Micro‐Scale Dual Interface Layer With N‐Coordination Encapsulated on Coralloid Si Anode for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The Zr‐doped coralloid μSi encapsulated within an N‐coordinated dual‐carbon network is fabricated by an Al‐Si melt modification integrated with in‐situ interfacial strategy, consequently improving the ionic diffusion behaviors. Micro‐scale silicon (μSi) anodes are promising candidates for enhancing energy density of lithium‐ion batteries, yet their ...

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...

Bio-asphalt on Asphalt Mixture containing RAP

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Abstract This study investigates the use of bio-asphalt, derived from coconut shell (BioCS) and straw (BioST) as an additive to determine its benefits in asphalt mixtures containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The study was conducted by determining and comparing the laboratory performance properties of four mixtures and the binders

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Effect of Aging on the Properties of Asphalt and Asphalt Mixtures

Ingenieria y Universidad, 2015
This article presents the results of the analysis of the effect of aging on the properties of asphalt and asphalt mixtures. The objective of this study was to compare the properties of the original asphalt and aged asphalt and the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures. The long-term aging was simulated by using Pressure Asphalt Vessel (PAV). Marshall and

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...

AI‐Driven Circular Construction Waste Management for Advancing Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) represents up to 40% of global solid waste, posing a significant barrier to achieving circular economy (CE) objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. However, construction waste management (CWM) systems remain constrained by fragmented data environments ...
