This study investigates the effects of the difference between leaders' and followers' level of subjective energy on the change in subordinates' energy one year later, and on customer-oriented citizenship behaviors. Build...

The paper presents a methodology and an example of determining the floor response spectrum of nuclear power plant building structures under earthquake loads. When critical energy infrastructure facilities are consider...

The etiology of obesity is multifactorial, and includes genetic, environmental, and dietary factors, where hypercaloric diets play a central role in the development of the disease. It is known that obesity in adulthood c...

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...

In a time where sustainability is paramount, evaluating and optimizing energy retrofit projects in historic buildings is essential. This study introduces Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as part of a new Life Cycle Asse...

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 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...

Abstract Background The residential building sector is a major contributor to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over 60 % of the energy used for space and domestic hot water heating comes from fossil fuels sources a...

The increase in energy consumption in buildings, particularly in the government sector, poses a serious challenge in the effort to mitigate climate change. This research aims to analyze and optimize the facade design of ...

The shift toward sustainable and intelligent buildings has accelerated the demand for advanced maintenance strategies that reduce energy waste, downtime, and improve reliability. Traditional maintenance approaches (react...

Nowadays, performing multi-objective optimizations of actual building designs is one of the most challenging problems of the building energy efficiency area. This paper aims to propose an efficient method to solve multi-...

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...

Abstract IoT devices are increasingly battery-powered, making energy efficiency a primary design concern. This work investigates how Java’s concurrency model (traditional OS threads vs. Virtual Threads) and garbage col...
