The use of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is a well-known method for enhancing the punching and flexural resistances of flat slabs. The structural performance of SFRC elements depends significantly on the fibre distribution and orientation, which a ...

The construction sector is the largest consumer of non-renewable resources and the most significant contributor to CO2 emissions. Reusing entire components or reclaiming their constituent parts, instead of recycling structural elements at the material leve ...

The historic Port Weir Bridge over the Nidau-Buren Canal in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland, was inaugurated in 1938. This multi-purpose structure serves as an important road bridge, a mechanised weir, a lock for canal boats, as well as a hydroelectric pow ...

In this paper we demonstrate how the use of frequencies ranging from 50 kHz to 5 GHz in the analysis of cells by electrorotation can open the path to the identification of differences not detectable by conventional set-ups. Earlier works usually reported e ...

Superconducting resonators are widely used in fields spanning from quantum computing to electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. With the goal of realizing superconducting resonators, a broad variety and combination of superconducting materials, substra ...

The shear resistance of headed studs is of paramount importance for the design of steel-concrete composite structures and an accurate predictive model is highly needed. Ensemble learning is expected to be a powerful solution while it relies on laborious se ...

We present a numerical assessment of the thermal-hydraulic performance of the NbTi bus bars designed for the European DEMO. We consider the CS, TF and PF bus bars, as well as two alternative TF options for high-current operations. The main sources of stati ...

This paper demonstrates the capability of locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs) for creating compact metallic waveguide E- and H-bends, which are simultaneously working as bandpass filters. For creating these bent meta-filters, we use composite pin-pipe wa ...

Methane (CH4) has the prospective of becoming one of the major energy carriers for heavy-duty mobility, but its catalytic abatement remains a challenge. CH4 abatement reaction pathways were analyzed using targeted periodic lean/rich oscillations, which res ...

This paper proposes a new mechanics-based model for the seismic design of beam-to-column panel zone joints in steel moment-resisting frames. The model is based on realistic shear stress distributions retrieved from continuum finite element (CFE) analyses o ...

In recent years, numerous measurement techniques have been employed to characterize surface textures in the micrometer and nanometer range. Although these techniques have enabled significant advances in surface metrology, larger surface details are not eas ...

Personalizing behavior change (BC) strategies to motivate increased physical activity is especially important for the diverse older adult population. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how to profile older users to most effectively personalize BC ...

This study focuses on the effects of ozonation on the optical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in light absorption properties of DOM was observed concomitantly with a large increase in singlet oxyge ...

We present the deep self-correlation (DSC) descriptor for establishing dense correspondences between images taken under different imaging modalities, such as different spectral ranges or lighting conditions. We encode local self-similar structure in a pyra ...

Although alterations in bone mineral density (BMD) at the proximal tibia have been suggested to play a role in various musculoskeletal conditions, their pathophysiological implications and their value as markers for diagnosis remain unclear. Improving our ...

In this work we report the fabrication, characterization and validation of a cortisol biosensor, together with a unified predictive calibrated model. We demonstrated the possibility of using a classical submicron semiconductor FET as the transducer for a c ...

Heterostructured composites with an excellent photocatalytic activity have attracted increasing attention because of their great application in environmental remediation. Herein, a MIL-101(Fe)/g-C3N4 heterojunction was synthesized via in-situ growth of MIL ...

We present a computational screening of experimental structural repositories for fast Li-ion conductors, with the goal of finding new candidate materials for application as solid-state electrolytes in next-generation batteries. We start from similar to 140 ...

Demand Response (DR) is progressively moving from a centralized, unidirectional structure to a set of advanced decentralized mechanisms that better balance distributed supply and demand. This paper presents a decentralized cooperative DR framework to manag ...
