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.

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 Fat Metabolism [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2009 In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Liao and colleagues have applied a novel synthetic approach to fight obesity in animals by engineering the plant glyoxylate shunt in vivo (Dean et al., 2009). The idea of introducing an entirely foreign metabolic pathway opens up opportunities for understanding metabolism and creating novel potential therapeutic ...

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 ...

Retrofitting Memory: Retrofitting a Non-Physical Architecture [PDF]
, 2021 <p>This project looks at how destroyed architecture, although physically lost, fundamentally continues to exist within human memories as a non-physical entity. The site chosen is Avonside Girls’ High School in Christchurch, New Zealand, a school heavily damaged during the February 22nd earthquake in 2011.

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,

Eurasian Journal of Science and Engineering, 2023 The defective structures must be retrofitted to resist the effects of earthquakes due to the potential risks connected with reinforced concrete structures designed in many parts of the world in accordance with codes that are now proven to guarantee ...

Investigation on Performance of Heritage Masonry Structures [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2023 A structural assessment study on the “Humayun Palace” in Tamil Nadu, a cultural heritage structure, constructed in the early 1700’s was done. Based on the original design documentation collected through records, a static analysis model of the building ...

Local Culture and Urban Retrofit: Reflections on Policy and Preferences for Wall and Roof Materials
Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2021 Retrofitting strategies aim to reduce environmental footprints promoting the development or upgrade of existing infrastructure. One crucial aspect of successful retrofitting strategies is local culture, which can harmonise or come into conflict with ...
