The rediscovery of traditional urbanism at Melrose Arch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Contemporary urban form, particularly in the cities of South Africa, lacks distinction and quality. The majority of developments are conceived as private and dislocated initiatives, surveiled enclaves with gated access being the only conduit to the ...

Principles of New Urbanism: The image of the future

open access: yesПроект Байкал
The New Urbanism model, an alternative to the Corbusian city model, emerged in the 1980s. It rethinks the formal and image-symbolic structure of the historical European city and tries to solve modern problems: social, ecological, economic and aesthetic.

Plot-based urbanism : towards time-consciousness in place-making [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Some of us have recently argued that what we still miss is the serious consideration of the factor of time in urbanism, or, in other words, a deeper "time conscious" approach (Thwaites, Porta, Romice, & Greaves, 2008).

Investigation of Persistent Luminescence of Strontium Aluminate in Polymer Films for Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Application

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Persistent Luminescence of doped SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ formulated in polymer matrices is a promising solution to be integrated in building envelopes for enhancing Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling. ABSTRACT Persistent Luminescent (PersL) materials have found applications in several fields; their integration into passive daytime radiative cooling systems ...

Two‐Step Thermal Upcycling of Flexible Printed Circuit Board Waste Into Metallic Copper Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Characterization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐step thermal upcycling process converts flexible printed circuit board waste into high‐purity copper nanoparticles using polymer degradation and arc discharge. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibit controlled morphology and high metal purity.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
