Research on Aroma-Releasing Flooring based on KANO-AHP-TRIZ Model

open access: yesBioResources
The concept of the "olfactory economy" has recently emerged as a novel consumer trend. Flooring has been observed to emit an undesirable olfactory sensation during its initial use.

Numerical Simulations of 5‐Story Building Using Wood Light‐Frame Shear Walls and Post‐Tensioned Cross‐Laminated Timber Rocking Wall Dual Systems

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

THE POTENTIAL OF OIL PALM TRUNK BIOMASS AS AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE FOR COMPRESSED WOOD

open access: yesBioResources, 2012
Compressed wood, which is formed by a process that increases the wood’s density, aims to improve its strength and dimensional stability. Compressed wood can be used in building and construction, especially for construction of walls and flooring ...

Energy‐Flow Regimes and Their Temporal Transitions in a PV‐Building System

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Unlike production and consumption, which act as external factors, generated energy flows reflect the system's internal behavior regarding energy allocation at each time step. The combination of self‐consumption, surplus, and import of surplus energy into the power grid characterizes how electricity is routed between the building's local consumption and

Managing equine asthma: Owner adherence, practical constraints and environmental protocol evaluation

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adherence to recommendations for environmental management is central to equine asthma (EA) treatment. Reasons for non‐adherence warrant further investigation. Objectives To: (1) evaluate adherence to recommendations for environmental changes, identify reasons for incomplete implementation, assess changes in clinical signs and ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.
