Biomass is an attractive source of renewable carbon-based fuels and chemicals and their production is envisaged within the framework of integrated biorefineries. Multiple research efforts to make biorefineries more economically competitive and sustainable ...
Dams are critical infrastructures which may be endangered by natural hazards as extreme foods. The water release structures especially the spillways must be designed in such a way that they can ensure the safe passage of extreme floods. Uncontrolled overto ...
Contrary to the long-standing view in the finance literature that firms should maximise payment delays, research in operations management suggests that long payment delays can be suboptimal. In this study, we reconcile these two views by applying a seconda ...
Energy demand and economic development are intrinsically linked. Earlier economic development came at the price of serious environmental pollution, posing a risk to life on earth. Thus, a transition from fossil to renewable energy is needed. Among the rene ...
This work proposes a novel approach for the simultaneous synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) and Utility Systems of chemical processes and energy systems. Given a set of hot and cold process streams and a set of available utility systems, the method ...
Heat exchangers are key components of energy conversion systems, including HVAC&R equipment. The compact microchannel design of a heat exchanger (MCHX) allows for significant reduction of its volume, weight, and raw material, in comparison to conventional ...
The policy response to the recent financial crisis has broadly focused on two themes: 1) Increasing the banking sectorsâ resilience to future financial shocks: 2) Improving credit availability to households and firms via lowering both short and long-term ...
We contribute a learning from demonstration approach for robots to acquire skills from multi-modal high-dimensional data. Both latent representations and associations of different modalities are proposed to be jointly learned through an adapted variational ...
Autonomous vehicles are becoming an essential tool in a wide range of environmental applications that include ambient data acquisition, remote sensing, and mapping of the spatial extent of pollutant spills. Among these applications, pollution source locali ...
The intrusiveness and the increasing invasiveness of online advertising have, in the last few years, raised serious concerns regarding user privacy andWeb usability. As a reaction to these concerns, we have witnessed the emergence of a myriad of ad-blockin ...
