Contrasting Views of the Electric Double Layer in Electrochemical CO2 Reduction: Continuum Models vs Molecular Dynamics

In the field of electrochemical CO2 reduction, both continuum models and molecular dynamics (MD) models have been used to understand the electric double layer (EDL). MD often focuses on the region within a few nm of the electrode, while continuum models ca ...

Influence of amount of shear reinforcement and its post-yield response on the shear resistance of reinforced concrete members

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Frédéric Monney

The minimum amount of shear reinforcement to be provided in reinforced concrete members has been a topic of debate and research for decades without reaching a consensus. Defining such values is however instrumental to build in an economic manner and to saf ...

(Architecture's) power and the (Arnhem) panopticon: from Foucault's description to Koolhaas' appropriation and reply

André Patrão Neves De Frias Martins

There is an abundance of cases – architectural and philosophical, and especially post-modern; by academics, practitioners, and critics – in which a relation between architecture and philosophy is at work, with one engaging the other directly, or simply in ...

A Novel Iterative Method To Approximate Structured Singular Values

Daniel Kressner

A novel method for approximating structured singular values (also known as values) is proposed and investigated. These quantities constitute an important tool in the stability analysis of uncertain linear control systems as well as in structured eigenvalue ...

A Therapy Parameter-based Model for Predicting Blood Glucose Concentrations in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

Denis Gillet, Grégory François, Alain Bock

In this paper, the problem of predicting blood glucose concentrations (BG) for the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes, is addressed. Predicting BG is of very high importance as most treatments, which consist in exogenous insulin injections, rely on ...

Determining the Conductivities of the Two Charge Transport Phases in Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells by Impedance Spectroscopy

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Soo-Jin Moon, Nripan Mathews, Feng Li

To apply impedance spectroscopy (IS) for studying charge transport in the mesoporous film of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ss-DSCs), it is necessary to determine the relative conductivities of the electron and hole transporting phases, given the ...
