WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER? Stockholm – Vienna’s large courtyard blocks

Chiara Monterumisi, Alessandro Porotto

The purpose of this paper is to look back on some valuable accomplishments at the beginning of the 20th century, built in Stockholm (1916-1930) and Vienna (1919-1933). Far from a mere process of revising history, those first dwelling attempts demonstrate h ...

Functional and Adaptive Construction for Rescue

Hadi Ardiny

Although recent advances in the field of robotics have greatly increased robotic capabilities for several applications, autonomous robots are still in their infancy regarding their support of onsite construction. Unlike production robots that are used, for ...

Spectral sequences associated to deformations

Lapin has constructed a multiplicative spectral sequence from a deformation of an -algebra. In particular, as noted by the same author, one can apply this construction to a deformation induced by a filtration of an -algebra. A question that naturally appea ...

Preventing overheating in offices through thermal inertial properties of compressed earth bricks: A study on a real scale prototype

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Arianna Brambilla

Buildings are increasingly required to be efficient not just in their operation, but from construction to demolition. Thus, interest in natural construction materials with low embodied environmental impacts has increased, (re)inventing materials and compon ...

Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept

Yiming Li, Hua Zhang, Gennady Plyushchev, Shuai Liu, Frank Zimmermann

This paper describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield acceleration and the motivation for using proton drivers. We then describe the ...

FRP sandwich structures in bridge and building construction

Thomas Keller

Selected applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich structural elements in building and bridge construction are discussed. It is shown how in building construction this technology enables the integration of functions such as load-bearing capac ...

The symmetry of partner modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari

Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...
