Importance of Digitalization in the Construction Industry
The construction industry is among the least digitized industries, and the lack of innovation in construction project management practices has led to decreases in productivity. The European Directives for Public Procurement are pushing the entire construction supply chain towards more radical digital transformations over the next years, and project managers are left with the difficult task to harness ICT for the involvement and management of project stakeholders. This entry is based on the article "Realizing the Need for Digital Transformation of Stakeholder Management: A Systematic Review in the Construction Industry" recently published in the Sustainability journal.

Dynamic Hand Gesture Recognition
  As one of the most important tools of human-computer interaction, dynamic gesture recognition technology has attracted great attention and been applied to various industries. Meanwhile, with the advent of some high-precision deep vision sensors, the reliable data can be achieved for dynamic gesture recognition. Currently, however, the researches of dynamic gesture recognition still has certain limitations and challenges. In order to explore more methods to improve the performance of the dynamic gesture recognition, based on the Leap Motion Controller, a recognition system was proposed to recognize American Sign Language and some daily gestures.

Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Agriculture
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a natural process of changing atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into a simple soluble nontoxic form (NH4+ primarily) which is used by plant cell for synthesis of various biomolecules. Nitrogen fixation is one of the major sources of nitrogen for plants and a key step distributing this nutrient in the ecosystem. Optimization of BNF is critical to sustain both food production and environmental health.

Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites in the Construction of Bridges
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are two-phase materials consisting of a base material and filler material. Base material is referred as a matrix or a binder material. This is a polymer (plastic), either thermoset or thermoplastic. Polymer matrices are natural or synthetic. The latter kind is petrochemical-based and includes polyester, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and epoxy. Due to its specific mechanical properties, a polymer matrix needs to be reinforced by filler material. FRP composites consist of fibers or other reinforcing material, which provide sufficient strength in one or more directions.

Solid State Transformers in Distribution System
Solid State Transformer (SST) is considered to be the most suitable and appropriate conversion device to replace the traditional prevailing transformer. In this device, the weight/volume savings, extensive efficiency enhancement and above all, the cost economization are taken to be the hallmarks. SST configuration comprises of three main stages (i.e., a rectifier, isolation through the HF transformer and finally the DC-AC converter to reproduce line frequency AC).

Pomegranate
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a fruit that is rich in bioactive compounds that has a biowaste (rind and seed) with the potential to be converted into value-added products in a wide variety of applications. Recent studies have demonstrated the potent antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of using pomegranate rind and seed as natural food additives, thus making researchers incorporate them into bioplastics and edible coatings for food packaging. Additionally, these components have shown great plasticizing effects on packaging materials while extending the shelf life of food through active packaging. Even within skin health applications, pomegranate seed oil and its bioactive compounds have been particularly effective in combating UV-induced stresses on animal skin and in-vitro models, where cells and microorganisms are separated from the whole organism. They have also aided in healing wounds and have shown major anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties.

Chemical Composition of Sulfide Copper in Chile
Copper is a metal that presents several industrial applications due to its attractive properties, such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductibility, and ductility. It is mainly used in electrical wiring, industrial machinery, plastic electroplating, printed wiring boards, zinc die casting, automotive bumpers, and rotogravure rolls. Copper is especially important in the semiconductor industry because, in general, the connections on chips are made of this metal due to its low electrical resistance, good mechanical properties, and high corrosion resistance. In addition to this, copper can form alloys with various elements.

List of AMD Athlon Microprocessors
Athlon is the name of a family of CPUs designed by AMD, targeted mostly at the desktop market. It has been largely unused as just "Athlon" since 2001 when AMD started naming its processors Athlon XP, but in 2008 began referring to single core 64-bit processors from the AMD Athlon X2 and AMD Phenom product lines. Later the name began being used for some APUs.
