Urban Transformation of a Former Pencil Factory Complex—A Case Study of ‘TOZ Penkala’ in Zagreb

open access: yesBuildings
The subject of this research is the former Zagreb pencil factory (‘TOZ’—Tvornica olovaka Zagreb), which manufactured pencils and pastels since 1937. During the 1970s and 1980s, it was one of the most important factories that produced school and office ...

Non-demolition measurements of observables with general spectra

open access: yes, 2017
It has recently been established that, in a non-demolition measurement of an observable $\mathcal{N}$ with a finite point spectrum, the density matrix of the system approaches an eigenstate of $\mathcal{N}$, i.e., it "purifies" over the spectrum of ...

Sequestering atmospheric CO2 inorganically:a solution for Malaysia's CO2 emission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Malaysia is anticipating an increase of 68.86% in CO2 emission in 2020, compared with the 2000 baseline, reaching 285.73 million tonnes. A major contributor to Malaysia's CO2 emissions is coal-fired electricity power plants, responsible for 43.4% of the ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Application of a BIM model for demolition work planning

open access: yesBudownictwo i Architektura
The article explores the use of BIM tools in the planning of demolition works for a structure. The analysis includes the utilization of BIM to create a three-dimensional model of the object, with a level of detail that allows for accurate cost ...

Comment on: "Measuring a Photonic Qubit without Destroying It" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Recently, Pryde et al reported the demonstration of a quantum non-demolition scheme for single-photon polarization states with linear optics and projective measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 190402 (2004)]. Here, we argue that their interpretation of the

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Housing Abandonment and Demolition: Exploring the Use of Micro-Level and Multi-Year Models

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2015
Policies focusing on enforcing property code violations and the improvement of vacant properties are argued to be more efficacious than demolition policies to fight urban blight.

The Potential of Deconstruction in Buffalo, New York [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
