What if we were children: Education Diaries of drystone-adapted activities for three- to sixteen-year-old children

Three diaries record drystone activities devised for children from three to sixteen, in Cyprus and in Sardinia. The first follows nursery children collaging a terraced olive grove and handling stones in their own yard. The second is a school project in which teenagers built and p...

Ag Reinforcement in Pd–Ag/MnO2 Nanoensembles Boosts the Electrocatalytic Performance in Low-Temperature Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells: Studies on Ethanol Oxidation and Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Abstract The present investigation involves the validation of Pd–Ag catalyst nanoparticles (NPs) supported on MnO2 nanostructures at both ends of a direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) operating in an alkaline environment at low temperatures. The studies are based on evaluating electr...

Laboratory investigation of a deformed 1834 William IV sixpence

Abstract Severe deformation in historic metal artefacts is not always resolvable by visual inspection alone. This study investigates a deformed 1834 William IV sixpence using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and optical surface profilometry....

Performance of mechanochemically activated supplementary cementitious materials in cement pastes and mortars

Abstract Mechanochemical activation (MCA) is a rapidly emerging technology for producing supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). However, performance data on MCA SCMs is lacking. Here, we investigated the potential use of four low-grade materials as sources of alternative SC...
