The Rising Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War: Energy Transition, Climate Justice, Global Inequality, and Supply Chain Disruption
This perspective paper explores the rising impacts of the COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war from different perspectives, with an emphasis on the role of climate financing in achieving equitable and just transition mechanisms and that of peace in expediti ...
MDPI2022Nonlinear study on a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved gas bearings: Theory and validation
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner, Philipp Kaspar Bättig, Wanhui Liu
The nonlinear behavior of a rigid rotor supported by herringbone grooved journal gas bearings (HGJBs) was investigated in this study. The two-dimensional narrow groove theory (2D-NGT) was adopted to model the HGJBs. A set of integrated rotor-bearing state ...
2021Simulation of silicon KOH and dry etching methods for micromould fabrication
The purpose of this project is to investigate the suitability of wet etching methods such as KOH etching for silicon micromoulds fabrication. Those moulds are intended for preceramic polymer (PCP) casting and specific requirements regarding the profile of ...
2020Elevated CO2 Leads to Enhanced Photosynthesis but Decreased Growth in Early Life Stages of Reef Building Coralline Algae
Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Michael Kühl
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are key organisms in coral reef ecosystems, where they contribute to reef building and substrate stabilization. While ocean acidification due to increasing CO2 can affect the biology, physiology and ecology of fully developed ...
2019Structural concept and design of a GFRP-polyurethane sandwich roof structure
Thomas Keller, Sonia Yanes Armas
This work presents the concept and structural design of a 1000-m2 glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich roof replacing a timber roof over an indoor swimming pool. The advantages offered by the lightweight, multifunctional GFRP-polyurethane (PUR) s ...
2016Deformation capacity and strength of brick masonry spandrels
In unreinforced masonry (URM) structures vertical walls are connected by horizontal spandrel elements. Spandrels have been subjected to extensive damage during earthquakes and are often the first elements within a URM building to crack or fail. If URM buil ...
2014Elevation-dependent influence of snow accumulation on forest greening
Rising temperatures and declining water availability have influenced the ecological function of mountain forests over the past half-century. For instance, warming in spring and summer and shifts towards earlier snowmelt are associated with an increase in w ...
Nature Publishing Group2012Two-Phase Control of On-Chip Two-Phase Cooling Systems of Servers
John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen
Thermal designers of data centers and server manufacturers are showing a great concern regarding the cooling of new generation data centers, which are more compact and dissipate more power than is currently possible to cool by conventional air conditioning ...
Ieee2012Assessing Digital Surface Models by Verifying Shadows: A Sensor Network Approach
Martin Vetterli, François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Mina Karzand
We propose to use wireless sensor networks to assess the accuracy and application of Digital Surface Models (DSM) for the study of shadowing and solar radiation over the built environment. Using the ability of sensor network data to provide information abo ...
2009Vertical ordering of rods under vertical vibration
Thomas Liebling, Lionel Pournin, Marco Ramaioli
Granular media composed of elongated particles rearrange and order vertically upon vertical vibration. We perform pseudo-two-dimensional discrete element model simulations and show that this phenomenon takes place also with no help from vertical walls. We ...
