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 ...

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.

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 ...

Impact of Measurement Uncertainty on Building Modeling and Retrofitting Decisions
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 Retrofitting buildings is essential for improving the existing global building stock. Innovations in wireless sensor networks have provided new means for scalable and potentially low-cost solutions for evaluating optimal retrofit measures in a building ...

Seismic Performances of Replaceable Steel Connection with Low Yield Point Metal
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015 Compared with the traditional steel rigid connection, the beam-column connections with weakened beam end have better ductility, but the local buckling in the weakened zone and the overall lateral deformation may occur in strong earthquake.

Experimental Investigation of MgAl-NO2 and MgAl-CO3 LDHs on Durability of Mortar and Concrete
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Two kinds of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), MgAl-NO2 (N-LDH) and MgAl-CO3 (C-LDH), were incorporated to study the durability of mortar and concrete. The LDH contents of mortar were 1%, 2%, and 4% by mass and the LDH contents of concrete were 0.5%, 1%,
