The analysis of implementation options of transverse joints of bitumen sheets [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
One of the most frequent sources of faults on flat roofs is a violation of the waterproof layers along the transverse joints between bitumen sheets. This fault is caused by a failure to adhere to the technological methodologies.

Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by

Investigation Into the Dynamics of the Cupula in the Vestibular Organ of Adult Zebrafish Using Metabolic Glycoengineering

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The cupula is a membrane within the vestibular organ that senses rotatory accelerations of the head. Metabolic glycoengineering in combination with bioorthogonal labeling demonstrates that in adult zebrafish – being a model for the human inner ear – this membrane is constantly renewed.

Concrete flat roof defects in equatorial climates [PDF]

, 2015
In recent year, many building in Malaysia have designed for a concrete flat roof rather than traditional pitched roof.There are also buildings that incorporate design slope roofs and flat roofs that keep facility equipment in the flat roof area.

Dorsal Raphe VIP Neurons Are Critical for Survival‐Oriented Vigilance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DRNVIP neurons in mice and primates are strategically positioned to influence the central extended amygdala via feedback loops. They regulate the excitability of PKC‐δ neurons in the ovBNST and CeA through glutamate release. Their ablation heightens activity in these regions, disrupts active‐phase sleep architecture, enhances risk assessment behaviors ...

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,

Extensive Roof Greenery as a Response to Heat Islands: Some Problems

Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2021
Extensive roof greenery is one of the ways to reduce the extent and impact of urban heat islands. A prerequisite is the correct design and operation of both the structural and vegetation part of a roof.

Assessing the photovoltaic potential of flat roofs: insights from the analysis of optimised array arrangements [PDF]

, 2018
PV installations on flat roofs offer a wide range of design options, which are usually neglected in urban-scale assessments as these typically assume horizontal or other fixed arrangements.
