People spend around 90 percent of their time indoors (home, oce, transportation) in developed countries [1]. This means a long exposure to indoor conditions that have higher concentrations of pollutants compared to outdoors. This exposure can aect the well ...
Understanding urban growth is one with understanding how society evolves to satisfy the needs of its individuals in sharing a common space and adapting to the territory. We propose here a quantitative analysis of the historical development of a large urban ...
The development of biorefineries directed to the production of fuels, chemicals, and energy is important to reduce economic dependence and environmental impacts of a petroleum‐based economy. The last two decades have witnessed a fast industrialization and ...
This report is about finding ways to make green taxes, such as taxes on 'dirty' energy, more acceptable, in particular by chosing a mode of revenue recycling that is prefered by the population. Thus, it investigates distributional and other effects of ener ...
Fundamental changes are currently taking place in mod- ern energy systems and, particularly, in electrical ones. Infras- tructures have to satisfy conflicting requirements: providing reliable and secure services to an increasing number of customers, taking ...
The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) has attracted enormous interest because of the energy crisis and climate change; however, more efficient catalysts are required for practical applications. Herein, we present electrospinning as a faci ...
This paper introduces an inexact, but ultra-low power, computing architecture devoted to the embedded analysis of bio-signals. The platform operates at extremely low voltage supply levels to minimize energy consumption. In this scenario, the reliability of ...
Switzerland is considering implementing a strategic energy reserve, a novel policy instrument that remunerates power plant operators for storing a minimum amount of energy in reservoirs to convert into electricity when called upon. The policy is envisioned ...
Global energy systems are changing rapidly. This energy transition complicates the use of traditional policy analysis methods. However, proper policy analysis and design is essential in managing the transition. This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approa ...
Technology scaling enables the design of low cost biosignal processing chips suited for emerging wireless body-area sensing applications. Energy consumption severely limits such applications and memories are becoming the energy bottleneck to achieve ultra- ...
