This study presents a series of numerical simulations for airflow field and particle dispersion and deposition around a mannequin inside a ventilated room. A 3-D airway system of a volunteer subject with a large respiratory system was reconstructed from the nostril inlet to the end of the tracheobronchial tree 4th generation and was integrated into a standing mannequin at the center of a room. The room ventilation system supplied air through a diffuser and expelled air via a damper in three modes.

- Cyperus rotundus L., commonly known as purple nutsedge, is a prevalent invasive weed that has traditional medicinal uses, including anti-arthritic and antidiarrheal effects as well as treatment for CNS disorders like epilepsy and depression.
- α-Cyperone, a key compound in Cyperus rotundus, has not been studied for its impact on microtubule assembly and dynamics, which are crucial in the context of chronic inflammation and diseases like Alzheimer’s.
- Experimental results indicate that α-Cyperone significantly alters tubulin structure, reduces polymerization rates, and induces conformational changes, suggesting it may influence inflammatory processes at a cellular level.
