Performance Study of Intermittent Heating Mode Combining Air-Source Heat Pump with Radiator in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zones of China by Mingjing Fan, Haifeng Cheng, Mengting Nian, Shiqi Xie

“…The results show that the water supply temperature of 60°C at the startup stage can rapidly increase the indoor air temperature; in the stable stage, the water supply temperature is 40°C, the indoor air maintains a suitable temperature and relative humidity, and the indoor thermal environment is basically unaffected by the change in outdoor temperature and humidity; the inner surface temperature of the envelope (except the window) presents a similar trend to the indoor air temperature, which reduces the asymmetry of the thermal radiation field around the human body. The air temperature distribution in the human activity area is uniform, and the indoor PMV is in an acceptable, comfortable, and satisfactory state; compared with all-day continuous heating with an air-source heat pump, the expense can be saved by 24.4% (by 21.5 yuan/m2) in each heating season, and the system can reduce the emissions of CO2, SO2, and NOX by 988, 29.73, and 14.86 kg/year, respectively. …”

Association between TyG related parameters and metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease among nondiabetic individuals by Qian Zhang, Zhilong Liu, Jiaqi Zhang, Shangjie Yang, Liping Liu

“…TyG index and its related parameters TyG-WHtR, TyG-WC and TyG-BMI have been proven to label insulin resistance reliably, which makes it an important parameter to reflect the composition and health status of human body. Recent studies in the general population have demonstrated that there exists a correlation between elevated TyG index and the development of MAFLD, but in the nondiabetic US population, this correlation remains unclear. …”
