Decreasing the Energy Performance Gap and Thermal Loads in Residential Dwellings Using Machine Learning and Building Energy Modeling

The energy demand of the residential sector in Canada represents 12% of the total energy use. About 64% of such demand is assigned to space heating requirements. Adoption of energy-efficient systems is usually driven by long-term savings. Many passive energy reduction measures haven’t been implemented due to the decreasing credibility of simulation software which lacks […]

Computational reconstruction of protein-protein interaction networks involved in the pathogenesis of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations.

Cerebral Cavernous Malformations (CCM) are brain vascular malformations which occur in one person out of 200. Their consequences are devastating as they provoke epilepsy, stroke and many neurological disorders. CCM develop only in low blood flow venules and not in arteries in which the high flow has a protective effect. Yet, why CCM lesions form […]
