The main focus of this thesis is the exploration of inorganic and metal-organic heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogen (H2) energy applications. In particular, we investigated metal nanoparticles (NPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for their employment ...
The concept of New Brutalism has been the victim of a series of misunderstandings, myths and aporias.
The initial intentions, devoid of any principle or dogma, have passed from hand to hand. The original definitionâif only one can be identifiedâhas be ...
We determine the limiting efficiency for monolithic tandem solar cells that employ crystalline silicon for the top-cell as well as for the bottom cell. In such a design, the top-cell extends over the region of very high generation rate that forms at the fr ...
Organizzato dall'Università della Svizzera italiana, Institute for Economic Research – Observatory on Public Finance and Energy, "Confronti" si propone di offrire occasioni di incontro, riflessione e discussione sulla dinamica economica cantonale (congiunt ...
This chapter sheds light on the paradox between the general perception of climate change related problems and resistance to measures addressing it, namely the support of renewable energy policies at the ballot box. Using conjoint analyses, we investigate t ...
Modern mesh generation addresses the development of robust algorithms that construct a discrete representation of the geometry into polytopal elements conforming to divergent properties: (i) fidelity to complex geometrical features, (ii) support for high s ...
The primary objective of this doctoral thesis is the design and development of hierarchical control schemes for the overall operation and control of Islanded mGs (ImGs) with flexible structuresâor, with no reference topologies.The control methodologies ...
We propose a novel type of photonic-crystal (PC)-based nanostructures for efficient and tunable optically-induced spin current generation via the spin Seebeck and inverse spin Hall effects. It has been experimentally demonstrated that optical surface modes ...
Demographic models of human cultural evolution have high explanatory potential but weak empirical support. Here we use a global dataset of rock art sites and climate and genetics-based estimates of ancient population densities to test a new model based on ...
Mental disorders, e.g. depression and dementia, are categorized as priority conditions according to the World Health Organization (WHO). When diagnosing, psychologists employ structured questionnaires/interviews, and different cognitive tests. Although acc ...
