Lightweight foamed concrete for prefabricated house [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016
This paper presents the result of a study on using protein foam agent to produce lightweight concrete for a prefabricated house. The cement sand ratio used in this study are two variations ratio of 2:1 and 1:2. While, the ratio of water-cement (w/c) are 0.5 and 0.4 with 25% foam by mass.

Human Brain Vasculature‐on‐a‐Chip Model Constructed With Microvessels Isolated From Cryopreserved Postmortem Human Brain Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This manuscript describes the cultivation of viable microvessels from cryopreserved human brain tissue. When embedded in hydrogels and cultured in microfluidic devices, these microvessels exhibit complex architectures reminiscent of arterioles and capillaries, can be perfused, and display intact barrier function. Collectively, these results demonstrate

Design of a Reconfigurable Microfluidic System Enabled by Magnetic Miniature Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Magnetic miniature robots are integrated into microfluidic chips to achieve real‐time reconfiguration. By external magnetic actuation, the robots perform sorting, mixing, flow regulation, and bubble removal on demand. This versatile platform eliminates the need for complex on‐chip hardware and enables adaptive control for biological and chemical ...

Hyperledger Fabric for the (digitalized) lifecycle of construction products: Applied review on fastening technology

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 9-22, March 2025.
Abstract Blockchain technology is a digital decentralized data ledger recording transactions in an encrypted format. Its implementation can potentially hold significant advantages for the built environment, particularly in manufacturing and building product usage aligned with Building Information Modeling (BIM). This paradigm shift toward decentralized
