Nonlinear dynamics of origami metamaterials: energetic discrete approach accounting for bending and in-plane deformation of facets
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
In this paper, we start the analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of structural elements having an origami-type microstructure and micro-kinematics, also known as origami metamaterials. We use a finite-dimensional Lagrangian ...
A beam model for duoskelion structures derived by asymptotic homogenization and its application to axial loading problems
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Acceso restringido
Duoskelion structures have been recently introduced by Barchiesi et al. (2021) as a proof-of-concept motif for a new class of metamaterials. The properties of these periodic beam-like chiral structural elements have been ...
Narrative modelling: A comparison of high and low mass dwelling solutions in Afghanistan and Peru
(SAGE Publications Ltd., 2023)
Acceso restringido
Displaced populations are housed in various constructions, including lightweight predesigned structures. Theoretically, self-built heavyweight structures should ensure better temperatures and be closer to cultural norms. ...
Source identification and global implications of black carbon
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Black carbon (BC) is one of the short-lived air pollutants that contributes significantly to aerosol radiative forcing and global climate change. It is emitted by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and ...
Possibilities of using silicate rock powder: An overview
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
This study evaluates the on use of crushed rocks (remineralizers) to increase soil fertility levels and which contributed to increase agricultural productivity, recovery of degraded areas, decontamination of water, and ...
Estimation of the impact of biomass burning based on regional transport of PM2.5 in the Colombian Caribbean
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Deterioration of air quality due to the increase in atmospheric emissions from biomass burning (BB) is one of the major environmental problems worldwide. In this study, we estimated the contributions of BB to PM2.5 ...
Artisanal ceramic factories using wood combustion: A nanoparticles and human health study
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
The ceramics industry, resulting from developments of modern compounds, is a segment of great influence in worldwide sustainability. Artisanal ceramic factories based on wood combustion have significant risks for the ...
Spatiotemporal assessment of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and ozone in a Caribbean urban coastal city
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Air pollution has become a critical issue in urban areas, so a broad understanding of its spatiotemporal characteristics is important to develop public policies. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal variation of atmospheric ...
High Stress Levels and Trust toward the Government Are Associated with More Positive Attitudes toward COVID-19 Vaccines among French Students: A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Mistrust in COVID-19 vaccines may hinder vaccination campaigns. We looked at cognitive determinants of vaccination intentions against COVID-19. We were interested in (i) the effects of stress and (ii) the effects of ...
Association of Serum Pyridoxal Phosphate Levels with Established Status Epilepticus
(Springer, 2022)
Acceso restringido
Background
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of pyridoxine deficiency, measured by pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) levels, in patients admitted to the hospital with established (benzodiazepine-resistant) ...
