Taking into account the high efficiency of solar thermal collectors and the fact that heating demands represent around 80% of the total energy needs in residential buildings, it is of interest to integrate solar thermal systems to supply HVAC services. How ...
The paper adds to the literature on the barriers to innovation in two ways. First, we assess comparatively what mostly constrains firms' ability to translate investment in innovation activity into new products and processes, whether it is mainly finance, a ...
Most of us would readily subscribe the statement that our planet needs a transition towards a circular economy decoupling raw material use from economic growth. In a circular economy deserving this label, pressure on our earth’s natural resources will defi ...
Recently, some studies examined how downtown parking space limitation re-shapes the morning commute in the case of a single origin-destination network. This paper further formulates and analyses the commuting equilibrium problem of both mode and departure ...
The rapidly growing field of phosphoproteomics has led to a strong demand for procedures enabling fast and reliable isolation and enrichment of phosphorylated proteins and peptides. During the past decade, several novel phosphopeptide enrichment methods ba ...
Fling-step and forward directivity, which can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures, are the main consequences of near-fault earthquakes. Although the adverse effect of forward directivity on structures behavior is determined to some level, the i ...
This thesis investigates methodologies for improving the demand responsiveness of transportation systems through flexibility. The methodologies propose advances both in demand and supply models having a focus on supply-demand interactions. The demand side ...
We analyse deterministic aggregative games, with large but finite number of players, that are subject to both local and coupling constraints. Firstly, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of a generalized Nash equilibrium, by using the theory ...
Existing bridges may have been designed and constructed according to codes without any provisions for seismic design and detailing. Particularly in countries with moderate seismicity, such as Switzerland, modern seismic design standards might have been int ...
Americans work more than Europeans. Using micro-data from the United States and 17 European countries, we document that women are typically the largest contributors to the cross-country differences in work hours. We also show that there is a negative relat ...
