The topic of the here presented work is the influence of firms on climate policy. This thesis analyses the impact of firms’ influence on the acceptance of climate policy, its effectiveness, and implementation. Hereby, the mediation of private interest is u ...
A new procedure for benchmarking analysis has been developed to evaluate the energy efficiency of a chemical process. Benchmarking is performed to identify process inefficiencies before developing energy enhancement measures. The new procedure combines typ ...
This paper concentrates on the characterization of the heat flow present during flame cutting of 60 mm thick steel (S355N) flanges, a typical size used in the fabrication of bridge girders. Experimental results are associated with a finite element analysis ...
A process for producing a metal article containing at least 10% interconnected porosity, using a preform (11), comprising: mixing an organic binder, a wetting agent and a granular material, to obtain a mouldable paste that combines 10 vol. pct. or more of ...
Honeybees swarm when they move to a new site for their hive. During the process of swarming, their behavior can be analyzed by classifying them as informed bees or uninformed bees, where the informed bees have some information about the destination while t ...
Domain language model (LM) adaptation consists in re-estimating probabilities of a baseline LM to better match the peculiarities of a given broad topic of interest. To do so, a yet common strategy consists in retrieving adaptation texts from the Web based ...
The intent of this Design Guide is to introduce the topic of sustainability, present its elements, and explain how it affects the design of lighting in process and product. This document is structured into two major sections. Section 1.0 introduces sustain ...
The aim of this work is to increase the efficiency of industrial processes by using pinch analysis and process design methods. The main goals are the reduction of energy consumption, of the corresponding operating costs and of CO2 emissions. In this contex ...

Among all classes of faults, Byzantine faults form the most general modeling of value faults. Traditionally, in the Byzantine fault model, faults are statically attributed to a set of up to t processes. This, however, implies that in this model a process a ...
This paper presents a general, practical and operational methodology to improve energy efficiency of processes through a holistic approach. The required methods and tools have been developed based on a systemic approach of process energy integration and en ...
