Post-synthesis deposition of mesoporous niobic acid with improved thermal stability by kinetically controlled sol–gel overcoating

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Yuan-Peng Du

Niobia is a well-known solid acid catalyst owing to its intrinsic Brønsted and Lewis acidity. However, catalyst development with this oxide has been limited by our ability to control its pore structure and thermal stability. Here we report a novel post-syn ...

Stiffness and Strength Estimation of Damaged Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using Crack Pattern

Katrin Beyer, Kiarash Mohtasham Dolatshahi

After an earthquake, the residual stiffness and strength of structural elements are typically estimated based on a qualitative visual inspection of cracks that is prone to error. In this paper a new approach is proposed to automatically estimate the update ...
