To do this, studied materials are respectively collected from a laterite clay pit in Ndouloumadjie Dembe (Matam, Northern Senegal) and another from a termite mound in Tattaguine (Fatick, Central Senegal). These samples are first subjected to Geotechnical identification tests. Mud bricks are then made with raw or sifted millet involucre improved to 1%, 2%, and 3% at 5 mm sieve samples. These briquettes are subjected to compression tests and thermal evaluations. Lagrange and Newton methods of numeric modelling are used to test the whole mixture points between 1% and 3% millet involucre for a better correlation between mechanical and thermal parameters. The results show that in Matam, as well as in Tattaguine, these muds, raw or improved, are of good thermomechanical quality when they are used in bricks making. And the thermomechanical coupling quality reaches a maximum situated at 2.125% for Ndouloumadjie and 2.05% for Tattaguine. These briquettes’ building quality depends on the mud content used in iron, aluminum, silica and clay. Thus, same natural materials can be used in the establishment of habitats according to their geotechnical, chemical, mechanical and thermal characteristics.展开更多

文摘There are limited biosecurity measures directed at preventing airborne transmission of viruses in swine.The effectiveness of dust mitigation strategies such as oil sprinkling,to decrease risk of airborne virus transmission are unknown.Metagenomics and qPCR for common fecal viruses were used to hunt for a ubiquitous virus to serve as a proxy when evaluating the efficiency of mitigation strategies against airborne viral infectious agents.Air particles were collected from swine buildings using high-volume air samplers.Extracted DNA and RNA were used to perform specific RT-qPCR and qPCR and analyzed by highthroughput sequencing.Porcine astroviruses group 2 were common(from 102 to 105 genomic copies per cubic meter of air or gc/m^(3),93%positivity)while no norovirus genogroup II was recovered from air samples.Porcine torque teno sus virus were detected by qPCR in low concentrations(from 101 to 102 gc/m^(3),47%positivity).Among the identified viral families by metagenomics analysis,Herelleviridae,Microviridae,Myoviridae,Podoviridae,and Siphoviridae were dominant.The phage vB_AviM_AVP of Aerococcus was present in all air samples and a newly designed qPCR revealed between 101 and 105 gc/m^(3) among the samples taken for the present study(97%positivity)and banked samples from5-and 15-year old studies(89%positivity).According to the present study,both the porcine astrovirus group 2 and the phage vB_AviM_AVP of Aerococcus could be proxy for airborne viruses of swine buildings.
文摘This paper introduces the relevant content of construction quality inspection standards for office buildings,including their differences and special requirements of general buildings.It elaborates on the application of BIM technology and the PDCA cycle model in each stage of construction,emphasizes the importance of technical management system construction,and also discusses the influence and optimization path of prefabricated buildings and LEED certification on the standards.

文摘The outdoor landscape design of medical buildings affects the healthcare experience of patients and the work environment of medical staff.Therapeutic landscapes contribute to the recovery of patients and provide a comfortable,convenient,and safe outdoor space for both patients and healthcare professionals.This article analyzes the concept,classification,design necessity,and smart enhancement methods of therapeutic landscapes.By combining the case study of the wellness landscape design of the Fifth People’s Hospital of Chongqing,it derives insights into therapeutic landscape design,such as the rational use of natural elements,the construction of pedestrian space systems,the arrangement of specialized botanical gardens,the integration of multiple therapies,and the application of smart technologies.The aim is to promote the development of therapeutic outdoor landscape design for medical buildings.
