International PhD Seminar Post-extraction territories in transition: Designing the socio-ecological transition in post carbon marginal spaces

Paola Viganò, Elena Cogato Lanza, Anna Karla De Almeida Milani

The Seminar proposes a European and transatlantic dialogue around the questions of the social and ecological transition (post-carbon) of marginal spaces, and territories of exploitation as the ancient coal territories on the two sides of the Atlantic. Th ...

Controlling superconductivity of CeIrIn5 microstructures by substrate selection

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Maarten Ruud van Delft, Joshua Alan Wolfe Straquadine

Superconductor/metal interfaces are usually fabricated in heterostructures that join these dissimilar materials. A conceptually different approach has recently exploited the strain sensitivity of heavy-fermion superconductors, selectively transforming regi ...

Increasing carbon-to-phosphorus ratio (C:P) from seston as a prime indicator for the initiation of lake reoligotrophication.

Alfred Johny Wüest

Decline in total phosphorus (TP) during lake reoligotrophication does not apparently immediately influence carbon assimilation or deep-water oxygen levels. Traditional monitoring and interpretation do not typically consider the amount of organic carbon exp ...

Temperature of artificial freshwater recharge significantly affects salinity distributions in coastal confined aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Li Pu

Artificial freshwater recharge is commonly used to mitigate seawater intrusion and restore salinized aquifers in coastal zones. While the temperature of recharged freshwater often differs from that of aquifers, effects of temperature differences on water f ...

Quantifying the technical geothermal potential from shallow borehole heat exchangers at regional scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

The extraction of shallow geothermal energy using borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) is a promising approach for decarbonisation of the heating sector. However, a dense deployment of BHEs may lead to thermal interference between neighboring boreholes and ther ...

Reverse-engineering the locomotion of a stem amniote

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

Reconstructing the locomotion of extinct vertebrates offers insights into their palaeobiology and helps to conceptualize major transitions in vertebrate evolution. However, estimating the locomotor behaviour of a fossil species remains a challenge because ...

Wastewater and green waste biorefinery Degradation of simple sugars using mixed cultures of purple non-sulfur bacteria: an insight into microbial interactions

Guillaume Crosset-Perrotin

Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are phototrophic organisms that have raised interest for both industrial and domestic wastewater treatment and valorization because of their very high assimilation (~1 g CODX g-1 COD substrate) and valuable compounds produ ...

Nuove ecologie alpine: industrializzazione e costruzione della città-territorio

Roberto Sega

This research study offers a reflection on the Alpine urban condition through the observation of the spaces of production. Departing from the premise that the tourist economy cannot be the only possible horizon for Alpine development, this thesis reflects ...
