Reducing energy consumption in the pulp and paper industry can lead to considerable cost savings. The three main points to consider when implementing an energy efficiency program in a mill are the reduction of the energy requirement, the energy recovery an ...
We theoretically analyze the carrier capture and distribution among the available energy levels of a symmetric semiconductor quantum dot under continuous-wave excitation resonant with the barrier energy levels. At low temperature, all the dot level occupat ...
Technology scaling has caused the feature sizes to shrink continuously, whereas interconnects, unlike transistors, have not followed the same trend. Designing 3D stack architectures is a recently proposed approach to overcome the power consumption and dela ...
The improvement of the energetic behavior of buildings has turned into a major issue due to the high level of energy consumption. One of the main objectives of the current French legislation, thanks to the definition of a global performance indicator (expr ...
The influence of firms on the elaboration of climate policy in a democratic system is quite controversial. Firms do not form a solid bloc of opponents to environmental regulation. Some firms even expect to gain from such regulation, either because they off ...

Environmental energy is becoming a feasible alternative for many low-power systems, such as wireless sensor nodes. Designing an environmentally powered device faces several challenges: choosing the exact type of the energy harvester, the energy storage ele ...
Electricity in industrial businesses represent an important fraction of energy costs, the necessity of it use and, in the majority of the companies, the increasing of their demand plus the variable rising prices of electricity lead the industrials to look ...
A large variety of angularly selective fenestration systems has been developed in the past two decades and shows great potential in improving visual comfort while reducing energy consumption, especially when combined with spectrally selective properties. S ...
Studies on preferences for environmental quality usually posit that price and income explain most of the observed choices. However, we argue that conceptions of social norms and the common good are equally important when analyzing environmental voting outc ...
