The use of continuum models for analyzing adobe structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
As it is known, the adobe structures have a high seismic vulnerability principally due to the low material strength and sometimes due to the inadequate structural configuration.

Deriving Quests from Open World Mechanics

open access: yes, 2017
Open world games present players with more freedom than games with linear progression structures. However, without clearly-defined objectives, they often leave players without a sense of purpose.

Biosynthesis of Sciadonic Acid Derived from Gymnosperms with Anti‐Colitis Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes an efficient Yarrowia lipolytica platform for unusual sciadonic acid (SCA) production and assess the anti‐colitis efficacy in mice of SCA, supporting its potential as a novel therapeutic lipid. ABSTRACT Sciadonic acid (SCA), Δ5‐unsaturated fatty acid with anti‐inflammatory and lipid‐regulatory properties, is predominantly derived

Thin‐Film Thermal Sensors on Chitosan Substrates for Sustainable Transient Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Fully transient thin‐film temperature sensors are realized on pure chitosan substrates using Mo‐based RTDs and a‐IGZO/Mo thermistors. The devices exhibit high sensitivity, mechanical flexibility, humidity‐aware operation, and complete dissolution in natural solvents.

Non-destructive evaluation methods that can be used for the determination of some properties of historical wooden structures

open access: yesTurkish Journal of Forestry, 2016
Wood as a natural, sustainable and renewable resource has been used for structural and engineering purposes in human life for thousands of years and still maintains its importance. Human beings have been used the wood and wooden products for both shelter

Fire Design of Wooden Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
The paper describes and discusses the state of the art concerning the possibilities of an analytical prediction of the real fire behaviour of wooden structures and structural members. The principles of a probability based design are outlined with reference to a physical model according to Fig. 2, connected to a natxral compartment fire exposure.

Proactive Robotic Grasp Stability via Tactile Safety Margin Feedback

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We introduce the tactile safety margin (TSM), defined as the ratio between applied friction force (Ffric) and maximum friction (Fmax) derived from grip force. A bilayer E‐skin with decoupled temperature, strain, and pressure sensing enables real‐time grasp stability monitoring through measured TSM values, allowing robots to proactively adjust grip ...
