Endurance of the wooden bridge reinforced by the dowel plates

Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2018
The most important piece of road infrastructure is bridges. Wooden bridges have advanced constantly during the past decades. The trend began in Scandinavian countries but has also now gained significant ground in Russia.

Photochromic Donor–Acceptor Naphthalenediimides Enabling Near‐Infrared Photothermal Conversion for Seawater Desalination

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Photoinduced radical formation in donor–acceptor NDI molecules generates strong near‐infrared absorption, enabling efficient photothermal conversion and solar‐driven seawater desalination. ABSTRACT Photochromic donor–acceptor molecules that produce near‐infrared (NIR) absorption upon light activation offer promising platforms for organic photothermal ...

New Insights Into the Three‐Dimensional Mechanics of the Flagellar Beat Cycle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in imaging at the molecular scale have provided greater detail concerning the three‐dimensional structure of the ciliary/flagellar axoneme. Additionally, it has recently been confirmed that electrostatic forces regulate the dynein‐tubulin interaction at the microtubule binding domain (MTBD) of dynein, and at the junction of the nexin ...

Bio‐Inspired Sclerotization of Lignin: A Robust Adhesive for Photothermal Wood‐Based Panels

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A high‐performance lignin adhesive is engineered via an insect‐inspired sclerotization strategy involving oxidation and hyperbranched polymer grafting, overcoming lignin's adhesion failure, and yielding a wet shear strength of 1.02–1.21 MPa. The adhesive endows wood‐based panels with photothermal functionality; building energy simulations indicate HVAC‐

The Ecological U‐Turn in Nordic Forestry: Policy Learning, Measurement, and the Retrenchment of Ecological Ambitions

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, environmental policy has shifted toward ecosystem protection and biodiversity conservation, a development often described as an ecological turn. This article argues that in practice this turn has taken the form of an ecological “U‐turn,” as environmental ambitions are subordinated to production‐oriented objectives.

Bridging Policy Gaps in Transition Times: How Local Actors Navigate Low Policy Coherence for Advancing a Circular Built Environment

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The construction sector is a major contributor to the climate crisis, accounting for over one‐third of global energy‐related CO2 emissions. In response, the European Commission identified the circular economy as a means of achieving green growth and prioritized the construction sector in its Circular Economy Action Plan.

Perceptions of Governance (Il)Legitimacy Mediate Climate Change Adaptation in the Lake Victoria Basin, Uganda

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governance is a well‐known dimension of adaptive capacity across various frameworks, however specific links between perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy and adaptive capacity remain relatively unexplored. In this study, we investigate connections between climate change adaptation and perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy using focus ...
