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...

Abstract This paper reports detailed propagation analyses of mm-wave indoor networks based numerical simulations of the wireless coverage and measurements of the propagation coefficient at 28 and 38 GHz. Additionally, ma...

Using molecular dynamics experiments, we analyze the association of "Janus" 6-amino-6-deoxy-2O-carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrins (JCD) in aqueous solutions. In JCD dimers, the free energy associated with the primary-rim-sec...

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...

The choice of building façade materiality and composition plays a significant role in indoor and outdoor thermal comfort as well as energy efficiency. However, the carbon footprint of most construction materials contrib...

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...

The Chinese food contact materials and products industry is rapidly developing， and the scale of international trade is continuously expanding. The purpose of the study is to better respond to technical barriers to tra...

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...

Background: The rapid growth of the Middle Eastern tourist market demands advanced communication skills from tourism practitioners. However, current teaching materials for Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP) in Tourism ar...

Este artículo propone la biografía cultural de una casona colonial situada en el centro de Córdoba (Argentina), donde actualmente funciona un museo histórico. En el marco de los estudios de cultura material, el enfoq...

A arquitetura contemporânea vive hoje uma arriscada fusão com a publicidade e a indústria do entretenimento. Tal convergência exige uma expansão da forma arquitetônica até o limite de sua materialidade. Em busca d...

This study investigates a novel combination of materials, incorporating pantyhose and rice husk, to develop sustainable insulation panel candidates, an approach that has not been previously explored in the literature. Pa...

Construction generates substantial material waste with environmental and economic impacts, yet current methods rarely integrate waste estimation with project schedules. This study develops and validates semi-automated 4D...

"Data-driven simulation of pedestrian dynamics is an incipient and promising approach for building reliable microscopic pedestrian models. We propose a methodology based on generalized regression neural networks, which d...

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 ...

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...

Photonic computing and neuromorphic computing are attracting tremendous interests in breaking the memory wall of traditional von Neumann architecture. Photonic memristors equipped with light sensing, data storage, and in...

In the modern era, several new technologies are being developed for the most convenient and easy usage of materials. Due to its effortless and quick usage properties, 3D printing technology has a vast application range n...
