Using multilayered individual massive data and geo-localization tracking, Computational Social Science and Social Physics attest the importance of face-to-face and place-to-place interactions in shaping human agency. The research suggests that collective a ...
Economic complexity reflects the amount of knowledge that is embedded in the productive structure of an economy. It resides on the premise of hidden capabilities-fundamental endowments underlying the productive structure. In general, measuring the capabili ...

Adaptive structures are defined here as structures capable of counteracting actively the effect of external loads via controlled shape changes and redirection of the internal load path. These structures are integrated with sensors (e.g. strain, vision), co ...
We present the X-Shell pavilion, a lightweight structure composed of elastic beam elements joined in a special layout that allows easy on-site deployment. The structure’s undeployed assembly configuration lies mostly flat and is easy to build, consisting o ...
Dectin-2 is a C-type lectin involved in the recognition of several pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Schistosoma mansonii, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis that triggers Th17 immune responses. Identifying pathogen ligands and underst ...
The study proposes a business model for energy efficiency and provides a tool that describes how manufacturing companies create, deliver and capture value, and at the same time evidencing the energy inefficiencies, wastes and manufacturing performances tha ...
Die deutsche Energiewende gilt als einer der herausforderndsten gesamtgesellschaftlichen Veränderungsprozesse unserer Zeit. Sie zieht einen grundlegenden politischen und ökonomischen Wandel in Deutschland und ganz Europa nach sich. Die fundamentalen Veränd ...
This book is the result of the studio, Territorialism, held in fall 2012 and fall 2013 and taught by Paola Viganò. The studio examined the territorial scale and the form of the territory as a basis to understand the contemporary city and the important modi ...
A fully coupled method for reproducing road vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction is presented in which finite element models are used for the structure, multibody dynamics models for the vehicles and interaction is represented by means of a contact with the ...
Agency is an important aspect of bodily self-consciousness, allowing us to separate own movements from those induced by the environment and to distinguish own movements from those of other agents. Unsurprisingly, theoretical frameworks for agency such as c ...
