Transformation and acceleration of the construction supply chain through smart factories
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 The European building stock is in high need of refurbishment due to its contribution to excessive global energy consumption. In the North-Sea Region (NSR) alone there are 22 million houses built between 1950 and 1985 with an annual CO2 emission of 79 ...

Adoption of prefabricated housing–the role of country context [PDF]
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2016 This exploratory paper examines secondary sources to develop hypotheses for future testing in quantitative research, around the question 'How do housing industry contexts in different countries influence the adoption of prefabricated housing construction?' This is a management study of innovation adoption.

Studies of the Prefabricated Housing Construction Market in Poland [PDF]
Selected Scientific Papers - Journal of Civil Engineering, 2014 Abstract The directions of development of the construction market are not only related to the need to own one’s own home but also to increasing functional and economic requirements and conditions of sustainable development. The perception and understanding of prefabrication in housing construction are undoubtedly starting to change ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report a fully wireless, circuit‐free neural stimulator built on a millimetric magneto‐mechano‐electric (MME) cantilever transducer (3 × 10 × 5 mm) with a barium titanate (BTO) piezoelectric ceramic core. Under low‐frequency alternating magnetic fields, the MME cantilever mechanically oscillates, inducing stress on the BTO element and thereby ...

Challenges of prefabricated housing in China
Architecture and the Built Environment, 2021 Recently, the implementation of prefabricated housing (PH) has become prevalent in China to achieve sustainability while ensuring green construction, innovative products, and higher quality. However, numerous challenges arise, such as the overrun costs, inexperienced workers, and the inefficient management process. High transaction costs (TCs) occur in

Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the psychological effects of migration detention in the European Union's Closed Controlled Access Center (CCAC) on Samos through an ecological lens. It explores a double normalization of suffering: the brutalization of necropolitical migration governance and the simultaneous understanding of resulting distress as an ...

Platform Thinking as a Catalyst for Circular Innovation in Low‐ and Medium‐Tech Industries
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Growing pressures to replace linear with circular models challenge organisations to innovate continuously and to absorb new knowledge. While platform thinking has been examined as an enabler of innovation in high‐tech industries, its relevance in low‐ and medium‐tech industries, like construction, remains underexplored.
