Controlled inlet airflow in ventilated facades: a numerical analysis

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Abstract A research study was conducted to investigate the summer thermal performance of different ventilated façades, by means of experimentally validated numerical simulation. Three ventilated configurations were tested: L, with a lightweight external layer, IM and EM with a massive cladding respectively in the inner and outer side of ...

Workplace peer support for continuing professional development in occupational therapy: A grounded theory

open access: yesAustralian Occupational Therapy Journal, Volume 73, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Introduction Occupational therapists engage in continuing professional development (CPD) through various means, including workplace experiences. Workplace discussions between peers can promote reflection and foster learning. However, the specific contribution of peer support in occupational therapists' CPD remains underexplored.

Computer-simulation study on fire behaviour in the ventilated cavity of ventilated façade systems

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2013
Fire spread through the façades is widely recognized as one of the fastest pathways of fire spreading in the buildings. Fire may spread through the façade in different ways depending on the type of façade system and on the elements and materials from ...

Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...

Influence of Manganese Dioxide (MnO2) Coated Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Spikelet Fibers on the Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties of Fiber Cement Composites

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
MnO2‐coated OPEFB fibers produced via a simple wet process showed smoother surfaces and significantly reduced water absorption in fiber cement composites, enhancing moisture resistance. ABSTRACT The use of natural fibers in cement‐based composites is increasingly encouraged as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers; however, their inherent ...
