Lignin‐Retaining Transparent Wood
Optically transparent wood, combining optical and mechanical performance, is an emerging new material for light-transmitting structures in buildings with the aim of reducing energy consumption. One of the main obstacles for transparent wood fabrication is delignification, where around 30 wt % of wood tissue is removed to reduce light absorption and refractive index mismatch. This step is time c...
متن کاملAccelerating SDN/NFV with Transparent Offloading Architecture
1 Challenge Software Defined Networking (SDN) is attracting much attention in the information and communications technology (ICT) industries. In particular, the telecom industry calls for Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV). NFV aims to reduce operator CAPEX and OPEX through reduced equipment costs and reduced power consumption. Equipment costs are not reduced by proprietary hardware applian...
متن کاملSeismic Response of Building Structures with Sliding Non-structural Elements
Interaction between a structure under base excitation and heavy non-structural elements that it supports is significant in the seismic analysis and design of the structure. Heavy non-structural elements may slide/rock under base excitation, and this dynamic action affects the seismic behavior of the supporting structure. Hence, in this study, a numerical model was presented to describe the seis...
متن کاملProperties of Wood and Structural Wood Products
Wood differs from other construction materials because it is produced in a living tree. As a result, wood possesses material properties that may be significantly different from other materials normally encountered in structural design. Although it is not necessary to have an in-depth knowl edge of wood anatomy and properties, it is necessary for the engineer to have a general understanding of ...
متن کاملBeam redirection and frequency filtering with transparent elastomeric diffractive elements.
A new, to our knowledge, type of optical device capable of beam redirection and frequency filtering is described. It is based on a transparent elastomeric binary diffraction grating. When light is passed through the device the intensities of the diffraction orders can be modulated by compression of the elastomer in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the grating. Selective filtering of ...
