Barriers to domestic retrofit quality: Are failures in retrofit standards a failure of retrofit standards? [PDF]
Indoor and Built Environment, 2021 Thermal retrofits of homes are central to the UK's fuel poverty and net zero carbon policies but there are concerns about poor quality installation and so new standards are to be introduced (PAS2035). We have explored retrofit installers' perceptions of the barriers to installing internal wall insulation (IWI) and of current regulations and standards ...

Experimental Research on Damping Effect of Double-Layer Tuned Mass Damper for High-Rise Structure
Shock and Vibration, 2021 A double-layer tuned mass damper (DTMD) has advantages of wide damping frequency band and strong robustness. At present, there is a lack of seismic design methods for high-rise structures based on DTMDs.

Compression performance analysis of multi-scale modified concrete based on response surface method
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022 The natural multi-scale defects in concrete are important factors affecting the performance. To comprehensively improve the performance of concrete, a method of adding variety materials into concrete to improve the defects from nano-micron-millimeter ...

Retrofitting Typestates into Rust [PDF]
25th Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages, 2021 As software permeates our lives, bugs become increasingly expensive; the best way to reduce their cost is to reduce the number of bugs. Of course, this is easier said than done and, at best, we can go after their root causes to mitigate them. One of such causes is state, whether it is the state of a light bulb (i.e.

Effect assessment for the interaction between shaking table and eccentric load
Scientific Reports, 2022 Electro-hydraulic shaking table is an essential experimental apparatus to evaluate structural performance under actual vibration condition. The control-structure interaction (CSI) between shaking table and eccentric load has lately received considerable ...

Gravity mediation retrofitted [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013 Most discussion of metastable dynamical supersymmetry breaking (MDSB) has focussed on low energy breaking, as in gauge mediation. It is of interest to consider possible implications for intermediate scale breaking ("gravity mediation"), especially as the early LHC results suggest the possibility that supersymmetry, if broken at relatively low energies,

Europe’s constitutional retrofit [PDF]
Global Constitutionalism, 2023 AbstractThe various and diverse academic responses to the Conference on the Future of Europe’s efforts at democratic renewal, including those by Ben Crum, Markus Patberg and Sandra Seubert, speak not only to the lack of a clear institutional locus or pathway associated with the Conference, but also to differing understandings of the basic conditions of

Retrofitting parallelism onto OCaml [PDF]
Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages, 2020 OCaml is an industrial-strength, multi-paradigm programming language, widely used in industry and academia. OCaml is also one of the few modern managed system programming languages to lack support for shared memory parallel programming. This paper describes the design, a full-fledged implementation and evaluation of a mostly-concurrent garbage ...
