Experimental Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Alfas Stone [PDF]
Frattura Ed Integrita Strutturale, 2017 This paper focuses on the experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of the Alfas natural building stone. Two series of uniaxial compression tests and indirect tensile tests (Brazilian tests) were performed in order to determine the uniaxial

Pre-Failure Indicators Detected by Acoustic Emission: Alfas Stone, Cement-Mortar and Cement-Paste Specimens Under 3-Point Bending [PDF]
Frattura Ed Integrita Strutturale, 2017 Acoustic Emission (AE) is the technique most wide¬ly used now¬adays for Structural Health Monitor¬ing (SHM). Application of this technique for continuous SHM of restored elements of stone monuments is a challeng¬ing task.

Tourism as a driver of economic and social development in underdeveloped regions
Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Cross‐border cooperations have been usually approached by developing trade agreements between international regions to upgrade their socioeconomic conditions and promote international tourism flows in territories. However, little attention has been paid to the role that tourist companies play in underprivileged territories highly dependent on ...

Mode‐Resolved Phonon Dynamics Under Chemical Pressure in SnTe Thermoelectrics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chemical pressure reshapes low‐energy optical phonons in SnTe, altering their dispersion and scattering with heat‐carrying acoustic modes. Positive and negative pressure states modify phonon frequencies and lifetimes in distinct ways, revealing how mode‐selective lattice perturbations regulate acoustic–optical interactions and suppress lattice thermal ...

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Boron‐oxide‐assisted particle engineering stabilizes O3‐type layered cathodes for sodium‐ion batteries by mitigating phase transitions and lattice strain. Acting as flux and structural modifier, boron forms submicron hexagonal platelets with (003) facets and expanded Na‐layer spacing, enabling rapid Na⁺ diffusion and mechanical resilience.

Battery Energy, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2025.Three biobased membranes are synthesized by crosslinking oxidized Kraft lignin with poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether of increasing molecular weights. After incorporation of solvated potassium salts, potassium batteries including these biobased gel polymer electrolytes are able to deliver a maximum specific capacity at 0.05 A g−1 as high as 130 ...

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.We elucidate the fundamental influences of polymer polarity on Li+ ionic environments in solid polymer electrolytes by considering four critical components: Li+, FSI−, residual solvents, and polymer matrix. Beyond facilitating LiFSI dissociation and Li+ transport, our findings underscore previously overlooked roles of polymer polarity, thereby ...
