Every well intentioned innovation is eventually completely assimilated within the dominant imperative. For example, in VR glasses it has been devised to follow the eye movements, so that the image quality in the centre of your image field (the fovea centralis) is rendered high and low in the periphery. …

Bulk molding compound (BMC) thermoset (bio) composites are difficult to recycle because they cannot be melted for reprocessing. However, this group of materials is often used in high-end applications where strength and lightweight materials are required, such as boat hulls, aircraft parts, car parts, …

As an essential nutrient for food production, phosphate is largely used in fertilizers to enhance crop growth (Baishya et al., 2016; Hasanuzzaman et al., 2018). Regardless of its enormous demand, the only concentrated P source is phosphate rock and the resource is finite (Cordell & White, 2011; Smit …

Humanity has created a world where many people can live in relative wealth at the same time (7.2% of all people who have ever lived are alive right now!) It 's fantastic that mass communication has made global inequality painfully visible, resulting in increasingly one humanity. But at the same time, …

For centuries, natural gas has been one of humanity’s main energy sources. The gas sector is still heavily reliant on natural gas production; however, as natural gas fields contain only a finite quantity of gas, its continued extraction is leading to the resource’s depletion. Furthermore, natural gas …

During the 2015 Gorkha earthquake of 7.8 Mw that hit Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, numerous Nepalese Pagodas suffered extensive damage while others collapsed. Risk reduction strategies implemented in the region focused on disassembling historical structures and rebuilding them with modern material without …

The prediction of mechanical elastic response of laminated hybrid polymer composites with basic carbon nanostructure, that is carbon nanotubes and graphene, inclusions has gained importance in many advanced industries like aerospace and automotive. For this purpose, in the current work, a hierarchical, …

Purpose: The present study deals with the numerical modeling of the low-velocity impact damage of laminated composites which have increasingly important applications in aerospace primary structures. Such damage, generated by various sources during ground handling, substantially reduces the mechanical …

Among other things, learning to write entails learning how to use complex sentences effectively in discourse. Some research has therefore focused on relating measures of syntactic complexity to text quality. Apart from the fact that the existing research on this topic appears inconclusive, most of it …
