The article describes the methodology for experimental studies of an arch made of high-strength rapid-hardening concrete, presents the results of the studies in tabular form, and describes the mechanical characteristics ...

Abstract Air-conditioning load forecasting is important for building energy scheduling and control. The task is difficult because load data show clear periodic patterns, and sudden changes caused by events such as holida...

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 “Findings in…” section in this issue of VLC arquitectura is devoted to Architectural Construction, a field whose recent evolution highlights its capacity to open up new lines of reflection and research on the b...

Background: Sustainable procurement is a crucial pillar of corporate governance and competitiveness, particularly in resource-constrained environments such as Namibia. Regardless of the rising interest in sustainability...

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...

Low-resolution images often lack fine detail and are prone to blurring, noise, and distortions, making accurate assessment challenging. This issue becomes even more challenging for applications, such as land mapping, env...

Abstract Learning to program is not just about writing code. It is a complex process involving trial and error, hesitation, corrections, and sometimes silence. And each student experiences it in their own way. Understand...

Abstract Background Optimization of biotechnological processes is traditionally limited by time-consuming trial-and-error approaches and the complexity of simultaneously optimizing multiple, often conflicting objectives....

The opening phase of a lesson can strongly influence students’ readiness to learn, yet teachers often receive limited, delayed feedback on the quality of this phase. This study examines which opening-lesson features ar...

Concepts adapted from radio frequency devices have brought forth subwavelength scale optical nanoantenna, enabling light localization below the diffraction limit. Beyond enhanced light–matter interactions, plasmonic na...

Objective: ‘Values’ of Health Service Managers (HSMs) can be identified by a central organising concept of leadership, which is underpinned by emotional intelligence. Values, whether conscious or not, serve as guidi...

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently causes death in older cats; its early detection is challenging. Objectives To build a sensitive and specific model for early prediction of CKD in cats using art...

Hongyang Substation is combined with the upper part of the building of deep buried underground substation, and it can well solve the contradictions between urban electricity and land use tension. However, in power system...

Technology is one of the fields heavily influenced by rapid developments, undergoing significant changes each year. One of the technologies affected is data transmission. Data transmission faces its own challenges, and e...

O artigo tem como foco os pixadores na cidade de São Paulo. Trata-se de jovens que percorrem as ruas da cidade deixando inscrita em muros, prédios e viadutos a sua marca. Tal prática, porém, não é vista com bons ol...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is critical for credible climate decisions, although practice varies contextually. This review explains when to use attributional (ALCA) versus consequential (CLCA) LCAs, consolidating guidanc...

Abstract Modern antenna design is an intrinsic undertaking. It relies heavily on expert knowledge and computational tools, especially electromagnetic (EM) simulation software. The most daunting phase is the development o...

Due to the limitation of lacking elevation resolution, ground-based interferometric radar suffers from serious layover problem when applied to building deformation monitoring. Ground-based tomographic arc-scanning synthe...

Abstract Biological production of adipic acid, a crucial building block in nylon and polymer manufacturing, from renewable feedstocks has attracted attention as a sustainable alternative to the traditional petrochemical ...

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...

Abstract Objective China has achieved remarkable progress in tuberculosis (TB) control, with the incidence rates declining continuously; however, the disease burden among females remained substantial with pronounced r...

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 this work, a structured hierarchy of hyperdatasets for Monkeypox image classification is presented, aiming to evaluate the robustness and generalization ability of deep classification models for Mpox detection. A syst...
