Demand-side vs. supply-side technology policies: Hidden treatment and new empirical evidence on the policy mix
This paper provides new empirical evidence about the impact of various technological policies upon firmsâ innovative behaviour. We take into consideration the role of policies for innovative activities and we focus on their interaction. While supply-side ...
2015Unweaving the human response in daylighting design
Daylighting as a research topic situates itself at the interface between psycho-physiological and environmental factors, bringing together questions relevant to architectural design and building engineering, but also to human physiology and behavior. While ...
Elsevier2015Thermal stability and in situ SiN passivation of InAlN/GaN high electron mobility heterostructures
Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Marcel Py, Lorenzo Lugani
We investigate the thermal stability of nearly lattice-matched InAlN layers under metal organic vapor phase epitaxy conditions for temperatures >800 degrees C and show that they are not fully stable. In particular, InAlN top layers undergo degradation duri ...
Amer Inst Physics2014Impact properties of shear thickening fluid impregnated foams
Véronique Michaud, Mathieu Soutrenon
Concentrated colloidal suspensions of silica particles in polyethylene glycol exhibit a shear thickening behavior: above a critical shear rate in a confined environment, they show a steep increase of viscosity. This reversible transition from a low to a hi ...
Institute of Physics2014Impact du processus d'urbanisation sur la connectivité fonctionnelle et la diversité génétique dans les agglomérations genevoise et marseillaise
Durant les dernières décennies, la croissance démographique a entraîné une large intensification de l’urbanisation et une évolution des pratiques agricoles, souvent au détriment des zones (semi-) naturelles. Cette modification des paysages a un effet néfas ...
2014The structure of the asteroid 4 Vesta as revealed by models of planet-scale collisions
Asteroid 4 Vesta seems to be a major intact protoplanet, with a surface composition similar to that of the HED (howardite-eucrite-diogenite) meteorites(1-4). The southern hemisphere is dominated by a giant impact scar(5), but previous impact models(6-8) ha ...
Nature Publishing Group2013Deployment of a dynamic penetrometer from manned submersibles for fine-scale geomorphology studies
David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Nicolas Le Dantec
Dynamic penetrometers reveal information about seafloor strength, stratification, stability, and sediment remobilization. However, positioning is often limited to a range of meters making it difficult to target small-scale geomorphologic features. Deployme ...
