Light-harvesting complexes in natural photosynthetic systems, such as those in purple bacteria, consist of photo-reactive chromophores embedded in densely packed “antenna” systems organized in well-defined nanostruct...

Silicon photonics is playing a key role in areas as diverse as high-speed optical communications, neural networks, supercomputing, quantum photonics, and sensing, which demand the development of highly efficient and comp...

Introduction. Waste from wood processing and agricultural products can be used as components of building materials, as fuel in briquettes, etc. A rapidly developing area for the utilization of this waste, as well as wa...

In this paper, the assessment of the radon exhalation rate of the Modica stone building material, untreated and accelerated aged through salt crystallization test, is reported as a case study. Noteworthy, this constructi...

Studies carried out for sustainable and low carbon emission rural area design and planning are important in minimising the effects of climate change and protecting the ecology. Especially in rural areas, the choice of lo...

Abstract An ethnobotanical comparison is made between the four Indian tribes the Denís, the Jamamadis, the Makús, and the Waikás. The data was collected during general plant collecting expeditions in the tribal areas,...

Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar los resultados de las investigaciones arqueológicas desarrolladas en una serie de sitios, con ocupación prehispánica tardía y colonial, en el área de Coranzulí (Puna de ...

Climate change is a complex global challenge that requires collaboration across multiple scientific disciplines. In urban areas, its effects are more intense due to several factors, such as high population density, build...

Abstract This study explores the valorization of ceramic waste (CW) and waste tire particles in the development of eco-friendly cementitious tiles for outdoor roof shielding applications. CW, sourced from industrial bypr...

Wood is a natural material widely used in construction. Unlike artificial building materials, wood is characterized by natural defects (flaws) that can negatively affect its performance under load. This study proposes a ...

Abstract The Gas of the radon (Rn-222) can reach into the space of the houses in many ways, such as water supply, the emission from building materials, and the leakage through the soil. The aim of this study is determina...

A crucial objective for mitigating the global environmental footprint of the construction sector is the imperative to develop sustainable and ecological concrete alternatives. This investigation presents a novel strategy...

The paper deals with the complex analyses of production, export and import of products in the textile industry in different countries of the world. The largest manufacturers and exporters of textile products are identifi...

Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs), which consist of a polymer network and liquid crystal material, are used in building materials and automotive windows (so-called smart windows, light-controlling liquid crystal ...

Introduction. Obtaining self-compacting structural lightweight concretes (LWSCC) is an urgent scientific and practical task in the development of multifunctional building materials, where the main problem is to maintai...

In the period up to the end of the Second World War, 21 women in the Netherlands completed an academic architectural course. Five of these women married a fellow architect and conducted a joint architectural practice wit...

This work proposes a numerical procedure to simulate and optimize the thermal response of a multilayered wallboard system for building envelopes, where each layer can be possibly made of Phase Change Materials (PCM)-base...

Phase change materials (PCM) are receiving ever-growing attention as a promising construction material for improving building energy performance through thermal storage and peak load shifting. The analysis of PCM perform...

Two-dimensional materials have emerged as promising candidates to augment existing optical networks for metrology, sensing, and telecommunication, both in the classical and quantum mechanical regimes. Here, we review the...

This study evaluates the cost implications of green building practices in low-rise residential housing by analyzing three sample houses in Kayseri, Türkiye. It compares traditional construction systems with green altern...

Silicon energy is a new form of energy based on silicon materials and driven by semiconductor technology at its core. Silicon energy materials are strategic basic materials that support the green and low-carbon transform...

Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are pivotal in addressing the escalating energy and environmental challenges of hot climates, where extreme cooling demands and reliance on fossil fuels intensify carbon footprints. T...
