Characterization of De Novo Di-Iron Metalloproteins
Stephanie Hawkins
Jan 01, 0001
The unique structure-function relationship of proteins has made de novo metalloprotein models a valuable tool in obtaining a deeper understanding of these essential biological molecules. To study the impact of active site...

Developing a Perspective on Schools as Complex, Evolving, Loosely Linking Systems
The rationale for this article is to give complexity the central place it warrants in school leadership, management and organisational practice and research. We analyse the relevant literature, particularly that relating to...
Reducing the carbon emissions of building construction using thin-shell concrete floors
Will Hawkins
Jun 01, 2022
Steel and concrete are consumed in vast quantities as the global population continues to grow, develop and urbanise. Both these materials are carbon-intensive to produce, and construction therefore represents one of the hardest...

Framing the policy debate over spirits excise tax in Poland

Industry lobbying remains an obstacle to effective health-oriented alcohol policy. In 2013, an increase in excise tax on spirits was announced by the Polish government. This article presents a qualitative analysis of the...

An analytical failure envelope for the design of textile reinforced concrete shells
Shells have the potential to considerably reduce material consumption in buildings due to their high structural efficiency compared to equivalent structures acting in bending. Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a promising...

Holistic regenerative design
Synopsis
In the August 2023 issue of The Structural Engineer, Oliver Broadbent and James Norman presented the principles of regenerative design, and Will Arnold and Phil Isaac discussed how structural engineers can achieve...

Influence of Turn-Taking in Musical and Spoken Activities on Empathy and Self-Esteem of Socially Vulnerable Young Teenagers.
This study describes a preliminary test of the hypothesis that, when people engage in musical and linguistic activities designed to enhance the interactive, turn-taking properties of typical conversation, they benefit in ways...

A design methodology to reduce the embodied carbon of concrete buildings using thin-shell floors

This paper explores the potential of thin concrete shells as low-carbon alternatives to floor slabs and beams, which typically make up the majority of structural material in multi-storey buildings. A simple and practical...

Optimising the embodied carbon of laterally loaded piles using a genetic algorithm and finite element simulation
With the need to cut embodied carbon from the construction industry, there has been a growing interest in optimising the design of different structural elements. This paper, for the first time, minimises the embodied carbon of...
Embodied carbon optimisation of concrete pile foundations and comparison of the performance of different pile geometries
Concrete production and construction are responsible for a considerable share of the total carbon emissions annually. With the emerging need to cut carbon emissions from the construction sector, there has been a big interest in...

Framing tobacco control
Studies have shown that the tobacco industry exerts significant policy-framing efforts to undermine tobacco control (TC) policies. However, most of this evidence is from high-income settings. This study applies framing analysis...

Design, construction and testing of a low carbon thin-shell concrete flooring system
Rapid global urbanisation and population growth is driving unprecedented levels of building construction, with the total worldwide floor area expected to almost double over the next 40 years. Since most of the structural...
On the embodied carbon of structural timber versus steel, and the influence of LCA methodology

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment is key to mitigating climate change. This paper uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to explore whether glue-laminated timber (glulam) has a significantly lower...
