The Urban Systems and Dynamics group, led by Prof. Nik, advances the boundaries of Building Physics to explore the complex interactions between buildings, urban systems, and climate. Our research focuses on designing and optimizing strategies for buildings and urban systems (with a big focus on energy systems) that drive the sustainable urban transition and enhance the built environment's resilien
N‐a‐p‐Tosyl‐L‐Lysine Chloromethyl Ketone (TLCK), a protease inhibitor, was found to irreversibly inhibit rapid axonal transport of protein in vitro in the frog sciatic nerve. TLCK exerted its action at the axonal level and seemed to depress the rate rather than the amount of transported protein. The efficiency of TLCK as a protease inhibitor was demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,
Based on the principle of Freedom of Association, sports traditionally hold a unique role in society with a significant level of autonomy. This autonomy has allowed Sports Governing Bodies to establish their own rules and regulatory frameworks with limited external interference and has led to the perception that the governance of sports operate outside the general legal society. Over time however,
Our research uses advanced technology to generate neurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of the generated neurons and their potential for therapeutic use in the future. For this we are using reprogramming technology in animal models or human stem cell culture system, together with electrophysiology, RNA sequencing, tracing technologies and cell
An autoclavable all-glass system for studying microbial dynamics at permeable surfaces is described. Standard hydrophobic or hydrophilic membranes (46-mm diameter) of various pore sizes were supported on a glass frit through which nutrient solutions were pumped by a peristaltic pump. The pump provided a precisely controlled flow at speeds of 0.5 to 500 ml of defined or natural cell exudates per h,
