Behaviour of masonry lateral loaded walls made with sediment-based bricks from the Usumacinta river (Mexico)

Cleaner Engineering and Technology, 2022
A feasibility study on Usumacinta River sediment-based bricks for resilient housing adapted to both climate change and seismic risks is performed on laterally loaded reduced-scale walls.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with left bundle branch block: Patterns of dyssynchrony and implications for late gadolinium enhancement imaging

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundLeft bundle branch block (LBBB) is a ventricular conduction delay with high prevalence. Aim of our study is to identify possible recurring patterns of artefacts in late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging in patients with LBBB who undergo ...

Epitaxial growth of β-Ga2O3 by hot-wall MOCVD

AIP Advances, 2022
The hot-wall metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) concept, previously shown to enable superior material quality and high performance devices based on wide bandgap semiconductors, such as Ga(Al)N and SiC, has been applied to the epitaxial growth

Phase-Resolved Reorganization of Seismic Load Paths in a Full-Scale Mass-Timber Rocking-Wall Building

Buildings
Self-centering rocking systems redistribute seismic demand as contact conditions at structural interfaces change during excitation. Conventional peak-response measures, global-response model calibration, and system-identification summaries can obscure ...

Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Steel Moment Resisting Frame with a New Precast Self-Centering Rocking Shear Wall System

Buildings, 2022
In this paper, a new precast self-centering rocking shear wall system (PSCRSW) mainly composed of precast reinforced concrete (RC) wall, V-shaped steel brace and pre-pressed disc spring friction damper (PDSFD) are proposed to enhance the seismic ...

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Vertical FRP Rebars

Buildings, 2020
The out-of-plane behaviour of the walls as a consequence of an earthquake is the main vulnerability of existing masonry structures. In the case of rigid in compression not tensile resistant material, incremental dynamic analyses may be employed to ...
