Design and Optimization of Floor Layers in Carbon Fiber Composites for Body‐in‐White Materials
The PSO‐BFO‐optimized partitioned carbon fiber mid‐floor achieves a 46.7% weight reduction and significantly improves the bending and torsional stiffness and modal performance of the body‐in‐white. ABSTRACT To improve the performance of the body‐in‐white (BIW) and achieve automotive lightweighting, a balanced approach across materials, techniques, and ...

Highland bamboo (Oldeania alpina (K. Schum.)) is a vital nontimber forest resource in Ethiopia, offering significant ecological and socioeconomic benefits. Although Ethiopia possesses the largest bamboo resource base in Africa, the potential of highland bamboo remains underutilized due to limited management capacity, weak institutional support, and ...

A Middle and Late Devensian sequence from the northern part of Kents Cavern (Devon, UK)
Abstract 1920s/30s excavation of a Middle Devensian sequence in the northern part of Kents Cavern recovered important Late Middle and Early Upper Palaeolithic archaeological material, including Britain's oldest known Homo sapiens remains. Questions remain about this material, including how it came to be in the cave.

Abstract During the 15th and into the mid‐16th centuries, tin‐glazed terracotta sculptures were celebrated for their luminous colours, perceived durability, and technical ingenuity of the novel medium. Although in high demand, the supply of these pieces was restricted because of the secrecy of the recipes used by the pioneers of the technique on the ...

Photovoltaic (PV) technology is generally perceived as well‐developed but suffers a drop in performance at high temperatures. Faced with this problem, researchers are turning to PV thermal (PVT) systems, which integrate electricity production and thermal energy. Flat‐plate PVT systems are the most widely adopted among the various configurations.

Net Zero Energy‐Ready Buildings: A Canadian Construction Perspective and Evaluation
The design process for net‐zero energy‐ready buildings (NZErB) enhances energy resilience. This study assesses the potential of new and retrofit buildings in Canada to achieve NZErB status, using key performance indicators. Most new buildings and many retrofit ones meet level 5 in airtightness, TEDI, MEUI, and energy efficiency, with cellulose ...

Short Abstract This paper argues for thinking mega‐events through minor theory, encouraging a concern for the micro, the marginalised, and the seemingly mundane in concert with developments at larger scales. This perspective reveals a deeper sense of the implications of, for instance, a mother and daughter walking under a new highway built for the ...

Computational Design of 2D Phosphorus Nanostructures for Renewable Energy Applications: A Review
Elemental phosphorus in its various allotropes has received tremendous research attention due to its intriguing electronic and structural properties. However, the understanding of the physical phenomena of allotropic modification is still lacking. In this review, the basic principles and importance of theoretical studies are discussed, followed by a ...

ABSTRACT The bay barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus (Darwin, 1854) has been found in Northern Germany in brackish marine sediments of the Holsteinian interglacial. Whereas the cause of the contemporary distribution of this species is anthropogenic and there is evidence that it has resulted mainly from shipping, the fossil findings demonstrate that A ...
