Damage risk assessment in historic buildings using equivalent wall-parts [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Damage risks in historic buildings are often connected to moisture level, in turn related to temperature. Hence, when damage risk is being assessed, the risk at the points in the geometry of the building where the heat flow is the largest, for instance ...

Opportunities for financing sustainable development using complementary local currencies [PDF]

, 2019
Financing building retrofit projects that contribute to climate change mitigation has always represented a significant barrier. With 28% of global emissions coming from existing buildings, it is of paramount importance to carry out retrofit measures that

On the influence of mix design and pre-conditioning on the CO2- uptake of cementitious materials [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences
The cement and concrete sectors are known for their significant contribution to CO2 emissions. Carbonation curing of concrete precast elements in a CO₂-rich atmosphere is a sustainable approach to reducing the carbon footprint of these industries while ...

Effects of a quantitative trait locus for increased muscularity on carcass traits measured by subjective conformation and fat class scores and video image analysis in crossbred lambs

Animal, 2009
A quantitative trait locus (QTL) for increased loin muscularity (TM-QTL) has previously been identified in purebred Texel sheep. Crossbred lambs born out of Mule ewes mated to heterozygous Texel sires for the TM-QTL were evaluated for a range of carcass ...
