Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Experience of Upgrading Existing Windows with VIG
Challenging Glass Conference ProceedingsExisting windows are often equipped with IGU (Insulation Glass Units) glazing of low thermal performance. A change of several decades old IGU glazing with an up-to-date triple IGU is often not possible due to geometry (thickness) or restricted load ...

Roll‐to‐Roll Processing of Biodegradable Multilayer Barrier Packaging Structures
Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.This work demonstrates that novel packaging materials built using biobased and biodegradable materials can be produced in pilot‐scale and converted into functional barrier packaging. The proposed structures are anticipated to make a strong impact in use‐cases where the risk of environmental littering is elevated, such as snacks and take away meals ...

Effect of Different Surface Treatments on Resistance to Abrasive Wear of AISI 4140 Steel
steel research international, EarlyView.This study investigates how different surface treatments affect resistance to abrasive wear of AISI 4140 Steel. The wear rate was significantly higher in samples subjected to conventional treatments than in samples coated using the HVOF process, demonstrating the superior efficiency of coatings applied by thermal spraying in mitigating abrasive wear ...

PROPERTIES AND PERFORMANCE OF VACUUM INSULATED GLAZING
Journal of Green Building, 2014 INTRODUCTION As energy codes become more stringent, maximising the energy efficiency of the glazing used in buildings becomes of greater importance. Many new solutions have been proposed to reduce heat transfer through windows. One such technology that is currently growing in prominence is vacuum insulated glazing (VIG).

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.La0.5Sr3.5Fe3O7.5F2.6, a rare n = 3 Ruddlesden–Popper oxyfluoride, exhibits robust antiferromagnetism across a wide temperature range from 1.7 to 470 K. Temperature‐dependent neutron diffraction reveals an orthorhombic nuclear and a monoclinic magnetic structure, while Mößbauer spectroscopy shows persistent short‐range magnetic order up to 525 K.
