Existing research on user’s satisfaction at the workplace have shown that occupants’ perceived comfort depends on a number of environmental and non-environmental factors and that forgiveness, meant as the indulgent attitude towards inadequate indoor enviro ...
In this work a high precision capacitive moisture sensor for polymers was designed and fabricated. The device is part of a compact, fast, and economic moisture analyzer capable of reaching a similar precision than commercial moisture analyzers based on the ...
Biodiversity patterns are governed by landscape structure and dispersal strategies of residing organisms. Landscape, however, changes, and dispersal strategies evolve with it. It is unclear how these biological and geomorphological changes interplay to aff ...
The hierarchy of channel networks in landscapes displays features that are characteristic of nonequilibrium complex systems. Here we show that a sequence of increasingly complex ridge and valley networks is produced by a system of partial differential equa ...
Climate change threatens biodiversity and species distribution all over the world at unprecedented rates. Human induced changes to landscape structure and habitat are redefining the relation between species and their environment. Understanding, characteriz ...
Today, institutionalised discourses surrounding heritage have social and physical impacts, with the potential to lead to a break between inhabitants' collective memory of popular neighbourhoods, and their transforming territories. In this context, the acti ...

For communicating over mid-to-long-reach electrical links at a data-rate above 56Gb/s, ADC-based receiver (RX) has become a dominant architecture due to its strong equalization capability using complex digital signal processing algorithm benefiting from th ...
