New and more complex industrial applications of robotic systems for inspection and maintenance (I&M) purposes are enabled by the continuous improvements to the system capabilities. Key factors that fuel this development are advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), improvements of sensor technology...

...dolomite or calcite, quartz, and in some cases, other additions. These materials have different melting properties, which have a strong effect on reduction and smelting reactions in the production of a silicomanganese alloy. This article discusses properties of Assman, Gabonese, and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce...

...aim is to present user experiences with passive houses and zero‐energy buildings. The focus is on the interaction between the building and the users, specifically on how user interfaces, knowledge, and commitment influence the use of the building and the level of energy consumption awareness.
