Research problem: Housing is responsible for a considerable part of global resource consumption. In Switzerland, it accounts for almost one third of the country's CO2 emissions and half of the total energy demand. Thus, housing plays an important role in t ...
The seismic assessment of existing unreinforced masonry buildings to determine their vulnerability is a critical issue for all earthquake-prone locations, and Switzerland is no exception. As a result, a thorough examination of the behaviour of masonry stru ...
Despite recent advances in the field of cyclic alkyl amino carbenes (CAACs) including a few complementary synthetic strategies affording CAACs with various substitution patterns, the application potential of chiral CAACs to efficiently catalyze asymmetric ...
Nitrate contamination of rivers from agricultural sources, is a challenging problem for water quality management. The relationship between solute concentrations and streamflow rates (C-Q) observed at catchment outlets provide useful information on hydrolog ...
How can one construct spatial histories and architectural theories from gestures, words and voices, bodies and minor threads? This research delves into oral and embodied architectural and spatial knowledge as modes of producing buildings, spaces and spatia ...
Water management by gas diffusion electrodes is a fundamental aspect of the performance of electrochemical cells. Herein, we introduce the characteristic constrictions size as a descriptor for microporous layers (MPL). This parameter is calculated by volum ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have firmly established in the field of porous materials since their early discovery in the 1990s. With a plethora of applications, these materials offer endless possibilities owing to their tunable, modular nature. The vast ...
Nanoporous single-layer graphene (N-SLG) membranes, owing to their single-atom thinness, have the potential to exceed the permeance and selectivity limits of gas separation membranes. However, two key issues in the top-down N-SLG synthesis need to be addre ...
Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are a type of polymeric nanoparticles formed by collapsing/folding individual polymer chains via intra-molecular interactions. Their emergence holds promise to construct sub-20 nm polymeric nanoparticles with defined stru ...
In this paper we study a fully connected planted spin glass named the planted XY model. Motivation for studying this system comes both from the spin glass field and the one of statistical inference where it models the angular synchronization problem. We d ...
