The large intrinsic band gap in TiO2 has hindered severely its potential application for visible-light irradiation. In this study, we have used a passivated approach to modify the band edges of anatase-TiO2 by codoping of ...
There is an increasing trend in reducing energy demand of buildings by improving building envelope thermal
characteristics. Proven construction examples as used with the German PassivHaus standard achieve
substantial ...
Saliva offers developmental researchers and pediatric clinicians significant opportunities to measure numerous biological markers. However, many preschool-aged children refuse to participate in saliva collection. Identifying ...
This paper investigates the just-noticeable-difference (JND) for natural frequency of virtual second order dynamic systems. Using
a one degree-of-freedom haptic device, visual and/or haptic sensory feedback were presented ...
This paper presents a building environmental assessment methodology developed for application in new commercial buildings in Ireland. In an attempt to address issues of specific national interest the development of the ...
To propose an initial formulation for the passive control section of the Turkish Earthquake Code, the impact of base isolation and viscoelastic dampers on a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame building was considered ...
There is a trend towards reducing heating and cooling requirements of buildings by using high levels of
insulation, minimizing thermal bridging, and ensuring excellent air tightness, together with the operation of ...
Inadequate recovery from short-term, high-intensity bouts of exercise can be a limiting factor to optimal sporting performance [1]. Previous research investigating recovery from intense exercise using various intervention ...
Wind power generation is the fastest growing renewable technology worldwide with large on- and off-shore wind farms being connected to the transmission networks. A significant share of it, however is still being deployed ...
This paper assesses the role of design and operational
parameters in a night ventilated library
building that has been designed for a maritime
type climate. The design rationale behind the
building is elaborated and ...
