for such an upper limi...

Cortex shatters the glass ceiling.

Recreating developmental structures in vitro has been a primary challenge for stem cell biologists. Recent studies in Cell Stem Cell (Eiraku et al., 2008) and Nature (Gaspard et al., 2008) demonstrate that embryonic stem cells can recapitulate early cortical development, enabling them to generate specific cortical subtypes.

Climbing through medicine's glass ceiling.

1887 quality of care but do not substantially reduce costs among a broad array of patients.3-5 As more empirical evidence comes in, it may become easier to identify specific ways to reduce costs; for now, the possibility and scope of the savings remain unclear. One approach that might improve the cost-effectiveness of disease-management and care-coordination strategies involves more accurately ...
