Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFire Resistance Testing of a Timber-Glass Composite BeamJohan Sjöström, Marcin Kozłowski, Daniel Honfi et al.Glass structures have been increasingly utilised in modern construction for decades with load-bearing walls or facades as the most common elements. However, the use of glass beams has recently been given more attention but its application as load-bearing elements has been limited by the low tensile resistance, its brittle behaviour during failure and concerns of its performance in case of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2020 · 10,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstructing Gibbs Measure in a Rigorous WayFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovEquilibrium statistical mechanics studies mathematical models for physical systems with many particles interacting with an external force and with one another. In this paper we describe an interaction model that generalizes several of these models in one model. An infinite model is constructed as the limiting case of finite interaction models, that is as a thermodynamic limit. The key point … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 29 Oct 2019 · 6,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Retrofits Needed in Old Office Buildings to Achieve Thermal ComfortChipozya Tembo Silungwe, Josephine Mutwale Ziko, Edward Jims SakalaBuilding designs normally are made to offer a given level of comfort to occupants without any mechanical intervention. However, with the advent of global warming temperatures globally have been seen to rise making the occupants of most buildings uncomfortable. The immediate solution has been to add mechanical ventilation, which comes at an added cost of installation and running a building. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2019 · 7,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlled Release Behaviors of Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide and Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer from Natural Polymer Blended Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel MicrospheresFawzi Habeeb Jabrail, Wajeeh Mohammed Jamil, Maher Zeki Elsabee, Kailash Chandra GuptaPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogel microspheres for controlled release of fertilizer (KNO3) and Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide (TBM) were prepared by blending the naturally occurring Alginate (AL) and Pectin (PE). The cross-linking in PVA hydrogel microspheres was carried out by varying the amount of glutaraldehyde from 0.5-1.0 wt%. To control the loading and release properties of PVA hydrogel microspheres, a small amount … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 13 Jul 2019 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of EVA, PVB and Ionoplast Interlayers on the Structural Behaviour and Fracture Pattern of Laminated GlassLiene Sable, David Kinsella, Marcin KozłowskiArchitectural trends increasingly challenge material producers and engineers to create sustainable, renewable and innovative laminated glass products that combine multiple functions as in, for example, glass railings with solar cells, curved laminated glass, floors with light emitting diodes that serve as multimedia screens. All new tendencies require the development of interlayers for laminated glass, which allows laminating electrical parts, solar … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 5 Jul 2019 · 8,159 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace ProbesRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuA space probe is an unmanned space vehicle launched into space to study more or less distant different celestial objects: The Sun, the planets, dwarf planets and small bodies, their satellites, the interplanetary medium or the interstellar medium. A space probe is distinguished from other unmanned spacecraft that remain in Earth orbit. Space probes can take a large number of … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 21 May 2019 · 7,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Drying Methods on Coal Liquefaction ConversionMehran HeydariThe sample coal used in this work was lignite containing 25% of moisture and 19% of ash from Canada. Drying of lignite coal had considerable influence on the coal liquefaction conversion. Vacuum dried and nitrogen dried samples provided higher conversion than air dried samples. The air drying showed nearly lower conversion, which probably as a result of oxidation. Air Drying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2019 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Plant Species Suitability for a Substrate-Free Tropical Green RoofBruno R. Silva, André Mantovani, Dulce G. Mantuano et al.Greenroofs reduce building exterior-interior thermal flux and mitigate high internal air temperatures, especially in tropical climates. Tropical greenroofs are given little attention and their use remains restricted to a very low percentage of roofs due to high costs compared to traditional roofs, weight overload (mainly due to the chosen substrate) and potential waterproofing problems. We here present an alternative greenroof … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 11 Oct 2018 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of 10 cm and 50 cm Long Iodine Cells in Iodine-Stabilized Diode Laser-Pumped Nd:YAG Laser at 532 nmPrayut Potirak, Monludee Ranusawud, Pichet Limsuwan, Prathan BuranasiriAn iodine-stabilized diode laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser system at 532 nm was developed at the National Institute of Metrology of Thailand (NIMT) for the first time in Thailand. Two iodine cells with the lengths of 10 and 50 cm were used for the comparison of frequency stability of Nd:YAG laser. The experiment was set for phase modulation spectroscopy. The Nd:YAG laser … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 26 May 2018 · 7,886 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrowave-Sensitive Reactors to the Rescue: From Microwave-Assisted Chemistry to Environmental ApplicationsGjergji Shore, Dhimitri Gusho, Hassan Hassan, Eugenia GjurajThe idea of using microwave sensitive reactors is relatively new in chemistry and environmental areas. Applications in both areas might be different but the effects can be amazing. Flow through reactors coated with thin metallic films using a variety of deposition techniques have been used as vessels to conduct reactions in flow under microwave irradiation. The metal coating not only … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 23 May 2018 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
