Concrete floor slab flatness and levelness are parameters often specified in construction documents that contractors must meet to ensure a high quality of construction. However, the measurement of these parameters is cumbersome and time-consuming.
Biocompatible nanoparticles have been developed that can trap and retain therapeutic radionuclides and their byproducts at the cancer site. This is important to maximize the therapeutic effect of this treatment and minimize associated side effects.
Making existing buildings more airtight is critical in reducing the nation's energy consumption and carbon output. Most current methods of locating building leakage sites are disruptive to occupants and none of the methods can measure the flow of individual leakage sites.
Building Science Advisor is a web-based tool that allows users to quickly and reliably evaluate the moisture durability of their building wall designs and select the most energy-efficient and moisture-safe design.
Technologies for optimizing prefab retrofit panel installation using a real-time evaluator is described.
This solid-state thermal switch can significantly increase the functions of the thermal mass in buildings by actively controlling the thermal resistivity of insulation layers to optimize the energy storage and utilization to shed, shift, and shape HVAC loads on demand.
The interface gasket for building envelope is designed to enhance the installation of windows and other objects into building openings.
Adhesive and sealant materials are crucial in construction, automotive, and electronics industries. However, most adhesives fail under stress or environmental conditions like dust, water, or wear.
Application of thermally anisotropic composite materials coupled with a heat sink/source can redirect and reduce heat flows through a building envelope (walls and roofs).
An ORNL team has developed a method for screening for an immunoregulatory protein, which includes assessing the sequence of a candidate protein to determine if it is an immunoregulatory protein when at least one plasminogen-apple-nematode (PAN) domain with a consensus sequence
