A Spatial Typology of University Campus Areas in Cold-Climate Cities: Evidence from Three Cities in Northeast China

Campus–city relationships are important for optimising campus areas in cold-climate cities. Existing classifications are largely based on location, openness, or spatial layout, but rarely distinguish combinations of campus–city spatial relationships. From a campus-area perspectiv...

Pathways Linking Perceived Environmental Attributes of Community Public Spaces and Older Adults’ Mental Well-Being: A Parallel Mediation Analysis of Physical Activity and Social Participation

Against the backdrop of population aging, community public spaces are important neighborhood settings for older adults’ daily activities, social ties, and mental well-being. However, few studies have integrated multidimensional perceived environmental attributes, parallel physica...

Construction and Functional Engineering of Bio-Integrated Micro/Nanorobots for Theranostic Applications

Bio-integrated micro/nanorobots combine intrinsic biological properties with engineered capabilities, offering promising platforms for biomedical intervention. These systems can exploit biological motility, recognition and therapeutic activity while incorporating controlled navig...

Cyclic performance of a two-story reinforced-concrete frame strengthened with inverted-V buckling-restrained braces and T-shaped anchorage

This study investigated the seismic performance of a 1/3-scale, two-story, three-span reinforced-concrete frame strengthened with inverted-V buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) and a T-shaped anchorage system. In the tested configuration, two BRBs were installed at each story, with...

LeakAgent: a multi-agent system for leak detection using multi-modal large language model coordination in water distribution network

Water distribution networks (WDNs) suffer from severe leakage, yet pinpointing the leaks remains difficult. Data-driven detection is typically split into disconnected stages of hydraulic modelling, partitioning, sensor planning and analysis, and it treats the questions of whether...

UAV RGB-NIR Tracking via Quality-Gated Dynamic Template Update in OSTrack

Existing single-modality object-tracking methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) suffer from template mismatch under illumination variation, target occlusion, and fast motion, leading to tracking failure. We therefore propose an algorithm based on the one-stream Transformer t...

Rigid Polymers Enhance the Mechanical Resilience of High-Flux Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) Antifouling Membranes

Abstract Hydrophilic modification is widely used to improve the permeability and antifouling properties of PVDF membranes. However, introducing flexible hydrophilic segments significantly reduces the membrane’s resistance to deformation. To address this contradiction, a mature am...

Thermal, mechanical, and energy-saving performance of capric acid-myristic acid/expanded perlite phase-change concrete for building envelopes

Phase-change concrete (PCC) can improve the heat-storage capacity of cement-based materials, but PCM incorporation often compromises mechanical performance. This study prepared PCC using capric acid-myristic acid (CA-MA) impregnated expanded perlite as a shape-stabilized PCM aggr...

Research on the reinforcement effect of frozen wall for tunneling in locally-frozen sandy cobble strata

Purpose The artificial freezing method is one of the most effective techniques for ground improvement and underground construction in water-rich strata. The reinforcement effect of frozen wall during tunneling is perceived as a main concern. Design/methodology/approach In this pa...

Spatiotemporal Evolution Patterns of Urban Green Spaces and Influencing Factors in Shenyang

Urban green spaces are an integral part of urban ecosystems and play a crucial role in improving the urban ecological environment and promoting sustainable urban development. This study aimed to quantify the spatiotemporal evolution of urban green spaces in central Shenyang and t...

A methodological framework for intelligent management and control systems in the AEC industry based on the double diamond model

The Double Diamond model, developed by [The British Design Council. (Citation2005). The Double Diamond-Design Council. Available at: https://www.designcouncil.org.uk/our-resources/the-double-diamond (Accessed: 29 August 2024)], structures system design through two diamond-shaped...

BPA-STGCN: Body-Part-Aware Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network for Stable Skeleton-Based Action Recognition

Skeleton-based action recognition via graph convolutional networks (GCNs) has achieved remarkable progress, yet two persistent bottlenecks limit practical deployment: (1) systematic confusion among fine-grained actions that differ primarily in hand or finger movements, which the...

HEVA Framework-Based MGWR Spatial Diagnosis and Vitality Remodeling of Linear Green Spaces in Cold-Climate Cities

Urban public spaces in cold-climate cities commonly face the challenge of seasonal vitality attenuation. Taking the central urban area of Shenyang as a case study, this paper constructs a HEVA four-dimensional framework based on “spatial diagnosis, mechanism analysis, and design...

Characterization and molecular dynamics of interfacial adhesion in hydrogenated styrene/polyurethane prepolymer composite-modified asphalt

To address the limitations of conventional polymer modified asphalt, a hydrogenated styrene block polyurethane prepolymer (M-PPU) modified asphalt was developed by incorporating a hydrogenated styrene block into a polyurethane prepolymer (PPU). The preparation process was first o...

Design Sensitivity as a Decision Tool for Incremental Urban Village Renewal: Weicun Village, Nanchang, China

Urban village renewal in China increasingly requires decision tools that can identify where incremental design intervention should be prioritized. However, existing renewal practices often rely on experience-based judgment and lack a reproducible quantitative framework for compar...
