Emerging Trends and Challenges in Supply Chain Management and Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global emphasis on sustainability has been reinforced by international strategies, such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals proposed in the 2030 Agenda. These strategies have prompted a significant transformation in business management practices, leading to the integration of responsible approaches throughout the supply ...

Methodology for the Quantification of the Impact of Weather Forecasts in Predictive Simulation Models

Energies, 2019
The use of Building Energy Models (BEM) has become widespread to reduce building energy consumption. Projection of the model in the future to know how different consumption strategies can be evaluated is one of the main applications of BEM.

Interfacial fracture toughness of composite concrete beams [PDF]

, 2019
A test for measuring the interfacial fracture toughness of a bi-material interface, essentially for concrete overlaid pavements was developed. The measured interfacial fracture toughness of steel fibre-reinforced, roller-compacted, polymer modified ...

Conundrums of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensors

Small, EarlyView.
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensing faces fundamental conundrums arising from finite field decay lengths, environmental cross‐sensitivities, and batch variability. Competing surface, bulk, and electrostatic effects can induce red or blue spectral shifts, complicating quantification, reproducibility, and interpretation in complex or ...

Acoustic iridescence [PDF]

, 2011
An investigation has been undertaken into acoustic iridescence, exploring how a device can be constructed which alter sound waves, in a similar way to structures in nature that act on light to produce optical iridescence.

A remotely operated blood sampling and sedative administration device in freely moving pinnipeds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract A remotely operated device for use with freely moving pinnipeds was designed and successfully developed for the collection of blood samples and the administration of sedatives via an indwelling, venous catheter. The performance of the sampler, called the ‘Mossquito’, was demonstrated on six wild caught, young‐of‐the‐year grey seals ...

Estimation of mean radiant temperature in cities using an urban parameterization and building energy model within a mesoscale atmospheric model

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2022
During daylight hours, the mean radiant temperature Tmrt$T_{\text{mrt}}$ is one of the most important meteorological parameters to analyse heat stress for humans.

Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in

From BIM to BEM—Modern Thermal Simulations Using a Building Information Management Model: A Case Study

Applied Sciences
This article raises awareness of Building Information Management (BIM) and its significance for Construction 4.0. BIM is often mistakenly understood only as a 3D model of a building object, but its true potential lies in the information associated with ...
