Lava Worlds Surface Measurements at High Temperatures

First measurements of the emission of lava worlds with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) probe the conditions on worlds so hot that their surfaces are likely molten or partially molten. These observations provide a unique opportunity to explore rocky planets’ evolution. Surfaces of lava world exoplanets can give insights into their composition and their interior workings. However, data of spectral emissivity of a wide range of potential exoplanet surface compositions and temperatures is required to understand JWST data. Here, we chose eight synthetic, potential exoplanet surfaces that span a wide range of chemical compositions to provide observers with a tool for the interpretation of JWST data for the exploration of lava worlds. We present the measured infrared emissivity spectra (2.5–20 μm) of these materials for temperatures between 800° C and 1350° C. Our data comprise the first spectral library of possible high-temperature exoplanet surfaces. From these measurements, we establish the link between composition and a strong spectral feature at around 9 μm, the Christiansen frequency (CF) for different temperatures. Additionally, we report that the shift in the CF associated with the bulk composition of the material is significantly more important than its temperature. This provides a critical tool to aid in interpreting future spectra of lava worlds that will be collected by the JWST and future missions.

Transparent electromagnetic interference shielding materials using MXene

AbstractWith the rapid advancement of terahertz technologies, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are needed to ensure secure electromagnetic environments. Enormous efforts have been devoted to achieving highly efficient EMI shielding films by enhancing flexibility, lightweight, mechanical robustness, and high shielding efficiency. However, the consideration of the optical properties of these shielding materials is still in its infancy. By incorporating transparency, visual information from protected systems can be preserved for monitoring interior working conditions, and the optical imperceptibility allows nonoffensive and easy cover of shielding materials for both device and biology. There are many materials that can be applied to transparent EMI shields. In particular, two‐dimensional transition metal carbide/nitrides (MXenes), possessing the advantages of superior conductivity, optical properties, favorable flexibility, and facile processibility, have become a great candidate. This work reviews the recent research on developing highly efficient and optically transparent EMI shields in a comprehensive way. Materials from MXenes, indium tin oxide, metal, carbon, and conductive polymers are covered, with a focus on the employment of MXene‐based composites in transparent EMI shielding. The prospects and challenges for the future development of MXene‐based transparent EMI shields are discussed. This work aims to promote the development of high‐performance, optically transparent EMI shields for broader applications by leveraging MXenes.

The Impact of Measurable Findings from Pre- and Post-Occupancy Evaluations of Indoor Environmental Quality in the Primary Workspace

This study examined the influence of quantitative and qualitative findings from both a pre-design occupancy evaluation (PDOE) and a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) on the expanded design team’s (designers, client, and researchers) approach to updating the interior work environment. The design team’s implementation of mid-course design solution modifications to the primary workspaces of an engineering group’s environment both after the PDOE and the POE yielded many significant outcomes. The POE was conducted using the same instrument as the PDOE one year after the employees had moved back into their renovated space on a corporate campus. The study’s results were used as a diagnostic tool to improve indoor environmental quality (IEQ) conditions for employees and provided benchmarks for the remaining (85%) campus workplace improvements. The influence and importance of IEQ criteria on employee satisfaction, work performance, and health were demonstrated and contribute to the body of knowledge regarding the influence of the built environment on building occupants. A paired inquiry (PDOE plus POE) helps ensure that human, financial, and environmental resources are appropriated with a higher likelihood of success over POE data alone in terms of meeting current and future employees’ needs and corporate goals.

Eco-friendly construction materials and health benefits in the design of an all-inclusive health resorts, Nigeria

