The Alhambra Monumental Ensemble (Granada, Spain) is a unique well-preserved palatine city from the medieval Islamic period, and it constitutes best example of Nasrid architecture. In this work, we focus on study one its most unknown decorations: Wall paintings with appearance red bricks. These faux-brick decorations are found in many different locations within complex, including both exterior ...

A simple, rapid quantitative approach to determining attachment density on silica nanoparticles has been demonstrated using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and verified by thermogravimetric analysis. A very high attachment of approximately 5 attachments per nm2 has been achieved through photoinduced thiol-ene click reaction of 11-bromo-1-undecene with a thio...

A large proportion of the requirements on embedded real-time systems stems from the extra-functional dimensions of time and space determinism, dependability, safety and security, and it is addressed at the software level. The adoption of a sound software architecture provides crucial aid in conveniently apportioning the relevant development concerns. This paper takes a software-centred interpre...
