Investigation of extensive green roof outdoor spatio-temporal thermal performance during summer in a subtropical monsoon climate (2019)
Journal Article
thermal performance during summer in a subtropical monsoon climate. Science of the Total Environment, 696, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.133976

The thermal performance of green roofs is usually site-specific and changes temporally. Hence, thermal performance evaluation is necessary to optimize green roof design and its cooling effect. In this paper, we evaluated the outdoor spatio-temporal p...

Interaction of microtubules and actin during the post-fusion phase of exocytosis (2019)
Journal Article
Muller, M., Schempp, R., Lutz, A., Felder, T., Felder, E., & Miklavc, P. (2019). Interaction of microtubules and actin during the post-fusion phase of exocytosis. Scientific reports, 9, 11973. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-47741-0

Exocytosis is the intracellular trafficking step where a secretory vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane to release vesicle content. Actin and microtubules both play a role in exocytosis; however, their interplay is not understood. Here we study the...
