A novel semi-transparent building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) laminate was developed and introduced in this paper. It produced by cutting standard mono-crystalline silicon solar cells into small strips then making electrical connections between each strip before laminating the two layers of glass. The overall energy performance saving potential BIPV insulated glass unit (IGU) under real worl...

There has been considerable research in recent years on the additive manufacturing (AM) of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts based process fused deposition modeling (FDM). The currently-applied steps within pipeline, such as slicing and path planning, consider only planar case filament mostly make no use possibility to place single pre-impregnated (prepreg) filaments. Classical metho...

Plasmonic nanostructured metals have many advantages for applications in high-performance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. In particular, unique designing nanostructures with bicontinuous ligaments surrounded by cylindrical voids tunable dense pores from a few to hundreds of nanometers can be utilized the SERS-active substrate. Here, fabrication strategy is reported prepar...

          USD7 is one of the steel products of Isfahan Steel Company. It is cast in continuous casting moulds and rolled up to a rod of 5 mm diameter. Finally, it is wire drawn up to 3 mm and used as welding electrodes. This steel contains 0.05 to 0.09 wt. % carbon. The acceptable limit of the aluminium in this class of steel is less than 0.003 wt%. Therefore, it is categorized as rimmed steel...

Abstract This work explores opposed-flow flame spread over carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) with an emphasis on the in-plane thermal isotropy and anisotropy depending (CF) orientation. CFRP sheets different CF orientations were fabricated by laminating unidirectional prepregs in directions combusted via a chimney where flow velocity oxygen concentration variable. The limiting (LOC) unde...

This article aims to develop a method for regenerating and reusing carbon glass fibers extracted from unrecyclable scraps of plastics, printer parts, laminating coating. A comparison known methods fiber regeneration revealed the advantages thermal treatment: absence costs reagents complex equipment; better preservation composition; strength fibers. Based on results thermographic analysis wastes...

BACKGROUND This project occurred during the course of the Translating Research in Elder Care (TREC) program of research. TREC is a multilevel and longitudinal research program being conducted in the three Canadian Prairie Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The main purpose of TREC is to increase understanding about the role of organizational context in influencing knowledge use i...
