From Julius Caesar to Sustainable Composite Materials: A Passage through Port Caisson Technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The breakwater construction technique using floating concrete caissons is well-known nowadays as a widespread system. Yet do we really know its origin? Since Julius Caesar used this technology in Brindisi (Italy) up to the Normandy landings in June 1944,

‘Good Enough’: The Use of Satisficing in the Design of Disruptive Innovation in Emerging Economies

open access: yesCreativity and Innovation Management, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 17-39, March 2026.
ABSTRACT While design has been acknowledged as a fundamental driver of innovation, questions remain about how design affects disruptive innovation from the perspective of consumer perceptions. Drawing from Simon's insights of bounded rationality and satisficing applied within the technology acceptance model (TAM), we propose an integrated, customer ...

Advanced Porous Materials for Maritime Carbon Capture

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 8, 6 February 2026.
Carbon capture from emission sources, such as marine vessels, has attracted significant attention over the years. To achieve this goal, sorbents such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), porous polymer networks (PPNs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and their post‐synthetic modifications are currently being explored.
