Although the ocean is investigated by many scientific fields, research about ocean space is scarce. But energy production, extraction of resources, infrastructural and logistical development is increasing incrementally, resulting in a quantum shift in scal ...
In the power generation sector, substituting fossil-fuels with near-zero carbon alternatives is one viable option identified for curbing CO2 emissions. Solar energy is one such alternative and it's valued for being inexhaustible in nature. This study exami ...

We address the multicriterion optimization of utility plants with economic and environmental concerns. Rather than optimizing a single environmental metric, which was the traditional approach followed in the past, we focus on optimizing these systems consi ...
Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) hold the potential to constitute a real game changer for our understanding of urban air pollution, through a significant augmentation of spatial resolution in measurement. However, temporal drift, crosssensitivity and ...
Currently implants or tissue replacements are inserted either as a whole implant or by injecting a liquid which polymerizes to form a solid implant at the appropriate location. This is either highly invasive or not controllable. We developed a tool to perf ...
The objective of this contribution is to demonstrate the capacity of architecture to be a major factor of development on the specific site of the Aiguille du Goûter refuge, against the risks, both, environmental and human, caused by the severe overcrowding ...
Underground space provides an opportunity to increase city compactness and pedestrian accessibility through the overlapping of activities in urban areas. The potential for development is not homogeneous throughout an urban area but depends on variations in ...
For more than a century, it has been recognized that our genetic inheritance and our environment interact to shape who we are and how we act (nature vs. nurture), and the study of genetics has allowed us to explain why traits can vary dramatically betwee ...
Disentangling the mechanisms mediating the coexistence of habitat specialists and generalists has been a long-standing subject of investigation. However, the roles of species traits and environmental and spatial factors have not been assessed in a unifying ...
Chydorus sphaericus, a cladoceran characterized by a wide range of distribution, is often numerous in various water habitats. Its body size is a consequence of environmental characteristics and physiology. The aim of the study focused on the distribution o ...
