The energy crises of the 1970s, persisting moisture problems, complaints about sick buildings, thermal, visual and olfactory discomfort, and the move towards more sustainability in building construction have pushed Building Physics to the forefront of building innovation. The societal pressure to di

In materials science, composite laminates are assemblages of layers of fibrous composite materials which can be joined to provide required engineering properties, including inplane stiffness, bending stiffness, strength, and thermal expansion. The individual layer consists of high-modulus, high-stre
Ozone is a harmful gas to peopleβs health even at low concentrations. Thus, it has attracted much interest to develop portable energy-saving high-resolution ozone sensors. In this book, the physical principle of photon stimulated ozone sensors based on indium oxide nanostructures has been investigat
A biosensor is an analytical device which converts a biological response into an electrical signal. It consists of 3 parts: the sensitive biological element, the transducer and the associated electronics or signal processors that are primarily responsible for the display of the results in a user-fri
