Seismic-Resilient Structural Systems: Geotechnical Engineering
Abstract: Earthquakes represent one of the most destructive natural hazards, capable of causing severe structural damage, loss of life, and substantial economic disruption. Seismic waves propagating through the ground can induce excessive forces and deformations in buildings, often leading to partial or complete collapse. Statistical records indicate that thousands of earthquakes occur globally each year, including several major events that result in significant damage. Past earthquake disasters have repeatedly demonstrated that …

Thin Film Technology in Sensor Manufacturing – A Technical Discussion
Abstract: Thin‑film technology has become the cornerstone of modern sensor manufacturing, enabling the convergence of miniaturisation, multifunctionality, and cost‑effective mass production. This paper surveys the latest advances in deposition techniques—ranging from magnetron sputtering and chemical vapour deposition to atomic‑layer deposition (ALD) and ink‑jet‑printed sol‑gel processes—and examines how their unique material‑control capabilities translate into performance gains across the sensor spectrum (chemical, physical, and bio‑sensing). By integrating nanoscale thickness control (≤ 10 nm) …