Health resort designs are health sanctuaries and a conducive treatment, healing, and wellness environment. In providing a health and wellness-beneficial environment, the material selection choices by health resort designers should conform to certain minimum specifications and standards. On this premise and SDG-based selection criteria, the study aims to investigate eco-friendly construction materials and their health benefits in an all-inclusive health resort design proposed for Port Harcourt, Nigeria. This study addressed three key objectives—Ascertaining the physical architectural features of health resorts, assessing the eco-friendly building material contribution to SDG attainment, and identifying the health benefits of eco-friendly building materials in the health resort. The researchers engaged the qualitative research method for the study, using a case study technique as a qualitative research design/strategy. The authors used three health resorts across three countries in the global south; China, India, and Brazil. The data collection instruments include; an in-depth interview guide In-depth Interviews (IDI), a direct observation guide, a checklist of green construction materials for health facilities and a qualitative photo-production study based on the essential features of a health resort checklist. The authors use content and narrative analyses to analyze data. Findings show that eco-friendly materials may be best suited for both exterior and interior works of health resort facilities. Wood, stone and concrete are the most preferred materials as they occur across all three case studies. The results align with current global trends towards eco-beneficial facilities. Adopting natural materials such as wood and stone for the Port Harcourt health resort would be expedient, given the health benefits inherent in using such eco-friendly materials and their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD 11 and 13).

IDENTIFYING GUIDELINES LIMITATION OF HISTORIC INTERIOR IN ADAPTIVE RE-USE OF HERITAGE BUILDING IN MALAYSIA

Adaptive re-use in heritage buildings is perceived as a viable alternative in restoring the existing building to accommodate for new or continued building use while addressing its heritage agenda. In the conservation approach of adaptive re-use, new interventions of historic interiors are often subject to insensible alteration particularly in its interior design outcome resulting in compromised heritage representation in Malaysia. The government’s efforts to protect and manage historic buildings are illustrated by the implementation of the National Heritage Act 2005 and the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines 2016. However, there are insufficient guidance concerning new interior design works of a historic interior within Malaysia. The primary aim of this paper is to identify the current limitation of the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines in Malaysia pertaining to historic interior works and to contribute to the discussion surrounding this matter. The paper presents comparative analysis and interpretation of literature and grey documents (guidelines and policies) in adaptive re-use of heritage buildings in Malaysia. The data generated is compared with similar conservation approach guidelines from England and United States of America. The analysis revealed that the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines is a comprehensive document that underscores physical action to preserve the fabric and materials of heritage buildings. However, while the broad definitions for new design proposal to be sympathetic and visual appropriateness to the existing building character are acceptable, it may lead to unintended interpretation and consequences. The paper suggests that the existing guideline need to be accompanied with additional guidance to aid practitioners especially architects and interior designers in dealing with historic interior using the comparative analysis with goals to intensify the value of historic interior that involves new intervention.

Conceptual robot design for the automated layout of building structures by integrating QFD and TRIZ

According to the increase in building size and lack of skilled laborers, layout operation has high demands on automation for productivity and quality improvement. With such a background, research has been recently undertaken to develop an automated layout system based on marking robots for structural work in Korea. Although there are several robot-based automation systems under development targeted at interior works, the system for structural work has different functional needs and technical requirements in designing robots compared with the existing ones. Therefore, this study proposes a conceptual robot design for an automated layout of building structures, based on a systematic design process, by integrating quality function deployment (QFD) and the theory of creative problem solving (TRIZ). With the support of the approach, 11 user requirements and 16 relevant technical characteristics were derived and prioritized, and 15 creative ideas were derived to solve the technical contradictions. The selected design solution improves driving speed by separating driving and marking operations, and the two-wheeled steering drive system with a suspension device allows easier driving control in a narrow and uneven driving environment. The noncontact type of printer head also minimizes the complexity of the device and provides excellent performance in securing marking precision and quality in response to floor conditions. The results of this study will be used for the detailed design of the layout robot system, and the design process can be utilized for designing and evaluating other construction robots and automation systems.

New execution process of a panel-based façade system that reduces project duration and improves workers' working conditions

This study tries to solve some issues in the construction sector related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) numbers 3 (health and well-being) and 8 (decent work and economic growth) of the 2030 Agenda, improving the working conditions of workers in the construction sector, at certain latitudes, since they are constantly exposed to inclement weather conditions and their safety may be adversely affected. Therefore, a design of a new procedure for the installation of a panel-based façade is proposed, which allows the complete closing of the building during its execution and thus improves the comfort and safety of workers. In addition to the constructive definition of the proposed system, its implementation procedure and the energy consumption during the interior air conditioning phase are analyzed. In addition, a comparative study of execution times between the proposed procedure and a conventional solution is performed. The conclusions of the study highlight that the proposed system improves: the working conditions in extreme climates and prevents risks derived from work in extreme weather conditions; the precision in the formation of window and door openings and their coordination with the modular façades; the ease of execution and delays the placement of the exterior scaffolding. Overall, the proposed procedure reduces the weight of the façade and the thermal transmittance by 13.5% and reduces not only costs due to the modulation of the system, but also execution times in the façade and interior work phases (around 40%) and the structure phase (around 32%).

