The adjoints of the GEOS-Chem Chemical Transport Model and a comprehensive cloud droplet parameterization are coupled to study the sensitivity of cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) over US regions and Central Europe to global emissions of a ...
This paper has been prepared for the Global Agenda Council of the World Economic Forum. It addresses the issue of the shift toward reduced entrepreneurial dynamism in Europe as well as in the United States. The paper starts from a few insights about “the d ...
In the last years we have been witness of the innovation of the building sector that it is trying to improve buildings behaviour in order to save energy and optimize the use of renewable sources. It is a necessary step considering that buildings consume mo ...
The Proceedings of EUROCK 2010 is a collection of 6 keynotes and 193 technical papers accepted by the symposium. As an annual European regional event of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), EUROCK has been a major exchange and discussion pl ...
This paper presents a review of the high altitude EMP (HEMP) activities in European countries between 1970 and 1995. HEMP simulators built in different countries are presented together with measurements performed under them and calculation methods develope ...

Free cooling, i.e., directly using outside cold air and/or water to cool down datacenters, can provide significant power savings of datacenters. However, due to the limited cooling capability, which is tightly coupled with climate conditions, free cooling ...
Europe is perceived to be lagging behind the US in converting its academic results into economic outcomes. Using new survey data on European and US technology transfer offices (TTOs), we find that differences in academic research, TTO staff and experience ...
We analyse the structural changes that have characterised the organisation of industrial R&D over the last 25 years. Taking Mowery's work (Industrial and Corporate Change, 2009, 18(1), 1-50) on the US as a starting point, we reconsider the different aspect ...
The benefits of the use of energy storage means for traction vehicles has been demonstrated for many years, as well in academic research as in industrial prototypes. Today, the well developed storage equipments are coming in commercial vehicles and first e ...
Current seismic risk evaluations are mostly based on approximate vulnerability curves. Damage prediction is improved by considering structural characteristics of building. Such improved fragility functions do not exist for many structures, especially in co ...
