Abstract: Established in 1947, the International Organization for Standardization is a non-governmental federation of national standards bodies from 157 countries worldwide, one from each country. ISO’s work results in international agreements which are published as International Standards. The first ISO standard was published in 1951 with the title ‘Standard reference temperature for industrial length measurement’.

TL;DR: Comprehensive evaluation of PPE begins with a biophysical assessment of materials using a guarded hot plate to determine the thermal characteristics (thermal resistance and water vapor permeability) and data may be used in biomedical models to predict thermal strain under a variety of environmental and work conditions.

Efficient Strengthening Technique to Increase the Flexural Resistance of Existing RC Slabs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a near-surface mounted (NSM) technique based on the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates.
Behaviour of fibre reinforced cementitious matrix strengthened concrete columns under eccentric compression loading
TL;DR: In this article, FRCM (fibre reinforced cementitious matrix) reinforced concrete columns were tested under axial and eccentric compression and the results showed the capacity for plastic deformation.

Injectable acrylic bone cements for vertebroplasty with improved properties
TL;DR: Improved formulations of radiopaque and injectable poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cements were prepared with different amounts (10-50 wt.%) of Ba TiO3 or SrTiO3 particles as the radiopaques agent, leading to formulations with improved mechanical properties and injectability compared to those obtained with the untreated fillers.
Comparative analysis of environmental impacts of maize-biogas and photovoltaics on a land use basis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared ground-mounted photovoltaics (PV) and the maize-biogas-electricity route with regard to their potential to mitigate environmental pressure, assuming that a given agricultural area is available for energy production.
