Stražinska, K. (author)Despite nearly three decades having passed since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Soviet-era housing remains a significant component of major cities’ housing stocks. Often perceived as outdated and socially stigmatized, these housing estates surpass their intended lifespan, leading to difficulties in maintenance and renovation. In this study,...student report 2024

Chakraborty, S.S. (author), Krishna, Shankara Narayanan (author), Mathur, Umang (author), Pavlogiannis, Andreas (author)Weak-memory models are standard formal specifications of concurrency across hardware, programming languages, and distributed systems. A fundamental computational problem is consistency testing: is the observed execution of a concurrent program in alignment with the specification of the underlying system? The problem has been studied...journal article 2024

Liu, Q. (author), Ghodrat, S. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author)Conventional hinge actuators often face limitations including excessive weight, large size and unpleasant noise. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a solution to address these issues due to their favorable characteristics, such as lightweight, high actuation force and small form factor. However, most existing SMA-based hinge actuators rely on...journal article 2024

(author)Macrophages are key regulators in bone repair and regeneration. Recent studies have shown that long-term epigenetic changes and metabolic shifts occur during specific immune training of macrophages that affect their functional state, resulting in heightened (trained) or reduced (tolerant) responses upon exposure to a second stimulus. This is...journal article 2024

Shi, Xuyang (author), Chen, Shuzhao (author), Wang, Qiang (author), Lu, Yijun (author), Ren, S. (author), Huang, Jiandong (author)As an environmentally responsible alternative to conventional concrete, geopolymer concrete recycles previously used resources to prepare the cementitious component of the product. The challenging issue with employing geopolymer concrete in the building business is the absence of a standard mix design. According to the chemical composition of...journal article 2024

Liu, Q. (author), Ghodrat, Dr. Sepideh (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author)We developed a shape-changing constructive kit, named Mimosa1. A key component of the toolkit is the modular hinges, each of which is equipped with two antagonistic shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. One wire deforms the hinge to approach its predetermined angle at high temperature, and another wire drives the hinge back when it cools down....conference paper 2024
