Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en avsevärd del av Sveriges klimatpåverkan och resursanvändning, där stålproduktionen är en betydande faktor. Trots att stål är ett material med hög återvinningsgrad är direktåterbruket av bärande stålkomponenter i dagsläget begränsat. Detta utgör en outnyttjad potential för att minska koldioxidutsläpp och främja en cirkulär ekonomi, där Design för Demontering The construction and real estate sector accounts for a considerable share of Sweden's climate impact and resource use, with steel production being a significant factor. Although steel is a material with a high recycling rate, the direct reuse of load-bearing steel components is currently limited. This represents an untapped potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting a circul

A lattice model for fibril formation on the basis of general peptide interactions is presented. Fibrils are well-structured protein aggregates and a key phenomenon in many diseases, among them Alzheimer. We study the model’s equilibrium and kinetic properties using Wang-Landau sampling and a Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm with cluster moves. The peptides are shown to form ordered fibrilar aggreg
