Environmental performance of rainwater harvesting strategies in Mediterranean buildings [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose: The rapid urbanization and the constant expansion of urban areas during the last decades have locally led to increasing water shortage. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems have the potential to be an important contributor to urban water self ...

Quantitative assessment of deconstruction buildings using a Building Deconstruction Matrix
Pacific Science Review B: Humanities and Social Sciences, 2016 Abstract This study investigates how deconstruction theory has influenced architectural design in semantic, physical and technical characteristics of buildings and proposes a new assessment tool for measuring key deconstruction criteria in every building.

Twisted supergravity and untwisted super-bigravity
, 2003 We have extended previous analysis of the bulk/brane supersymmetrizations involving non-zero brane mass terms of bulk fermions (gravitini) and twisting of boundary conditions.

Deconstructing Approximate Offsets [PDF]
, 2011 We consider the offset-deconstruction problem: Given a polygonal shape Q with n vertices, can it be expressed, up to a tolerance \eps in Hausdorff distance, as the Minkowski sum of another polygonal shape P with a disk of fixed radius?

Deconstructing Viral Shells To Understand Its Building Blocks [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Bacteriophages are known to carry their highly compressed genome under pressure in nanometer sized protein containers (capsids). f29 is a double-stranded DNA Bacillus subtilis phage whose capsids are prolate icosahedrons elongated along a 5-fold symmetry axis.

The Potential of Deconstruction in Buffalo, New York [PDF]
, 2007 Building deconstruction is not a novel idea but represents an ancient practice reinvented for our modern era. Deconstruction is an environmentally friendly (yet fiscally remunerative) alternative to traditional building demolition.

Selection Strategies for Flexible Pressure Sensor Electrode Materials Toward Ultrafast Response
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reveals, for the first time, how the electrode–organic interface governs the temporal performance of flexible pressure sensors. By pairing high‐conductivity CVD PEDOT with commonly used metal electrodes, the authors demonstrate that interfacial energy alignment dictates microsecond‐scale response, providing a straightforward design strategy ...

Residential Deconstruction in Buffalo: A Viable Alternative to Demolition [PDF]
, 2007 The problem of vacancy and abandonment manifests itself in many different ways. Whether it is crime, decreasing property values, loss of tax revenue, neighborhood eyesores, or removing the condemned structures, the City of Buffalo is facing a monumental ...
