As technology advances, surface coatings become more and more important to assure materials performances. In recent years, molecular coatings have found larger acceptance and uses. Among them, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are attractive because they ar ...
This paper is a discussion of a recent publication by Sekkal and coworkers, which investigated the elasticity, cohesion, and stability of the C-S-H (001) surface as a function of porosity using molecular dynamics simulations. In our discussion, we highligh ...
The focus of this thesis is to develop methods to address research challenges related to correlation patterns in discrete choice models. In the context of correlations within alternatives, we extend the novel methodology of the multiple indicator solution ...
Demand response has the potential of reducing peaks of electricity demand by about 20% in the US, where buildings represent roughly 70% of the total electricity demand. Buildings are dynamic systems in constant change (i.e. occupants' behavior, refurbishme ...
Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructures in order to satisfy the demand induced
by public transport modes is key to achieving good level-of-service for passengers during
transfers. High temporal variability in demand can lead to high con ...
Buildings account for over 70% of the electricity use in the US. As cities grow, high peaks of electricity consumption are becoming more frequent, which leads to higher prices for electricity. Demand response is the coordination of electrical loads such th ...
Modern cloud data centers (DCs) need to tackle efficiently the increasing demand for computing resources and address the energy efficiency challenge. Therefore, it is essential to develop resource provisioning policies that are aware of virtual machine (VM ...
Cloud computing has been experiencing sharp development over the last years, leading to an increased demand for application migration to the cloud. Cloud providers, in an effort to attract more customers and earn their confidence, offer to tenants the illu ...
The signature of international commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the COP21 Paris Agreement in 2015 demonstrates a current favourable policy context to address environmental issues. These engagements have been endorsed by the ...

Fling-step and forward directivity are the major consequences of near-fault ground motions as they can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures located in the vicinity of the fault. The pernicious effect of forward directivity on the seismic behavio ...
