Durability of an UHPC containing spent equilibrium catalyst

UHPC is an advanced cementitious material able to meet the current construction industry challenges regarding structural safety and durability. However, new UHPC formulations with limited shrinkage are still being pursued to reduce residual tensile stresses in the UHPFRC layers, for rehabilitation/strengthening applications. This investigation estimates the durability of a non-proprietary UHPC incorporating a b...

New global tourism innovation in a post-coronavirus era

World capitalism has become capitalism of abundance, but decadent capitalism. Today's capitalism is potentially destructive of the planet on which we live. This text seeks to highlight some of the irrationalities underlying this destructive potential, taking the relation between tourism and innovation as a paradigmatic example. The conceptual, political and operational articulation of tourism with innovation is...

“Cities go smart!”: A system dynamics-based approach to smart city conceptualiz...

The world’s population has grown rapidly. Thus, new challenges have arisen in terms of people’s quality of life, natural resources renewal, and urban environment sustainability. The smart city concept was developed to deal with these challenges by incorporating new technologies in order to find solutions that preserve cities’ environment while promoting their residents’ wellbeing. However, for cities to be trul...

Characterization of non-proprietary UHPC for use in rehabilitation/strengthenin...

UHPFRC has become one of the most promising cement-based materials for the next generation of infrastructures because of its good workability, outstanding mechanical properties, and excellent durability. A promising field of application is the rehabilitation and/or strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures, in which a new layer of UHPFRC replaces the deteriorated concrete (cracked, carbonated, ch...

A novel semi-solid pill for stress-free voluntary oral drug administration in e...

During compound screening and drug development, long-term oral drug administration to experimental rodents is often required. Oral gavage, a straightforward drug dosing technique, is not suitable for extended treatments considering the recurrent traumatic complications (gastroesophageal injury) and physiological distress (corticosterone levels alterations) that frequently bias experimental design outcomes. Thes...
