(MDPI, 2021-09-18)
The secondary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are distress triggers and risk factors for mental health. Conversely, self-compassion skills and compassionate thoughts/behaviors towards suffering may contribute to their ...
Plug and Play Modular Façade Construction System for Renovation for Residential Buildings
(MDPI, 2021-09-18)
The present paper focuses on the architectural and constructional features required to ensure that building envelope renovation are safe, functional, and adaptable to the building stock, with particular focus on “plug and ...
Professional Quality of Life in Research Involving Laboratory Animals
(MDPI, 2021-09-08)
Many workers contribute to the success of animal welfare and study outcomes in biomedical research. However, the professional quality of life (ProQoL) of those who work with laboratory animals has not been explored in ...
On Deterministic and Stochastic Multiple Pathogen Epidemic Models
(MDPI, 2021-08-12)
In this paper, we consider a stochastic epidemic model with two pathogens. In order to analyze the coexistence of two pathogens, we compute numerically the expectation time until extinction (the mean persistence time), ...
Interactions between Reduced Graphene Oxide with Monomers of (Calcium) Silicate Hydrates: A First-Principles Study
(MDPI, 2021-08-31)
Graphene is a two-dimensional material, with exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Graphene-based materials are, therefore, excellent candidates for use in nanocomposites. We investigated reduced ...
