Comparing the Standards of Life Cycle Carbon Assessment of Buildings: An Analysis of the Pros and Cons

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Buildings play a substantial role in carbon emissions and contribute to approximately 37% of global carbon emissions. In order to control and reduce the carbon emissions of buildings, a report of life cycle carbon assessment (LCCA) has been mandated for ...

Isolated left common carotid artery in an infant with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2019
Isolation of the left common carotid artery (LCCA) is a very rare congenital aortic arch anomaly. We present this finding in a female infant with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum, with a clinical diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome.

Immersive Visualization for Enhanced Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Modern biomedical computer simulations produce spatiotemporal results that are often viewed at a single point in time on standard 2D displays. An immersive visualization environment (IVE) with 3D stereoscopic capability can mitigate some shortcomings of ...

An approach to solve Slavnov-Taylor identities in nonsupersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present a way to solve Slavnov--Taylor identities in a general nonsupersymmetric theory. The solution can be parametrized by a limited number of functions of spacetime coordinates, so that all the effective fields are dressed by these functions via ...

Sustainable Assessment of Concrete Repairs through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA)

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2022
Nowadays, a vast number of concrete structures are approaching the end of their expected service life. The need for maintenance and repair is high due to the continued deterioration of the existing building inventory and infrastructure, resulting in a ...

Origin and evolution of water oxidation before the last common ancestor of the Cyanobacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Photosystem II, the water oxidizing enzyme, altered the course of evolution by filling the atmosphere with oxygen. Here, we reconstruct the origin and evolution of water oxidation at an unprecedented level of detail by studying the phylogeny of all D1 ...
