STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOUR AND DESIGN OF DEMOUNTABLE CONNECTION FOR 3D MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

ce/papers
Abstract Modular construction is experiencing an expansion in recent years as the need to integrate sustainability into the lifecycle of buildings becomes a key factor for engineering projects. The (i) reduced construction waste and recyclability of structural components over traditional building systems, (ii) rapid assembly with ...

Dynamic LHCI antenna and inter-photosystem spillover enable flexible light harvesting in Euglena gracilis. [PDF]

Plant J
Significance Statement Euglena gracilis is an early diverging photosynthetic organism with a unique mosaic photosynthetic apparatus. Biochemical and spectroscopic analysis reveals a kinetically slower photosystem I sharing excitation energy with photosystem II in the absence of strict photosystem segregation.

The Semi-Natural Climate Chambers across Latitudes: A Broadly Applicable Husbandry and Experimental System for Terrestrial Ectotherms under Climate Change. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Assessing species' vulnerabilities across geographical gradients is essential for biodiversity conservation under climate change. To address this challenge, the semi‐natural climate chamber across latitudes (SCCAL) is developed, a validated system capable of simulating thermal environments for ecological experiments without reliance on water or ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of a Novel Demountable Timber–Concrete Composite Floor

Buildings, 2023
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in timber–concrete composite (TCC) floors as a sustainable structural solution. Until now, only a few studies have investigated the demounting of TCC floors, which is essential to increase ...

Performance evaluations of demountable electrical connections [PDF]

, 1993
Electrical conductors operating in cryogenic environments can require demountable connections along their lengths. The connections must have low resistance and high reliability and should allow ready assembly and disassembly. In this work, the performance of two types of connections has been evaluated.

Demountable connection for polymer optical fiber grating sensors [PDF]

Optical Engineering, 2012
The authors fabricated a demountable Ferrule connector/Physical contact connection between silica fiber and a polymer optical fiber (POF) containing a fiber Bragg grating. The use of a connector for POF grating sensors eliminates the limitations of ultraviolet glued connections and increases the ease with which the devices can be applied to real-world ...
