Architecture and buildings are in the focus when we discuss how to reach climate neutrality, how to transform cities and territories, how to achieve inclusion. Here, links between circularity, design, and city-making emerge ...

Comprehensive approaches to predict performance of wood products are requested by international standards, and the first attempts have been made in the frame of European research projects. However, there is still an imminent ...

Specimen design and manufacturing quality are decisive factors in the experimental determination of material properties, because they can only be reliably determined if all undesired influences have been minimized or are ...

The rise of the knowledge-based economy has significantly transformed the economies of developed countries from managed economies into entrepreneurial economies, which deal with knowledge as both input and output. Consequently, ...

Due to the vastly increasing use of wireless services in the car, such as WiFi, Car2Car and LTE, the requirements on bandwidth and radiation pattern of the roof antenna systems become more challenging. In this work, a ...

Nowadays, cultural heritage is more than ever linked to the present. It links us to our cultural past through the conscious act of preserving and bequeathing to future generations, turning society into its custodian. The ...

Inspired by the bio-adhesive ability of the marine mussel, highly hydrogen permselective ZIF-8 membranes were prepared on polydopamine functionalized stainless-steel-nets (SSNs). With polydopamine functionalization of SSNs ...

In this paper an innovative drive concept for robots to improve their machining capability is presented. As a test bed a two-axis robot is designed and equipped with torque motors with load-sided high resolution encoders ...
