Re-Identifying the Rebound – What About Asymmetry? [PDF]
Rebound eff ects measure the behaviorally induced off set in the reduction of energy consumption following effi ciency improvements. Using panel estimation methods and household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2009, this study ...

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms' international revenues help diversify revenue sources and reduce reliance on home markets, yet remain hard to grow given complex regulations, cultural differences and fierce competition. Grounded in the resource‐based view, we argue that social sustainability is a valuable, rare, inimitable and non‐substitutable resource that promotes ...

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance
Droplet, EarlyView.Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Development of correlation graph between concrete compressive strength and rebound hammer number / Noor Abiedah Fawzi [PDF]
, 2006 Rebound hammer method is applicable in three distinct areas such as the uniformity, comparing the quality and the most controversial while at the same time also most widely used is estimating the concrete strength.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An emerging consensus calls for transformative climate governance. However, what instigates and sustains transformative pathways remains unclear. This study characterises the existence, quality and structural underpinnings of transformative governance capacities in local government climate change response in Aotearoa New Zealand, applying a ...

Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Antarctic Peninsula Rocks: Schmidt Hammer Rebound Test
Sains Malaysiana, 2017 The uniaxial compressive strength test is a destructive and time consuming test. A number of non-destructive methods using portable testing equipment are more applicable and easier to conduct. This paper presents the results of a systematic approach to determine the uniaxial compressive strength of rock material using the Schmidt hammer rebound test. A

NDT assessment of existing concrete structures: spatial analysis of rebound hammer results recorded in-situ [PDF]
, 2015 A comparative spatial analysis of surface hardness of structural concrete is introduced. Main objective of the paper is to make a repeatability comparison of three types of the still most popular non-destructive testing devices for concrete: L-type ...
