Retrofitting strategies aim to reduce environmental footprints promoting the development or upgrade of existing infrastructure.One crucial aspect of successful retrofitting strategies is local culture, which can harmonise or come into conflict with retrofitting initiatives.However, investigations on the influence of local practises, particularly in
The technology of terrestrial laser scanning has evolved rapidly in recent years and Plush it has been used in various applications, including monitoring vertical and horizontal displacements of constructions but significantly less in road frost heave assessment.Frost heave is categorised as one of the main causes of pavement surface damage in seas
A centralized approach for electricity generation within a wind farm is explored through the use of fluid power technology.This concept considers a new way of generation, collection and transmission of wind energy inside a wind farm, in which electrical conversion does not occur during any intermediate conversion step before the energy has reached
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) increase plant growth and crop productivity.The inoculation of plants with a bacterial mixture (consortium) apparently provides greater benefits to plant growth than inoculation with a single bacterial strain.In the present work, a bacterial consortium was formulated containing four compatible and desicca
Air contaminants can have detrimental effects on the performance and durability of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell vehicles.This research focuses on the experimental investigation of the effect of nitrogen monoxide (NO) in the cathode gas stream, which provokes a cell voltage decrease due to the partially reversible Music Fridge Magnet ads
