‘Resources to Needs’: A Paradigm for Addressing the Potentiality of the Urban Volume

Underground resources are often addressed only out of necessity, leading to conflicts between uses and missing opportunities for productive synergies. The Deep City project is exploring a paradigm of ‘resources to needs’, which considers resource potential ...

Soft Pneumatic Actuator Fascicles for High Force and Reliability

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Juan Manuel Florez Marin, Hamed Sadeghi

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are found in mobile robots, assistive wearable devices, and rehabilitative technologies. While soft actuators have been one of the most crucial elements of technology leading the development of the soft robotics field, they ...

Modelling the future secondary resource availability and recycling potential of aluminium in austria

Production of secondary aluminium (Al) currently represents about 70% of total European Al production with a still rising trend and about 50% European final Al demand. The utilization of anthropogenic Al resources as secondary raw materials is therefore a ...

Mobility Intentions of Foreign Researchers: The Role of Non-economic Motivations

Stefano Horst Baruffaldi

Recent contributions suggest that non-economic factors could be important motivational drivers of scientific mobility. We investigate this hypothesis in a sample of foreign researchers in Italy and Portugal, examining their willingness to leave the host co ...

Covalent Immobilization of a Molecular Catalyst on Cu2O Photocathodes for CO2 Reduction

Michael Graetzel, Peng Gao, Jingshan Luo, Thomas Moehl, Matthew Thomas Mayer, Marcel Roland Schreier

Sunlight-driven CO2 reduction is a promising way to close the anthropogenic carbon cycle. Integrating light harvester and electrocatalyst functions into a single photo electrode, which converts solar energy and CO2 directly into reduced carbon species, is ...

Optimization of low-head hydropower recovery in water supply networks

Irene Almeida Samora

Water supply networks in cities with sloping topography may have a considerable potential for the installation of micro hydropower plants. Since these water supply networks are complex systems with many constraints, the identification of the best locations ...

Undecidability through Fourier series

In computability theory a variety of combinatorial systems are encountered (word problems, production systems) that exhibit undecidability properties. Here we seek such structures in the realm of Analysis, more specifically in the area of Fourier Analysis. ...

Analytical Modeling of Wind Farms: A New Approach for Power Prediction

Fernando Porté Agel, Amin Niayifar

Wind farm power production is known to be strongly affected by turbine wake effects. The purpose of this study is to develop and test a new analytical model for the prediction of wind turbine wakes and the associated power losses in wind farms. The new mod ...

Production de l'espace & production de l'art : l'espace comme produit et moyen de production

Mischa-Sébastien Piraud

Après avoir vu ailleurs comment l'espace travaille de l'intérieur la production de l'art (Piraud & Pattaroni, 2014), nous verrons ici comment l'art participe de la production de l'espace. En repartant du célèbre ouvrage de Henri Lefebvre, on reviendra sur ...
