White‐Light‐Mediated Imidazole Catalysis Toward Terpene‐Based Thermosets

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
White‐light irradiation enables the photoinitiator‐free curing of fully bio‐based terpene epoxy–anhydride systems. A light‐induced switch in epoxide ring‐opening selectivity leads to colorless, transparent thermosets with enhanced thermomechanical performance, revealing an unexpected pathway for sustainable terpene‐based network formation.

Elements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the Production of Wood Buildings

Tehnički Glasnik, 2020
We are on the threshold of a technological revolution that fundamentally changes the way we live, work and communicate with each other. To some extent, scale and complexity, this transformation will be as fundamental to humanity as no other technological

The influence of the processes of design and redesign of construction works on the performance of the production for the enterprises of building Industry [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Design and redesign of construction works is a formal and informal specification relating to the actions of the individual, including both structural and interpersonal aspects of the work, taking into account the needs and demands of both the organization and the individual.

Austrocedrus from the Late Cretaceous of Antarctica and its implications for the early evolution of southern cypresses (Callitroideae, Cupressaceae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The modern distribution of the southern cypresses, Callitroideae (Cupressaceae), reflects a classic Gondwanan distribution. The initial diversification of Callitroideae is estimated to have occurred during the Cretaceous, yet fossils from this period are rare, hampering our understanding of its early evolutionary history.

Biosynthesis and Genetic Tuning of Guanine Crystals via Metabolic Engineering of Yeast

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We demonstrate how yeast cells can be harnessed as cellular factories for the synthesis of optically functional guanine crystals, where genetic editing is used to tune crystal size, order and optical properties. This demonstrates a powerful new biosynthetic approach for the development of sustainable and biocompatible optical pigments, which utilizes ...

Self-supporting thin Shells in Italy. Space and Structure of the Industrial Buildings (1930-1970)

Informes de la Construccion
In the Twentieth Century, the industrial buildings featured a broad experimentation on the load-bearing structures suited to the production spaces. Among the structural elements explicitly designed for factories were reinforced concrete thin shells.

Designing for unsupervised construction : an investigation of the affordances of on-site autonomy

, 2021
Since the First Industrial Revolution, the construction and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure has been characterized by a reliance upon heavy equipment, which has shaped how designers and engineers conceive of their agency in the built ...

Internet use and adolescent development: A conceptual model integrating behavioral and contextual theories

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the digital era, adolescent development is deeply embedded in the cyber environment. Despite ongoing debate on the benefits and/or risks that Internet use brings to adolescents in empirical studies, conceptual and theoretical discussion on the influences of the intensity and modalities of Internet use is peripheral.
