A statistical method for comparing different retrofitting measures of buildings and evaluating their robustness against climate change

Evaluating the usefulness and the reliability of retrofitted buildings for future climate can be a challenging task, while different scenarios and uncertainties exist both for retrofitting buildings and future climate. This paper presents a method to asses ...

Robustness Assessment Methodology for the Evaluation of Building Performance with a view to Climate Uncertainties

Marilyne Andersen, Giorgia Chinazzo, Parag Rastogi

This paper describes a new methodology to assess the robustness of building performance in the long term with a probabilistic approach. The aim is to include uncertainties related to climate change predictions as well as the intrinsic uncertainties in weat ...

Atmospheric Composition and Biogeochemical Cycles over the Last Million Years

Jérôme Chappellaz

Ice core analysis provides the most direct evidence of changes in some major greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O) over the climatic cycle covering approximately the last 150,000 years. A remarkable overall correlation is observed between the CO2 or CH4 reco ...

Temperature-Aware Design and Management for 3D Multi-Core Architectures

David Atienza Alonso, Mohamed Mostafa Sabry Aly

Vertically-integrated 3D multiprocessors systems-on-chip (3D MPSoCs) provide the means to continue integrating more functionality within a unit area while enhancing manufacturing yields and runtime performance. However, 3D MPSoCs incur amplified thermal ch ...

Eemian interglacial reconstructed from a Greenland folded ice core

Jérôme Chappellaz

The analysis of air bubbles trapped in polar ice has permitted the reconstruction of past atmospheric concentrations of CO2 over various timescales, and revealed that large climate changes over tens of thousands of years are generally accompanied by change ...

Extending the service life of Swiss bridges of cultural value

Eugen Brühwiler

Bridges of high cultural value and aesthetic quality deserve respectful treatment and construction interventions must balance these assets with the severe requirements of utilisation. This is particularly relevant to structural engineers and bridge owners ...

Convex-Based Thermal Management for 3D MPSoCs Using DVFS and Variable-Flow Liquid Cooling

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Francesco Zanini

In this work, we propose a novel online thermal management approach based on model predictive control for 3D multi-processors system on chip (MPSoCs) using microfluidic cooling. The controller uses dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) for the compu ...

SensorScope: Out-of-the-Box Environmental Monitoring

Martin Vetterli, Marc Parlange, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, François Ingelrest, Olivier Couach

An important field of application for wireless sensor networks is environmental monitoring. Given the importance of potential climate changes, environmental impact on cities, and pollution, it is an application domain where sensor networks can have great i ...

Chemical and dynamical effects on cloud droplet number: Implications for estimates of the aerosol indirect effect

Athanasios Nenes

Most aerosol-cloud-climate assessment studies use empirical aerosol number/droplet number relationships, which are subject to large variability. Historically, this variability has been attributed to unresolved variations in updraft velocity. We revisit thi ...
