Taking the criteria of sustainability into account in the design process involves interactive optimization between the environmental, socio-cultural and economic criteria of the project. As the principle climatic interface and an important architectural co ...
The present logic of built environment dispersion appears incompatible with the concept of sustainable development. The peripheral expansion of cities is indeed leading to irrational use of ground, growing environmental impact and important infrastructure ...
This paper presents a low-voltage low-power high-speed superregenerative receiver operating in the 2.4-GHz industrial-scientific-medical band. The receiver uses an architecture in which, thanks to the presence of a phase-locked loop, the quench oscillator ...
Considerable potential exists for reducing life cycle environmental impacts of buildings in Japan. While energy consumption during the operation stage of a building's lifetime is usually dominant, indirect energy use and pollutant emissions associated with ...
This article presents a method aimed at tracking energy saving opportunities in the food-processing industry through a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. On the one hand, the top-down modelling method aims at correlating the measured energy ...
Visual capabilities recovery for some kind of illness is possible through subretinal implantable device stimulation. Two possible architectures for retinal pixel are proposed, fabricated in 0.35mum CMOS and compared, including evaluation of electronic resp ...
A future fusion reactor will use deuterium and tritium as fuel. The former is found in abundance in seawater, while the latter is not available naturally due to its short lifetime. Present developments in the context of fusion propose generating tritium in ...
This paper presents a method combining a top-down and a bottom-up approach, which has been developed to track energy saving opportunities. The top-down modelling method aims at correlating the energy consumption with the final products and the auxiliaries ...
Providing our society with goods and services contributes to a wide range of environmental impacts. Waste generation, emissions and the consumption of resources occur at many stages in a product's life cycle-from raw material extraction, energy acquisition ...
This paper defines a set of indicators for distinguishing housing affordability problems resulting from high rents from those chiefly arising from low income. In place of the common ratio of rent to income, it uses a residual income indicator with indicato ...
