TacEva: A Performance Evaluation Framework for Vision‐Based Tactile Sensors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces TacEva, a unified framework for evaluating vision‐based tactile sensors. It standardizes intrinsic, performance, and robustness metrics through shared experimental procedures and links them to task‐level requirements in robotic manipulation.

Comparative study on the fatigue behaviour of SCC and VC [PDF]

, 2014
Continuous cyclic loading on concrete constructions involves a progressive cracking mechanism, leading to significant changes of the material properties during the lifetime of the structure.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Comparison of Fresh and Hardened Properties of Normal, Self Compacting and Smart Dynamic Concrete

International Journal of Technology, 2018
This work investigates the fresh, mechanical and durability properties of normal, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) and Smart Dynamic Concrete (SDC), which are a new generation of concrete with a lower amount of cementitious content. SDC is a low-fine, self-

Development of self-compacting concrete [PDF]

Structures <html_ent glyph="@amp;" ascii="&amp;"/> Buildings, 2003
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) can be defined as a fresh concrete which possesses superior flowability under maintained stability (i.e. no segregation) thus allowing self-compaction – that is, material consolidation without addition of energy. It was first developed in Japan in 1988 in order to achieve durable concrete structures by improving quality ...

Charting the Course: Real‐World Application of Sustainability and Innovation Principles in the Portuguese Blue Economy Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The blue economy has emerged as a key sector for linking sustainability and innovation, yet existing research has largely overlooked how firms operationalize these processes in practice. This study addresses that gap by asking: How do Portuguese blue economy firms embed sustainability‐oriented innovation (SOI) into their strategies, and what ...

Multi-fixed smeared 3d crack model to simulate the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete structures [PDF]

, 2008
When a concrete structure is subjected to a multi-stress state, different crack modes can be developed. To simulate with enough accuracy these fracture modes, a three dimensional model must be used.

Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...

Variability of the bond and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete [PDF]

, 2008
This main objective of this research is to evaluate the variability of the mechanical properties (compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength) and bond strength of the self-compacting concrete (SCC), with 50 MPa compressive strength

Insights Into Symmetry and Substitution Patterns Governing Singlet–Triplet Energy Gap in the Chemical Space of Azaphenalenes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecules that violate Hund's rule by exhibiting an inverted singlet–triplet gap (STG), where the first excited singlet (S1${\rm S}_1$) lies below the triplet (T1${\rm T}_1$), are rare but hold great promise as efficient fifth‐generation light emitters.
