Silva, Ana (author), de Brito, Jorge (author), Thomsen, A.F. (author), Straub, A. (author), Prieto, Andrés J. (author), Lacasse, Michael A. (author)In the last decades, considerable work has been done regarding service life prediction of buildings and building components. Academics and members of the CIB W080 commission, as well as of ISO TC 59/SC14, have made several efforts in this area and created a general terminology for the concept of service life, which is extremely relevant for...review 2022

Muntz, I.A.A. (author), Fenu, M. (author), van Osch, G.J.V.M. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author)Living tissue is able to withstand large stresses in everyday life, yet it also actively adapts to dynamic loads. This remarkable mechanical behaviour emerges from the interplay between living cells and their non-living extracellular environment. Here we review recent insights into the biophysical mechanisms involved in the reciprocal...review 2022

Turnbull, Thomas (author), Renner, Maik (author), Panwar, Annu (author), Katsikis, N. (author), Kleidon, Axel (author), Schindler, Alexander (author)The Mississippi River Basin is a vast near-planar surface, an area upon which sunlight falls and wind flows. Its gently banked geomorphology channels precipitation, sediment, biota, and human activity into a dynamic locus of regional Earth system interactions. This paper describes the major features of this region’s energy exchanges from a...review 2021

Breitschaft, Stefan Josef (author), Heijboer, Stefan (author), Shor, Daniel (author), Tempelman, E. (author), Vink, P. (author), Carbon, Claus Christian (author)After decades of research and development, haptic feedback is increasingly appearing in consumer products. While the prevalence of haptic feedback is increasing, the integration rarely offers increased fidelity to previous generations. We argue this is because of the tremendous complexity of successful haptic design engineering, but...review 2022

Wang, Shilei (author), Liu, Guixian (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Feng, Qiankuan (author), Liu, Hengbai (author), Guo, Y. (author)In the past 20 years, many studies have been performed on ballast layer inspection and condition evaluation with ground penetrating radar (GPR). GPR is a non-destructive means that can reflect the ballast layer condition (fouling, moisture) by analysing the received signal variation. Even though GPR detection/inspection for ballast layers has...review 2022

Turan, E. (author), Speretta, S. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author)In recent years, there is a growing interest in small satellites for deep space exploration. The current approach for planetary navigation is based on ground-based radiometric tracking. A new era of low-cost small satellites for space exploration will require autonomous deep space navigation. This will decrease the reliance on ground-based...review 2022
