This case study applies life-cycle assessment methods to the preliminary design of an office building in order to quantify the benefits achieved when reusing its load-bearing components. Results show that the production of the load-bearing system would acc ...
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's and epilepsy requires monitoring a subject's development of symptoms through electroencephalography (EEG) signals over long periods. Wearable devices enable convenient monitoring of biosignals, unlike complex and costly hospi ...
Graphical expression through mapping can be an essential tool to conduct urban analysis, capable of expressing contextual spatial distribution and providing complementary information to numerical analysis. Although urban analytics are central for most issu ...
In this paper we tackle the problem of finding the source of a gaseous leak with a robot in a three-dimensional (3-D) physical space. The proposed method extends the operational range of the probabilistic Infotaxis algorithm [1] into 3-D and makes multiple ...
This Master thesis is meant to be the first step toward working to quantify the environmental impacts of Swiss cleantech industry when implemented abroad and how this knowledge can help frame new policy approaches to foster this important industry. The red ...
This paper describes how the scientific contributions of Prof. Szargut and his co-workers have inspired the academic activities of the Exergy Team of the Laboratory of Environmental and Thermal Engineering (LETE) of the Polytechnic School of the University ...
This thesis applies structural optimization techniques to develop a general methodology for design from reuse. A thorough case study serves as proof-of-concept. Reusing elements from dismantled structures appears as a promising, yet little explored approac ...
Microbial-induced calcite precipitation is a biochemical process of biomineralization. The process form mineral crystals composed of calcium carbonate and if precipitated into a sand matrix can lead to the formation of sandstone. The sandstone created in s ...
Functional materials are crucial to meet today's societal challenges and needs, such as the transition towards low carbon energy production to reduce climate change, renewable energies and green economy, clean mobility and improved communication. In order ...
Improved water management strategies necessitate a solid understanding of environmental impacts associated with various flow release policies. Habitat suitability models use hydrodynamic simulations to generate weighted usable area curves, which are useful ...
