Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Plant Species Suitability for a Substrate-Free Tropical Green RoofBruno R. Silva, André Mantovani, Dulce G. Mantuano et al.Greenroofs reduce building exterior-interior thermal flux and mitigate high internal air temperatures, especially in tropical climates. Tropical greenroofs are given little attention and their use remains restricted to a very low percentage of roofs due to high costs compared to traditional roofs, weight overload (mainly due to the chosen substrate) and potential waterproofing problems. We here present an alternative greenroof … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 11 Oct 2018 · 7,529 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractWhere the Future is Being Made TodayMark A. Brown, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtGrowing up, I was fascinated by The Muppet Show and the adventures of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker. Apparently, my feelings were not unique because Muppet characters are used to ease tensions associated with education about clinical interventions (Ramsay, 2014; Rohn, 2007). Yet the opening phrase 'Where the future is being made today' has, in my opinion, summed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2016 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
