Physico-technical measurement of green roof in climate chamber module

Abstract

Backgrand. Lateralized periodic discharges (LPDs) are infrequent electroencephalograph (EEG) findings, and may present in ictal or interictal form. They are regarded as potential electrophysiologic signs of convulsive or nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). We report four patients who presented with NCSE and one who presented with convulsive status epilepticus in the postictal period, characterized by LPDs in EEG recordings in the first year after stroke. Material and methods. We prospectively evaluated patients who clinically presented with status epilepticus associated LPDs between March 2014 and March 2015. We investigated patients that presented with a new stroke occurrence. We excluded the other LPD etiologies. EEG studies of five patients (two men) who were admitted to our emergency unit with confusion, three of whom had visual symptoms; four were treated for NCSE as diagnosed with LPDs. The fifth patient had convulsive status epilepticus with LPD in the postictal period. Results and Discussion. None of the five patients, who were aged between 68 and 92 years, showed any etiologic factor other than a history of cerebrovascular disease (CVD). Magnetic resonance imaging studies of the patients revealed old infarcts and transitional diffusion restrictions. The clinical and EEG findings decreased substantially upon antiepileptic drug treatment. Herein, we illustrate the first patient who had confusion, visual hallucinations, and ictal and interictal LPD in her consecutive EEGs. Conclusions. CVDs may pave the way for LPDs in patients with a history of stroke because CVDs cause structural brain damage. Patients who present with a similar clinical profile and imaging signs of stroke should be checked for NCSE, particularly in the presence of LPDs in EEGs.

Examination of Bearing Walls Regarding Their Environmental Performance

“…The GWP of the wall structures varied from 110.97 to 183.4 kg CO 2 eq/m 2 for the silicate plaster structures, and from 209.5 to 281.9 kg CO 2 eq/m 2 for the silicone plaster structures. The GWP values were in accordance with the results of other authors, who aimed even higher at the impacts of building constructions [45][46][47], likely due to double-calculation of the effects of the plasters. Two separate regions were found, similarly as with PEI, when analyzing the relationship between GWP and thickness, as shown in Figure 10, and between GWP and weight, as shown in Figure 11.…”

“…The surface temperatures ranged from 18.24-18.33 • C, as shown in Figure 2. The selected technical parameters were conventionally assessed, not only for vertical constructions, but also for other constructions, e.g., roofs [46,47]. The individual six factors have amplifying effects on environmental performance, with a positive polarization of criteria.…”

Modification of the Geotechnical Properties of Loess Using Eggshell Waste (El'Mghair Region)

“…Furthermore, the observations of minimal settlement upon variations in density further reinforce this classification. Altogether, these findings collectively support the assertion that the soil studied (EM) falls within the category of loess soil in Table 2, underlining its unique geotechnical attributes and behavior consistent with loess materials observed in similar regions [29,30].…”
