Abstract Ghana 39;s building regulations mdash; most recently codified in GS 1207:2018 mdash; were calibrated against a set of environmental assumptions that coastal urbanization and climate change ...

Concrete slabs-on-ground develop curl when a moisture or temperature gradient exists between the top and bottom surfaces of the slab. As the exposed top surface dries and shrinks relative to the ...

Heritage, in interiors, is increasingly rarer to be only a matter of preservation alone. More often it arrives as friction: the encounter between what a building already is—its plan logic, its scars, ...

Microbiome mediation analysis provides a principled framework for understanding how environmental, behavioral, or clinical exposures influence human health through microbiomemediated biological ...

How is it possible to reduce the energy consumption of our homes? What design, material, and/or technological strategies can be developed to achieve interior comfort while also addressing the climate ...

Choosing a statistical model and accounting for uncertainty about this choice are important parts of the scientific process and are required for common statistical tasks such as parameter estimation, ...

There are continuous variations of moments across slab panels therefore to help placement of steel, design moments are averaged over column strips and middle strips. The column strips are located over ...

There are several methods by which two-way slabs can be designed. All methods are viable provided that the safety and serviceability of the elements are within the acceptable limits. The coefficient ...

Mean-field electronic structure methods like Hartree–Fock, semilocal density functional approximations, or semiempirical molecular orbital (MO) theories do not account for long-range electron ...
