Integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and LEED's Location and Transportation Category
The selection and development of a project location is critical to the success of a green building project. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is one of the most popular Green Building certification systems in the world. Traditionally in LEED design, architects and designers have to analyze project location based on traditional maps with manual calculations, which require a significant amount of time and effort. In the meantime, the advent of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has brought about a promising new way of improving Green Building’s location analysis. This research presents an integration model of BIM in LEED certification to improve the efficiency of LEED’s location and transportation analysis. The framework of the integration model is introduced and demonstrated using a user interface for LEED’s analysis under the Autodesk Revit environment.
Transition from building information modeling (BIM) to integrated digital delivery (IDD) in sustainable building management: A knowledge discovery approach based review
Abstract Over the past decade, building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability have attracted increased interest, with a concomitant rise in the number of related publications. However, research efforts made in BIM for sustainable building management, especially using in all four Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) phases are minimal. Therefore, this study features a combined scientometric analysis and IDD thematic discussion examining 471 scholarly bibliographies accessed from the Web of Science (WoS) database. The purpose of this study is to statistically classify BIM-sustainability publications from 2007 to 2019 in order to understand the research status, key themes, trends, and future challenges to be addressed in the field of sustainable BIM. The most influential scholars, institutes, regions/countries, articles, and journals have been identified. Moreover, clustering analyses identified topics that sustainable BIM research tended to gravitate toward, such as cloud approaches, data sharing, life cycle energy efficiency, and informetric analysis. The top 100 most cited documents from WoS were also manually classified into four quadrants of IDD, namely design, fabrication, construction, and asset delivery and management. Ten BIM-sustainability phenomena were observed throughout the life cycle of IDD. Finally, key research gaps and important areas for future research in this field were identified. The clearly delineated clusters and themes provide a practical overview and a deeper understanding of the current research progress of IDD for building sustainability, highlighting the challenges and research gaps for future research.
Metabolism of individual fatty acids by sheep depot adipose tissue in vivo and in vitro.
1. 
1. Sheep adipose tissue and plasma have high stearate and low unsaturated fatty acid content compared to rat, dog and man. 
 
2. 
2. In control animals in vivo uptake as well as release of various fatty acids by adipose tissue could be demonstrated. In vitro net release occurred. Fasting resulted in a decrease in tissue stearate and increased release of fatty acids. Adrenaline and noradrenaline had minimal lipolytic effect in vivo and in vitro. 
 
3. 
3. Variations in the turnover rate of individual fatty acids were observed.
