ERS technical standard on bronchial challenge testing: pathophysiology and methodology of indirect airway challenge testing by Hallstrand, T., Leuppi, J., Joos, G., Hall, Graham, Carlsen, K., Kaminsky, D., Coates, A., Cockcroft, D., Culver, B., Diamant, Z., Gauvreau, G., Horvath, I., de Jongh, F., Laube, B., Sterk, P., Wanger, J.

“…We provide recommendations for the conduct and interpretation of hyperpnoea challenge tests such as dry air exercise challenge and eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea that provide a single strong stimulus for airway narrowing. This technical standard expands the recommendations to additional indirect tests such as hypertonic saline, mannitol and adenosine challenge that are incremental tests, but still retain characteristics of other indirect challenges. …”

Assessment of the most adverse wind form-factor for single storey buildings by Mostafanejad, Ahmad Zaim (Sam Nejad)

“…This wind load is mainly (by definition) the result of the wind velocity at the area of the building under consideration.In Australia and New Zealand the Standard AS/NZS 1170.2:2011 is the main technical standard governing the assessment of wind loads on buildings, and hence a major influence on their design.In AS/NZS 1170.2:2011 (p.14) there is an implied assumption that the wind, on the scale of buildings, has a straight or uniform front, where the velocity is identical from one end of the building to the other. …”
