CoSP: Reconfigurable Metamaterial Inverse Design via Contrastive Pretrained Large Language Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, CoSP (contrastive multi‐state pretrain), an intelligent inverse design method for reconfigurable metamaterials based on a contrastive pretrained large language model, is proposed. Numerical experiments demonstrate that CoSP can design reconfigurable metamaterial structures for multi‐state, multi‐band optical responses, showing great ...

Bond behaviour of thin concrete overlays for maintenance of concrete pavements

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Concrete pavements are exposed to a number of stresses during their service life, mostly resulting from traffic and climate conditions. In consideration of the continuously rising traffic volume, the durability requirements of concrete pavements become ...

Defining the Attributes of Good In-Service Portland Cement Concrete Pavements, December 2004 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Much of the current research in portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements deals with the analysis of early pavement life failures and seeks to find ways to prevent those from reoccurring.

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Perspectives on using Basalt Fiber Filaments in the Construction and Rehabilitation of Highway Pavements and Airport Runways

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2016
With the ageing transportation infrastructure, many transportation agencies across the world are focussing on rehabilitating and improving existing pavements. This means more roadwork on pavements open to vehicular traffic. Considering the rapid increase
