Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]
, 2015 Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.

Synthesis of Poly(Itaconate)s With High Monomer Conversion Applying Emulsion Polymerization
Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1284-1296, 15 March 2025.Itaconic acid and its derivatives are a promising and bio‐based substitute for oil‐based polymers such as acrylates. In this study, the optimization of polymerization of itaconic acid esters is described by applying emulsion polymerization leading to high reaction conversions and low residual monomer contents. ABSTRACT Itaconic acid and its derivatives

Fixed Tree Games with Repeated Players [PDF]
This paper introduces fixed tree games with repeated players (FRP games) which are a generalization of standard fixed tree games.This generalization consists in allowing players to be located in more than one vertex.As a consequence, these players can ...

Spectral characterization of plant diversity in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.How well can airborne imaging spectroscopy detect plant diversity in vertically complex agroforestry systems? We tested this in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, using high‐resolution hyperspectral data. We calculated spectral alpha and beta diversity and compared them to field‐based plant diversity.

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.This study develops a series of unimolecular photoinitiators, BP‐S1‐5, by incorporating hydrogen‐donating groups into a benzophenone framework. This method reduces the reliance on co‐initiators, and enables BP‐S1‐5 with efficient photoinitiation and excellent molding capability.

Design philosophy issues of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete structures
, 2002 The conventional design philosophy for reinforced concrete (RC) relies heavily on the ductile properties of steel. These ductile properties are used as a "fuse" and conceal the large uncertainty in the determination of modes of failure caused ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.
