The paper describes and discusses the application of a guided evolutionary approach for the optimization of water distribution networks. Initially developed for the Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II), the approach was adapted and improved for competi ...
This report provides a selection of relevant energy, environmental and economic key performance indicators to support scenario analysis and decision-making process of the IntegrCity platform. The selected indicators have been identified from standards, nor ...
Electricity storage is a multipurpose technology that facilitates the integration of high levels of variable renewables, particularly wind and solar, in power systems. Although electricity storage promises to be a game-changer for the grid and utilities, t ...
We prove perturbative renormalizability of projectable Horava gravity. The key element of the argument is the choice of a gauge which ensures the correct anisotropic scaling of the propagators and their uniform falloff at large frequencies and momenta. Thi ...
Sustainable manufacturing has been focus of the industry for some time. Due to the holistic nature of sustainability not only the manufacturing processes but the whole life cycle and the environmental, economic and social aspects of the product should be t ...
The Codelco Andina copper mine is operating in high alpine terrain where avalanches pose a threat to the operations and the infrastructure. A dedicated avalanche warning service is responsible for opening and closing the heavily used access road. To suppor ...
In a context of reconsideration of urban sprawl, there is certain consensus on the necessity to promote densification processes in European urban territories. Faced with this challenge, the architectural and urban project is called to play an essential rol ...
Various countries and communities are defining strategic energy plans driven by concerns related to climate change and security of energy supply. Energy models are needed to support this decision-making process. The long time horizon inherent to strategic ...
This paper presents the results of an online survey that was conducted in 2014 to assess the evolution of computing in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) education. A primary goal includes contributing to the understanding of the evolution o ...
Background Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that value-based decision-making may rely on mechanisms of evidence accumulation. However no studies have explicitly investigated the time when single decisions are taken based on such an accumulation process. ...
