Subaltern housing policies: Accommodating migrant workers in wealthy Geneva

Luca Giovanni Pattaroni, Maxime Carl Felder

In the wealthy and orderly city of Geneva, Switzerland, accommodation centres built in haste between the 1950s and the 1980s to house seasonal guestworkers from southern Europe are still standing and still inhabited. Today's residents are precarious worker ...

Unexpected post‐glacial colonisation route explains the white colour of barn owls ( Tyto alba ) from the British Isles

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli

The climate fluctuations of the Quaternary shaped the movement of species in and out of glacial refugia. In Europe, the majority of species followed one of the described traditional postglacial recolonization routes from the southern peninsulas towards the ...

Transmittance thresholds of electrochromic glazing to achieve annual low-glare work environments

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

A recent study on the glare protection performance of electrochromic (EC) glazing showed that visible transmittance levels lower than 0.6% are necessary to achieve comfortable situations for sun positions, that were close to the central field of view. Howe ...

Aerosol acidity and liquid water content regulate the dry deposition of inorganic reactive nitrogen

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Ecosystem productivity is strongly modulated by the atmospheric deposition of inorganic reactive nitrogen (the sum of ammonium and nitrate). The individual contributions of ammonium and nitrate vary considerably over space and time, giving rise to complex ...

Temporal and spatial analysis of ozone concentrations in Europe based on timescale decomposition and a multi-clustering approach

Satoshi Takahama, Eirini Boleti, Christoph Hueglin

Air quality measures that were implemented in Europe in the 1990s resulted in reductions of ozone precursor concentrations. In this study, the effect of these reductions on ozone is investigated by analyzing surface measurements of this pollutant for the t ...

Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana

Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...

Energy integration of CO2 networks and Power to Gas for emerging energy autonomous cities in Europe

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Raluca-Ancuta Suciu

The concept of urban CO2 networks has been developed to deploy heat pump based district heating and cooling systems in dense urban areas. The use of the CO2 phase change reduces the cost of the heat distribution while allowing to recover waste heat that is ...

Validation and improvement of Risk-UE LM2 capacity curves for URM buildings with stiff floors and RC shear walls buildings

Pierino Lestuzzi, Angelo Garofano, Stefano Podesta

This paper addresses seismic vulnerability assessment at an urban scale and more specifically the capacity curves involved for building damage prediction. Standard capacity curves are a function of predefined building typology and are proposed in the Risk- ...
