Towards the Use of Yellow Clay in Fired Bricks

, 2021
This chapter deals with the study of the possibility of using yellow clay - which was only used in pottery so far- in the civil engineering field as building materials, especially in the field of fired bricks. With the aim to improve the technological properties of yellow clay based bricks, two wastes were used as secondary raw materials. The first one

Measuring “third places”: Comparing neighborhood data for cognitive health research

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Neighborhood “third places” are increasingly studied as contextual determinants of cognitive health, yet the reliability of geospatial datasets is poorly understood. METHODS We evaluated Advan Research, Data Axle, FourSquare, and the National Establishment Time Series (NETS) across five categories: cafes/coffee shops, civic/social

The Enduring Allure of Neoliberalism: Individualising Responsibility for Housing Costs in the English Private Rental Sector

The Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 3, Page 467-491, May 2026.
This paper explores how the affordability of rents is addressed in the long‐anticipated reform of the English private rental sector (PRS) by the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. The PRS has doubled in size since 2010, acting as a social housing substitute for some households.

Archives of impact: The politics of craters on Earth

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
This paper examines Earth’s 195 confirmed impact craters as archives, exploring their cataloguing and presentation as heritage sites. It argues Western scientific framings using military language and emphasising catastrophe overlook settler colonialism’s violent histories and marginalise indigenous earth‐sky cosmologies.

The disappearance of malaria from Denmark, 1862–1900

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 555-574, May 2026.
Abstract The reason for malaria's disappearance from northwestern Europe in the early twentieth century has long been discussed but remains an unresolved conundrum. This is partially due to a previous focus on the early modern era, and partially because various theories have never been tested against each other.

Housing crisis: Waste glass-stabilized clay for use as fired clay bricks

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Abstract Scarce and expensive housing and consumer waste disposal are global challenges in today’s world. This study investigated the engineering properties of a clay stabilized with three waste glass sizes (less than 75 μm, greater than 150 μm but less than 75 μm, and less than 300 μm but greater than 150 μm) for the production of burnt
