Eco-efficient construction has emerged as a distinct new field. The reuse or recycling of residues for production of building materials has the potential to avoid incorrect disposal, decrease the volume of waste in landfills ...

Reuse of computer based learning material is a key requirement for any practical approach to support adaptive and dynamic teaching/learning inside and outside the classroom. Unlike hardware technology innovations, ...

The expansion and maintenance of electricity distribution networks generates large amounts of waste, much of it in the form of discarded insulators that are not reused or recycled. This paper describes the results of tests ...

Carbon fiber fabrics have been largely used in composite structures as they provide high mechanical strength and potential weigh reduction, allowing more efficiency in product design. However, the production of the parts ...

Learning Object Metadata (LOM) intends to facilitate the retrieval and reuse of learning material. However, the fastidious task of authoring them limits their use. Motivated by this issue, we introduce an original method ...
