Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Trends in Cooling Degree Days for Building Energy Estimation in Latvia
Construction Science, 2013 Calculation of cooling degree days (CDDs) and hours (CDHs) is one of the simplest methods to describe the effect of outside air temperature on building cooling energy consumption. Calculations of CDD numbers and analysis of trends were performed using 10-year data of outdoor temperature, measured at the meteorological station in Riga (Latvia).

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Powder metal processing provides scalable advantages in nanoporous (np) metal development. Mechanical alloying is used to produce unique precursors for hybrid nanopore formation by oxide reduction and dealloying. As demonstrated in np Ag, this approach improves process efficiency while promoting smaller ligaments and larger pores, both of which are ...

Evaluation of the energy impact of PCM tiles in an Airport Terminal Departure hall [PDF]
, 2013 Copyright @ 2013 CIBSEIn most past studies, passive PCM (phase change materials) systems have been tested for relatively small office spaces where the airflow is of minimal consequence in the overall energy consumption of the space.

The Light Curve of Supernova 1987A: The Structure of the Presupernova and Radioactive Nickel Mixing [PDF]
, 2003 We have studied the influence of the presupernova structure and the degree of Ni-56 mixing on the bolometric light curve of SN 1987A in terms of radiation hydrodynamics in the one-group approximation by abandoning LTE and by taking into account ...
