With growing awareness of the vulnerability of the near-Earth space region and the anticipated surge in satellite objects, efforts are underway to assess and implement various mitigation strategies. These aim to minimize the impact of space activities and ...
We characterize the photochemically relevant conical intersections between the lowest-lying accessible electronic excited states of the different DNA/RNA nucleobases using Cholesky decomposition-based complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) al ...
Public space manifests itself as the physical fundament of public life in European democracies. This chapter elaborates on the culture of public space and how it characterises European design. As Europe diverges in political cultures and histories, economi ...
The sustainable turn in urban territories is manifold and must not rely solely on technologies to address energy efficiency. This research proposes a set of metrics as a preliminary work to further study day-to-day variability in activity-travel behaviors. ...
Despite raising awareness of sustainable behavior and considerable investments in the public transport network and active mobility infrastructure, car use remains the main practice for daily mobility in Switzerland. This work postulates that resistances to ...
Microbial life in porous systems dominates the functioning of numerous ecosystems, ranging from stream sediments to soils. While these environments are characterized by structures that vary spatially over orders of magnitude, the traditional research focus ...
The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...
This research explores the unreasoned influences of locational behaviour – i.e. locational habits – in Activity- Travel-Behaviour (ATB). In particular, the interrelations between Activity Space characteristics and mobility patterns. In a wider research eff ...
Reproduction can be perceived in two opposite ways from the urban planning point of view, both as a driving force and as a braking weight. Driving force because urban phenomena are precisely produced by re-producing, and especially by reproducing the funda ...
The last quarter of a century has seen a dramatic rise of interest in the spatial constraints on multisensory integration. However, until recently, the majority of this research has investigated integration in the space directly in front of the observer. T ...