A Framework of an Interior Design Work Delivery Process

Despite their minor position within the architectural industry, interior designers play a significant role in the national economy. In compliance with the Architect Rule, the present Interior Design Institution (MIID) in Malaysia is governed by the LAM. The interior designers are keen to comply effectively with this new legislation in the interior design. The interior design process is somewhat close to the architecture process, which typically consists of three key phases of the entire design. The interior design professionals carry out interior design work in accordance with the case and practice the principles in their own way and in their own structures. This leads to the variety of stages, processes and work structures that pose problems, consequences and impacts for stakeholders, in particular the client and the interior designer themselves. This helps the workflow and the interior project delivery process to be streamlined. The objectives are to determine the flow, process, scope and elements of the indoor project delivery practice, to make the scope and elements of the indoor project delivery work process compatible with the other work practice plan, as well as to make a proposal on the indoor design work development plan. The qualitative approach to the research involves the use of systematic literature review, content analysis on interior design, project process practice from approved documentation and related documents, and a series of interviews with members of the interior project team and stakeholders, triangulation and confirmation. This analysis will provide useful information to the client, interior designers themselves and those involved in the project. The IDWDP framework may eliminate job interruptions, task management, clashing of works, and coordination of work.

Ariel planetary interiors White Paper

The recently adopted Ariel ESA mission will measure the atmospheric composition of a large number of exoplanets. This information will then be used to better constrain planetary bulk compositions. While the connection between the composition of a planetary atmosphere and the bulk interior is still being investigated, the combination of the atmospheric composition with the measured mass and radius of exoplanets will push the field of exoplanet characterisation to the next level, and provide new insights of the nature of planets in our galaxy. In this white paper, we outline the ongoing activities of the interior working group of the Ariel mission, and list the desirable theoretical developments as well as the challenges in linking planetary atmospheres, bulk composition and interior structure.

Natural Building Materials for Interior Fitting and Refurbishment-What about Indoor Emissions?

Indoor air quality can be adversely affected by emissions from building materials, consequently having a negative impact on human health and well-being. In this study, more than 30 natural building materials (earth dry boards and plasters, bio-based insulation materials, and boards made of wood, flax, reed, straw, etc.) used for interior works were investigated as to their emissions of (semi-)volatile organic compounds ((S)VOC), formaldehyde, and radon. The study focused on the emissions from complete wall build-ups as they can be used for internal partition walls and the internal insulation of external walls. Test chambers were designed, allowing the compounds to release only from the surface of the material facing indoors under testing parameters that were chosen to simulate model room conditions. The emission test results were evaluated using the AgBB evaluation scheme, a procedure for the health-related evaluation of construction products and currently applied for the approval of specific groups of building materials in Germany. Seventeen out of 19 sample build-ups tested in this study would have passed this scheme since they generally proved to be low-emitting and although the combined emissions of multiple materials were tested, 50% of the measurements could be terminated before half of the total testing time.

Plasters with wood processing waste additives

The paper assesses the influence of additives based on wood processing industry waste on the physical and mechanical properties of plasters. As additives to the plaster, the bark and sawdust of Scots pine were used, previously crushed and purified from extractive and easily hydrolysable substances. Extraction of extractive substances from wood processing waste was performed by hot water extraction. The content of additives was in the range from 1.5 to 6 % by weight of cement. The average density, compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, water absorption, and thermal conductivity were monitored for the obtained samples of plasters. As a result of the carried out experiments, it was found that the quantitative increase of the additive in the mixture reduces the density of the mortar, water absorption increases slightly, the coefficient of thermal conductivity and the tensile strength during bending decreases. The compressive strength increases with the addition of sawdust 1.5 %, in other cases it decreases with the increase in the amount of the additive. It is shown that mortars with the addition of fine wood processing waste can be used as plasters with reduced thermal conductivity for interior work.
