Towards more sustainable and environmentally-friendly concretes : The use of silica fume
(WITPress, 2009)Concrete is the most widely used construction material. At the same time, however, the concrete industry is a major CO2 emitter thus contributing towards global warming. While enhanced efficiency in the production of ... -
Self-consolidating concrete and its bond to reinforcement
(Precast Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2010)Research has shown that high slump concrete mixtures can exhibit bond problems especially at the top-cast bars due to blocking of bleed water underneath the reinforcement. As far as self-consolidating concrete is concerned ... -
Development of uhpfrcc with the use of materials a vailable in Cyprus
(Czech Concrete Society, 2011)The aim of the specific study is to present the results of an extended work on the development of an UHPFRCC with the use of materials available in Cyprus. The fundamental idea for the development of this high performance ... -
Green concrete - Recycling construction waste
(Czech Concrete Society, 2011)Within the European Union, the construction and demolition wastes come to at least 180 million tons per year. Roughly 75% of the waste is disposed to landfill, despite its major recycling potential. The bulk constituents ... -
Reproducibility of self-compacting concrete batches between two different EU laboratories
(2012)Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) offers a wide variety of advantages during casting. Considering the worldwide uniformity of guidelines concerning the composition and casting instructions for the production of fresh SCC, ... -
Static response of UHPFRCC slab specimens
(2012)The aim of this study is to present the results of an extended work on the development of an Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) and the experimental determination of the mechanical ... -
Static response and modelling of impact resistance of UHPFRCC slab specimens
(lsraeli Association of Construction and lnfrastructure Engineers (IACIE) and Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Technion - lsrael lnstitute of Technology, 2013)The demand for improved properties of the construction materials increase with time and the related design and construction codes are adapted in an analogous manner. UHPFRCCs represent a class of cement composites which ... -
Durability restoration of cementitious composites via micro encapsulated mineral repair agents
(CRC Press/Balkema, 2016)This research proposes and evaluates an embedded self-sustained restoration system based on the trigger-release of microencapsulated repair agents within the concrete matrix. Micron-sized polymeric capsules carrying a ... -
Developing microfluidic devices and techniques for isolation and detection of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)
(2020-10-09)The purpose of this research is to develop microfluidic devices and systems for the effective isolation of bacterial Extracellular vesicles (EVs) by applying Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) operation. The purification and ... -
Development and Validation of the Body Compassion Questionnaire
(2021-11-21)Background: The associations between compassion, self-compassion, and body image are well established. However, there is not yet a compassion-informed measure of body compassion that can be applied to any aspect of one’s ... -
Someone Else's Shoes
(Nick Hern Books, 2007-03-08)A sharp and witty satire on the commodification of art and life. An artist sells her work, but believes she still owns it. An advertising genius hunts for the next 'big idea'. A thief steals shoes and calls it activism... ... -
Characterization and optimization of influence of MoS2 hybridization on tribological behaviours of Mg–B4C composites
(2021-06-21)Aerospace and automobile industries are facing with challenges in developing lightweight materials with high corrosion and wear resistance. The magnesium (Mg) alloys are superior to their monolithics, as they have maximum ... -
The role of judo in reducing the Fear of Falling among older people
(Commonwealth Judo Association, 2019-09-28)The Yawara project aims to reduce fear of falling in older populations through the use of judo principles and methods.Evidence suggests a positive association between judo and Bone Mineral Density accrual in pre- and ... -
Positive power: Events as temporary sites of power which “empower” marginalised groups
(2021-05-06)Purpose: The importance of events for marginalised groups has largely been overlooked within tourism, hospitality and event studies. The purpose of this international study is to address this gap, emphasising the positive ... -
Focus on over-the-counter drugs’ misuse; a systematic review on antihistamines, cough medicines and decongestants
(2021-05-07)Background: Over the past 20 years or so the drug misuse scenario has seen the emergence of both prescription-only and over-the-counter (OTC) medications being reported as ingested for recreational purposes. OTC drugs such ... -

A Step-Down ZVS Power Converter with Self-Driven Synchronous Rectifier
(IEEE, 2021-04-27)In this paper a step-down ZVS power converter with a self-driven synchronous rectifier (SDSR) for a low-voltage high-current applications is proposed. A transformer leakage inductance, a resonant capacitor and a diode make ... -
Influence of slicing parameters on surface quality and mechanical properties of 3D-printed CF/PLA composites fabricated by FDM technique
(2021-04-28)This present study focuses on evaluation of mechanical properties of three dimensional (3D)-printed carbon fiber/polylactic acid (CF/PLA) composites, using fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique. The composites were ... -
Music, art and science. : An interdisciplinary liberal approach to teaching and research within higher education
(2020-12-28)There has been a consistent trend in Western HE systems for course structures to become increasingly focused; the ‘art school’ or ‘conservatoire’ competing against unique, and potentially obscure, areas of study within the ... -
