    Abstract: The building and construction sectors are responsible for 39% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but they are among the largest consumers of energy. If all indicators show that demand would be exponential in the future. Decarbonization and reduction of energy consumption in buildings are urgent for environmental preservation and resilience to extr... Show More

    Abstract: Ductile iron represents a family of alloys with a wide range of properties achievable through controlled manipulation of the matrix microstructure. Furthermore, its lower cost compared to steel and superior properties to gray iron make ductile iron a favorable choice in many engineering applications. The higher carbon and silicon content in ductile... Show More

    Abstract: Wet chemical process was successfully used to synthesize tin doped and undoped cadmium oxide nanoparticles. Cadmium acetate, sodium hydroxide, mercaptopropionic acid and tin chloride were used as starting materials for synthesizing the nanoparticles. The reaction was carried out in a single three-necked flask under reflux at 80°C for 2 hours and th... Show More
