Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Impact of Different Building Roof Types on Hydrological Processes at the Urban Community Scale

Hydrology
As urbanization accelerates and urban hydrological cycles evolve, roof typology emerges as a pivotal role in water retention capacity and drainage efficiency. To systematically evaluate the influence of various roof types on urban hydrological processes,

Experimental Study of the Fire Behaviour on Flat Roof Constructions with Multiple Photovoltaic (PV) Panels

Fire technology, 2018
Fire experiments were conducted on four mock-up roof constructions with an array of six photovoltaic (PV) panels to study the fire dynamics and flame spread behaviour, so as to better characterise the fire risks of such a system.

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Study of Gob-Side Entry Retaining Technology with Roof Cutting under Upper Roadway Condition

Shock and Vibration, 2021
Gob-side entry retaining technology with roof cutting (GERRC) has been widely used in flat and near-flat coal seam conditions, but its application under inclined coal seam is still very deficient.

Governing Flat-Roof Constructions: A Case Study

Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, 2018
A lean construction process depends on reliable procuring and governing of materials. This paper examines the case of flat roof constructions. It is based on an assumption that current practice might lead to a risk of premature roof failures.

Cycling Performance of Sodium‐Metal Chloride Battery Cells and Modules Based on Iron and Zinc

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
High‐utilization sodium–metal chloride cells with a mixed‐metal Fe, Zn, NaCl cathode enable efficient high‐temperature cycling (300°C) while reducing cost and environmental impact. Near‐theoretical capacity and high efficiency are achieved in single cells.

Local Construction Employment and Binge Drinking Among US Adults in Their Early 30s: Insights From a Path Analysis

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Construction workers face elevated risks of alcohol misuse—especially binge drinking—due to physically demanding labor, long hours, and limited paid vacation. At the same time, emerging evidence suggests that a larger local construction sector may have protective community‐level effects on alcohol and other drug outcomes.

Roof Shape Design for Ice Rinks in Cold Regions under Carbon Reduction Targets

Buildings
In the midst of today’s energy crisis, carbon emissions from ice rinks in cold regions present a significant environmental challenge. The shape of an ice rink’s roof significantly influences these emissions. This study developed a methodology to quantify

‘Hurry Up and Get Me out of Here’: The Experience of People Under 65 Years (Still) Stuck in Aged Care

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, the Australian Government set a target for no‐one under 65 years of age to be living in residential aged care (RAC) by 2025. The numbers of young people in residential aged care (YPIRAC) have significantly declined since the start of the targets.
