Life cycle thinking strategies for constructing nZEB schools by Elisabetta Palumbo, Rosa Romano, Paola Gallo

“…Vertical envelopes are among the technological units that contribute the most to achieving better energy-environmental performance of the building, but at the same time, they have a certain weight in terms of carbon and embodied energy; moreover, LCA studies dealing with the vertical building envelope mainly focus on ‘cradle-to-grave’ impacts, neglecting end-of-life scenarios based on the recycling of selective demolition materials. …”

Characterization of a Compound Starch-Based Adsorbent for Alcohol—Water Azeotrope Dehydration by Jinsheng Sun, Wenping Wang, Pei Wang, Hao Lv, Xubo Luo, Hong Gao

“…A comparison of the results from the IGC and batch adsorption experiments of the three azeotrope systems suggested that the separation factors increased with decreasing alcohol polarities and increasing numbers of alcohol carbon atoms, which may be related to the transport properties and strength of the interactions between the alcohol and free OH groups on the glucose units in the CSA. …”

Analogous Atomic and Electronic Properties between VN and VNCB Defects in Hexagonal Boron Nitride by Chang-Youn Moon, Kee-Suk Hong, Yong-Sung Kim

“…Using first-principles calculations, we find that nitrogen-vacancy defect VN has a lower energy structure in C1h symmetry in 1− charge state than the previously known D3h symmetry structure. Noting that carbon has one more valence electron than boron species, our finding naturally points to the correspondence between VN and VNCB defects with one charge state difference between them, which is indeed confirmed by the similarity of atomic symmetries, density of states, and excitation energies. …”
