The acute housing crisis, coupled with the requirements and demands arising from the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, necessitates a new vision in the design and construction of residential buildings. Recently, the materials used have been characterized by high energy consumption and polluting technologies, whose effects are increasingly noticeable. According to the authors, reducing...
New Urbanism is an urban planning concept developed in response to the problems caused by rapid urbanization and uncontrolled suburban expansion. It is characterized by an integrated and sustainable approach that addresses current challenges related to climate change, population growth, and limited resources. One of the main trends in contemporary urbanism is sustainable development, which...
In the automotive industry the communications between existing subsystems is essential for providing the intended functionalities. The logic that enables proper informational interconnection is provided by industry related protocols, one well known and often used being the CAN protocol. This fact enables the spending of relevant design and testing resources for enhancing the performance and...
This paper is based on a case study conducted at the ancient Kastri-Pandosia site in Greece. The purpose of the study was to use aerial thermal imaging in order to detect differences in composition, density and moisture content, materials on and below the ground surface based on different rates of absorbtion, emition, transmition and reflection thermal infrared radiation. The most impressive...
Many industries such as the healthcare industry, industrial safety and environmental monitoring require gas detection equipment. The precise and quick detection of various gases, including methane (CH4) is a very important factor in recognizing possible hazards, ensuring workplace safety and managing emissions. [1] Chemiresistive sensors based on conductive polymers such as polyaniline have...
Math is the key in understanding physics, and its findings directly apply to all of the possible branches, including electrical engineering. Let's get introduced together to the Laplacian matrix, the resistance distance and to Foster's resistance theorems!
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of groundwater, which constitutes 30% of surface water, as a vital source of water that can be utilized for various purposes. During the investigation, I explored whether the pH values of groundwater sources comply with the standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Additionally, I...
The future of civil engineering in the opinion of the authors will be determined by the structural design, by the materials used but also by the scientific concerns of the manufacturing industry materials . In the view of the authors, the structural concept has in mind the realization of some constructions that meet the main requirements stipulated by the legislation in force, requirements...
The constructions related to the oil industry offer a wide range of case studies for civil engineering due to the fact that they entail different types of structures adapted to various products resulting from both the exploitation process and the refining process.
As known, constructions can house products with considerable density, as well as volatile substances, each presenting specific...
Using the GIZMO code package for cosmological N-body/Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) problems, we worked on growth and evolution simulations for various black hole populations, by initializing several origin scenarios. This analysis aims to use the results of the simulations to compare them with the present black hole mass distribution. In doing this, predictions of the initial...
Abstract
In contemporary rehabilitation practices, advanced devices furnish therapists with vital insights to monitor patient progress during therapy sessions. This paper aims to design and construct a device for lower limb movement rehabilitation. The system utilizes an accelerometer module and force sensors to capture real-time foot movements. Data is processed via the Arduino IDE platform...
Abstract Problematica acestei lucrări se referă la conceptul promovării valorilor istorice arhitecturale în contemporanitatea texturii urbane din Dobrogea prin aplicarea în conceptul clădirilor moderne a unor elemente valoroase care au constituit, la un moment dat, caracteristica arhitecturală a zonei Dobrogei. Replicarea/inspirarea din frumoasele și elegantele forme reprezintă o conservare...
In the last period, the European Union, according to the treaty regarding its functioning, wanted to contribute to the development of the culture of the member states while respecting the diversity of each of them, both at the national and regional level, highlighting the cultural heritage. Thus, the responsibility of developing policies in the field of culture belongs to the member states....
Abstract. As known, the principles of restoration and conservation have evolved from the past when restorers treated historical monuments as works of imagination, thereby creating new works during the restoration process, showing to the present observer a falsehood, a graft, and misleading the future researchers of the historical monument. Today, the restoration of historical monuments...
In this article, the authors studied the way of transferring old queuing structures, many of which are historical monuments, in a vision of new concepts based on the maximum application of the 3D concept in calculation and the composition of constructions that respond the current requirements aimed at mechanical resistance and, but also in the concept imposed by the real conditions of climate...
