Due to the large waste of heat in the power and industrial sectors, our use of energy is inefficient. Moreover, it relies on rapidly depleting and greenhouse-gas-emitting sources such as fossil fuels. While the scarcity of energy resources is a relevant so ...
A tradition of scholarship discusses the characteristics of different areas of knowledge, in particular after modern academia compartmentalized them into disciplines. The academic approach is often put to question: are there two or more cultures? Is an eve ...
Gait assessments in standardized settings, as part of the clinical follow-up of children with cerebral palsy (CP), may not represent gait in daily life. This study aimed at comparing gait characteristics in laboratory and real life settings on the basis of ...
This contribution puts the spotlight on participation of heterogeneous actors and diverse forms of expertise in knowledge production and its implications for governance of complex problems. With regard to tackling complex ‘global’ problems, multifaceted de ...
This innovative project addresses the issue of users’ participation towards urban development and policies. It is through a transdisciplinary action research that we plan to investigate this issue. Our intention is to develop a community-based methodology ...
Over the last few decades, lab on a chip technologies have emerged as powerful tools for high-accuracy diagnosis with minute quantities of liquid and as tools for exploring cell properties in general. In this paper, we present a review of the current statu ...
Although many methods have been developed to detect walking by using body-worn inertial sensors, their performances decline when gait patterns become abnormal, as seen in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to evaluate if fine-tuni ...
With the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) expiring in 2020, the EU needs to revisit its energy technology policy for the post-2020 horizon and to establish a policy framework that fosters the achievement of ambitious EU commitments for ...
Low-carbon energy innovation and implementation is essential to combat climate change, promote economic competitiveness, and achieve energy security. Our study of clean energy patenting in the United States is undertaken to elicit fundamental trends and im ...
The research undertaken in the EPFL’s Timber Construction Laboratory aims both to question in depth the relationship between engineering sciences and architectural conception and to expose new facets of this relationship. The IBOIS is firmly integrated in ...
