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...

This study employs the transfer matrix method combined with numerical simulations based on the transfer matrix model and an impedance tube testing system to explore the correlation mechanism of acoustic parameters in Lig...

It is a critical part at the basic design phase of aircraft structural design to build a finite element model and it will have a direct impact on time and cost for airframe structure development. In addition, the objecti...

Copper matrix composites face the inherent strength-conductivity trade-off, limiting their high-end applications. Inspired by bone and bamboo, a bioinspired oriented multicore composite (BOMC) was fabricated. Its dual-ne...

We demonstrate how controlling the heat affected zone during laser powder bed fusion may be used to optimise the phase composition of additively manufactured (AM) components in-situ to reduce post-processing heat treatme...

The global transition to sustainable energy systems requires breakthroughs in electrochemical storage technologies that are not only safe but also resource efficient. Solid-state batteries (SSBs), which use superionic so...

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...

Abstract High-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) based on wide bandgap (WBG) materials like gallium nitride (GaN) are vital for next-generation power electronics and high-frequency applications, offering high breakdow...

"Material Jetting technology has proven to be very useful in the manufacture of parts with a variety of shapes, consistencies, textures, transparencies and colours, and a great diversity of mechanical properties can be a...

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...

"Successful utilization of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the space sector implicates two aspects: First, an understanding of the process inherent characteristics has to be developed, where the anisotropic behavior of ma...

The portfolio optimization problem is a mathematical and financial decision-making method that aims to achieve an optimal trade-off between financial risk and return. This paper presents the first application of the nove...

Reinforced concrete (RC) piers have been widely studied and applied in bridge construction practice. To ensure the normal operation of RC piers under corrosive environments and seismic effects, new corrosion-resistant ma...

Electroslag welding involves high heat input, which may cause material hardening in the weld and heat-affected zone. At the same time, the electroslag weld is in an inaccessible state, making the welding quality difficul...

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 Campbell systematic review assesses the effectiveness of school‐based decision‐making. The review summarises findings from 17 impact studies and nine studies of barriers and enablers. School‐based decision‐m...
