Depth estimation of inner wall defects by means of infrared thermography [PDF]
, 2009 There two common methods dealing with interpreting data from infrared thermography: qualitatively and quantitatively. On a certain condition, the first method would be sufficient, but for an accurate interpretation, one should undergo the second one ...

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the causal impact of federal homeless‐assistance grants on reported homelessness and shelter capacity across 370 Continuums of Care in 2019. We exploit cross‐sectional variation in pre‐1940 housing shares, used in Community Development Block Grant formula allocations, as an instrument for combined CoC and Emergency ...

, 2018 Uniaxial compressive creep of a 90+% Al(,2)O(,3) and 50+% Al(,2)O(,3) refractory concrete was investigated. The creep behavior was evaluated as a function of aggregate packing, cement composition, and time at temperatures up to 2200(DEGREES)F and stresses up to 2500 psi;Refractory concrete crept more when heated the first time than on subsequent ...

System as a Unifying Process: An Onto‐Epistemic Notion of System
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article proposes an onto‐epistemic notion of system as a relational process of unifying a multiplicity of actuals and abstractions into an actual unity, thereby encompassing concreteness and abstraction onto the same plane. This notion rejects the opposition between constructivism and realism within systems studies, the excessive focus on

Monitoring of historical structural materials with computed tomography
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an excellent tool to solve certain engineering problems connected to material science (such as sulfate swelling, internal degradation due to freezing, and alkali silicate swelling) and to understand specific processes (frost peeling, acid action).

Refractory concrete: A material that offers new ceramic opportunities. [PDF]
, 2011 Refractory concretes (RC) are industrial materials used most commonly in high temperature applications, primarily in the steel and glass industries. In most cases they are a mix of refractory aggregate’s chosen for specific hot engineering applications ...

Structural integrity of hierarchical composites [PDF]
, 2011 Interface mechanical problems are of paramount importance in engineering and materials science. Traditionally, due to the complexity of modelling their mechanical behaviour, interfaces are often treated as defects and their features are not explored ...

THE ANALOG CITY: Maintaining Everyday Life Through Repair and Jugaad
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Urban scholarship consistently discusses improvisation and heterogeneity as central to urban life in the global South. In this article, I bring together scholarship on urban improvisation and the digital world of smart cities to understand the city as analog.
