‘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.

Zur Besiedlung begrünter Gebäudedächer durch Araneen [PDF]

, 2012
Auf Flachdächern im Stadtgebiet von Osnabrück (Niedersachsen) wurde die Araneenfauna mit Hilfe von Bodenfallen untersucht. Hierbei fanden sowohl der Gradient zunehmender Urbanität von der Peripherie zum Stadtzentrum als auch das Alter der Dächer und ihre

In-situ U-value-measurements of wood frame roofs: analysis of deviations between measured and design performance [PDF]

, 2013
The hygrothermal performance of various lightweight sloped roof designs was monitored in the KULeuven VLIET testbuilding for 2 years (Janssens et al. 1998). One of the aims of the investigation was to evaluate whether the design U-value of 0.18 W/m²K was

Urban wind energy conversion: the potential of ducted turbines [PDF]

, 2008
The prospects for urban wind power are discussed. A roof-mounted ducted wind turbine, which uses pressure differentials created by wind flow around a building, is proposed as an alternative to more conventional approaches.

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Holistic sustainability assessment of textile-reinforced concrete compared to structural concrete using the example of a roof construction

Cleaner Environmental Systems
Concrete construction faces growing sustainability challenges due to increasing climate requirements and changing labor conditions. Textile-reinforced concrete offers substantial potential by enabling lighter and more resource-efficient components ...

Grey water phytodepuration systems integrated in flat green roofs [PDF]

, 2010
The research about new grey water reuse systems can not only help to reduce the volume of drinkable water applied in domestic uses, besides allows to diminish the urban wastewater volume to be treated.

The revision of baphetids from the Middle Pennsylvanian of the Czech Republic: Morphology, ontogeny, palaeoecology, and the reassessment of the phylogeny of Baphetoidea

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The baphetoids represent a clade of the Carboniferous stem‐tetrapods (Middle Mississippian—Middle Pennsylvanian) with a characteristic extension of the orbits into antorbital vacuities, which formed keyhole‐shaped openings on the skull. The more derived baphetids were crocodile‐like piscivores frequently occurring in coal‐bearing lacustrine ...

Using Edible Plant and Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) to Strengthen the Thermal Performance of Extensive Green Roofs in Subtropical Urban Areas

Energies, 2019
Gazing at natural landscapes and participating in agricultural activities can elicit psychophysiological restoration. However, most buildings are constructed merely to meet the minimum legal requirements for structure weight load.
