Increasing the Service Life of Marine Transport Using Heat-Resistant Polymer Nanocomposites
(MDPI AGSwitzerland, 2024-03-26)<jats:p>This paper presents the technological aspects of increasing the thermal stability of polymers, with epoxy binder used to form the polymer materials. Polyethylene polyamine was used to crosslink the epoxy binder. ... -
Performance of a novel structural insulated panel in tropical climates: Experimental and numerical studies
(Elsevier BV, 2024-03-29)This article investigates experimentally and numerically the thermal performance of a new type of structural insulated panel (SIP) termed ‘UWall’. The panel core consists of an ad-hoc waffle skeleton of Expanded Polystyrene ... -
On the Properties Evolution of Eco-Material Dedicated to Manufacturing Artificial Reef via 3D Printing: Long-Term Interactions of Cementitious Materials in the Marine Environment
(MDPI AG, 2022-08-01)This paper deals with the evolution monitoring of biomass colonization and mechanical properties of 3D printed eco-materials/mortars immersed in the sea. Measurements of tensile strength, compressive strength, and Young’s ... -
Drone-based large-scale particle image velocimetry applied to tidal stream energy resource assessment
(Elsevier, 2022-08)Resource quantification is vital in developing a tidal stream energy site but challenging in high energy areas. Drone-based large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) may provide a novel, low cost, low risk approach ... -
Modeling Low Energy Demand Futures for Buildings: Current State and Research Needs
(Annual Reviews, 2023-11-13)<jats:p> Buildings are key in supporting human activities and well-being by providing shelter and other important services to their users. Buildings are, however, also responsible for major energy use and greenhouse gas ... -
Determination of hybrid charmonium meson masses
(Sissa MedialabThe 38th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (LATTICE2021), 2022-05-16)We report initial results from our study of the masses and decay constants of the lightest multiplet of charmonium-like hybrid mesons. We obtain precise measurements of the 1−+ state through the use of a variational basis ... -
Towards the global plastic treaty: a clue to the complexity of plastics in practice
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-11-15)Following the decision of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) to start negotiations for a legally binding treaty to end plastic pollution, discussions and reflections are ongoing on why and how plastic chemicals ... -
Microplastic transport and deposition in a beach-dune system (Saunton Sands-Braunton Burrows, southwest England)
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2024-01-20)Although microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants that have been extensively studied in the marine setting, there remain gaps in our understanding of their transport and fate in the coastal zone. In this study, MPs ... -
Insights from the first Brazilian Symposium on Human Biometeorology
(Zeppelini Editorial e Comunicacao, 2023-11-01)A current systematic literature review has stated several deficiencies and knowledge gaps in biometeorology research conducted in Brazil. This finding encouraged a group of local professionals in the field to foster ... -
Response of CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> emissions from Arctic tundra soils to a multifactorial manipulation of water table, temperature and thaw depth
(IOP Publishing, 2023-11-15)Significant uncertainties persist concerning how Arctic soil tundra carbon emission responds to environmental changes. In this study, 24 cores were sampled from drier (high centre polygons and rims) and wetter (low centre ...
