The Design Process towards Resource Productivity. A Case Study by Serena Baiani, Paola Altamura

“…In Italy, a powerful lever is represented by the mandatory application of the Minimum Environmental Criteria within Green Public Procurement which, in construction (Ministerial Decree 11/10/2017), concern the totality of the contracts. The paper describes one of the first complete implementations of these Criteria, considering the innovation in the design process from a life cycle perspective, which is reflected in particular in the methods of selection and procurement of natural and eco-friendly materials, with recycled content and certificated products, as well as in the design for disassembly of building components.…”

Strong Convergence of a New Hybrid Iterative Scheme for Nonexpensive Mappings and Applications by Jie Jia, Khurram Shabbir, Khushdil Ahmad, Nehad Ali Shah, Thongchai Botmart

“…This new hybrid iterative scheme converges faster than all leading schemes like Picard-S∗ hybrid, Picard-S, Picard-Ishikawa hybrid, Picard-Mann hybrid, Thakur et al. and Abbas and Nazir, S-iterative, Ishikawa and Mann iterative schemes for contraction mapping. By using the Picard-Thakur hybrid iterative scheme, we can find the solution of delay differential equations and also prove some convergence results for nonexpansive mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space.…”

A Torelli theorem for graphs via quasistable divisors by Alex Abreu, Marco Pacini

“…We present a combinatorial version of the Torelli theorem, which demonstrates that the poset of quasistable divisors of a graph completely determines the biconnected components of the graph (up to contracting separating edges). Moreover, we achieve a natural extension of this theorem to tropical curves.…”
