...the literature that disability and poverty are closely interlinked, the empirical basis for this knowledge is relatively weak. Objectives: To describe and discuss the current state of knowledge and to suggest the need for further generation of knowledge on disability and poverty. Method: Two recent...

...performance. Herein, we evaluate the gettering response of traditional mc-Si and HPMC-Si. Microanalytical techniques demonstrate that HPMC-Si and mc-Si share similar lifetime-limiting defect types but have different relative concentrations and distributions. HPMC-Si shows a substantial lifetime improvement after...

To reduce future damages on buildings and infrastructure, and prepare society for the coming climate challenges, in recent years numerous user guides have been developed. The objective of this study is to provide the first overview and analysis of, the characteristics of the existing guidance material...

Phase velocity and attenuation of compressional and shear waves in the two materials PMMA and Eccosorb MF-117 were measured as function of frequency and temperature, using a broadband through-transmission technique. Two pairs of transducers were used for the measurements, one pair with center frequency...

A number of past and current research and development projects aim to improve the sharing and use of environmental information. In 2010, the Environmental Infrastructures and Platforms (ENVIP) initiative was introduced as a means to identify the European potentials and specify common building blocks...

...particles and solutes on the strength, work-hardening behaviour and ductile fracture of four different aluminium alloys in the as-cast and homogenised condition is investigated in this paper. These alloys contain different types and volume fractions of particles, i.e. constituent particles and dispersoids...

...simulated, checked and validated in short incremental and iterative cycles. This also makes them a powerful asset for important process improvement decisions such as resource allocation, deadlock identification and process management. In this paper, we propose a framework that combines Aspect and Model-Driven...
