...increasingly recognised, and high emphasis is given to the circularity of building materials and the reduction of activities with negative environmental impact. Legislation, guidelines, and other documentation play an important role in improving demolition activities and construction and demolition waste (CDW)...

Interactions between Cl-, SO42- and cementitious materials, reinforcement passive films influence the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Transport of three solutions (NaCl, Na2SO4, mixed) in calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel, γ-FeOOH nanopores was investigated using molecular dynamics....

...acquisitions and may improve echocardiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of DL-based guidance and automated measurements on the reproducibility of LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), end-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic (ESV) volume, and ejection fraction (EF). Methods and results...

...raw material as collagen and gelatine marked, especially based on marine raw materials, is exploding during recent years. This leads for the situation where collagen/gelatine producing industry facing the situation with the lack of collagen rich raw materials as fish skins and bones. White fish industry...

An overview of accidents and potential occupational accidents in the offshore wind industry is shown. There are indications that the number of accidents is relatively high. Based on a model for safe operations, status for as well as challenges for safety management in the offshore wind industry are presented...

...commercial design for reference use and a proposed design of cubic parabolic shape. Both blades are regarded as flat plates of equal blade area. The obtained results gives the polar diagram (lift and drag coefficients versus angle of attack) for both blade designs and can conclude that the normal force...

...firefighting, and maintenance where it may either be too narrow or too dangerous for personnel to operate. During the last 10–15 years, the published literature on snake robots has increased significantly. The purpose of this paper is to give a survey of the various mathematical models and motion patterns...

This paper describes the design and performance of a prototype remote palpation instrument with tactile feedback for laparoscopic surgery. Psychophysical experiments aiming at comparing palpation with and without tactile feedback are also described. The remote palpation instrument is designed to provide...

This paper provides an overview on facts and trends towards the introduction of connected electric vehicle (EV) and discusses how and to what extent electric mobility will be integrated into the Internet of Energy (IoE) and Smart grid infrastructure to provide novel energy management solutions. In this...

...simulator for coupled current distribution and convection in electrolysis cells has been developed. The simulator solves the electric and temperature fields in the electrolyte, electrodes and surrounding solids, as well as the rate of anodic gas evolution and the resulting convection in the electrolyte...
