Potential use of ceramic sanitary ware waste as pozzolanic material
Elsevier (2021)This paper evaluated the pozzolanic activity of ceramic sanitary ware (CSW) waste when blended with Portland cement (PC). CSW waste units were broken, crushed and milled to reduce their particle size. These particles were ... -
Power factor improvement in a solid–liquid thermoelectric system formed by Sb:SnO2 in contact with a chromium complex solution
Royal Society of Chemistry (2023)Thermoelectric (TE) materials can convert heat into electricity. Good TE materials should have high power factors (PF) and low thermal conductivities. PF = S2σ is governed by the Seebeck coefficient S and the electrical ... -
Pozzolanic activity of tiles, bricks and ceramic sanitary-ware in ecofriendly Portland blended cements
Elsevier (2020-08-26)Reusing ceramic waste as a pozzolanic admixture may offer environmental benefits as it allows the reduction in the consumption of natural resources and energy, and the reduction of CO2 emissions associated with Portland ... -
Predicting Wrist Joint Angles from the Kinematics of the Arm: Application to the Control of Upper Limb Prostheses
MDPI (2023-06)Automation of wrist rotations in upper limb prostheses allows simplification of the human–machine interface, reducing the user’s mental load and avoiding compensatory movements. This study explored the possibility of ... -
Prediction of Contact Angle of Nanofluids by Single-Phase Approaches
MDPI (2019)Wettability is the ability of the liquid to contact with the solid surface at the surrounding fluid and its degree is defined by contact angle (CA), which is calculated with balance between adhesive and cohesive forces ... -
Predictions of European refrigerants place on the market following F-gas regulation restrictions
Elsevier (2021-03-10)The European Union (EU) Regulation on fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) has encouraged to reduce gradually the number of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) that can be placed on the market (POM) to 21% of the baseline level in ... -
Predictive and Multi-rate Sensor-Based Planning under Uncertainty
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (2014-12-08)Email Print Request Permissions In this paper, a general formulation of a predictive and multirate (MR) reactive planning method for intelligent vehicles (IVs) is introduced. The method handles path planning and trajectory ... -
Preliminary Study of the Fresh and Hard Properties of UHPC That Is Used to Produce 3D Printed Mortar
MDPI (2022-04-04)Three-dimensional printed concrete (3DPC) is a relatively recent technology that may be very important in changing the traditional construction industry. The principal advantages of its use are more rapid construction, ... -
Preliminary study on the fresh and mechanical properties of UHPC made with recycled UHPC aggregates
Taylor & Francis (2021-11-09)The recycling of construction and demolition waste material reduces disposal of material and also the consumption of resources, therefore promoting sustainability in construction. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is ... -
Premolars restored with posts of different materials: fatigue analysis
The Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devices (2011-11-30)Previous works studied the effect of the material and the dimensions of the post on the biomechanical performance (fracture strength and stress distribution) of restored teeth, under static loads. The aim of this work was ... -
Principles of Affective Design in Consumers’ Response to Sustainability Design Strategies
MDPI (2020)The aim of this paper is to explore the generation of consumers’ responses to sustainabilitydesign strategies by considering the principles of affective design. A conceptual model of consumers’response, in which a distinction ... -
Prioritising organisational circular economy strategies by applying the partial order set theory: Tool and case study
Elsevier (2023)This study presents a methodology to solve circular economy multiple indicators system decision-making problems by applying the Partial Order Set Theory (POSET). To this end, a user-friendly tool was developed to allow the ... -
