The amount of people living in cities by 1800 was roughly around 3 percent of the world population. This number has increased dramatically during the last centuries, and currently it is estimated that one out of two people lives in cities. Furthermore, acc ...
Haptic feedback located on the torso is proposed to enhance the state awareness of a user in virtual reality or during teleoperation while leaving the hands free for manipulation and communication. We provide haptic feedback on the torso by compressing a s ...
Development of practical systems for photoelectrochem. conversion of solar energy to chem. fuel requires light absorbers that are efficient, durable, and scalable. Because no material currently meets all three requirements, intensive semiconductor discover ...
Complex fenestration systems (CFS) designed to collect and redirect daylight from the sky-vault are generally placed on the upper part of a window in order to improve the distribution of indoor daylight. Due to their additional function as solar protection ...
This book examines trends and challenges in research on IT governance in public organizations, reporting innovative research and new insights in the theories, models and practices within the area. As we noticed, IT governance plays an important role in gen ...
This paper presents an investigation into the ultimate behavior of a recently developed design for keyed shear connections. The influence of the key depth on the failure mode and ductility of the connection has been studied by push-off tests. The tests sho ...
Soft tissue artefact (STA) represents one of the main obstacles for obtaining accurate and reliable skeletal kinematics from motion capture. Many studies have addressed this issue, yet there is no consensus on the best available bone pose estimator and the ...
Extending a result of Caffarelli, we provide global Lipschitz changes of variables between compactly supported perturbations of log-concave measures. The result is based on a combination of ideas from optimal transportation theory and a new Pogorelov-type ...
Housing size is a key variable in determining the environmental footprint of residential buildings. Besides the environmental aspect, housing size is the result of residential decisions made by households, which are influenced by the interplay of factors o ...
This paper analyses and compares different policy scenarios as well as discusses price elasticities and willingness to pay and to accept using revealed preference data from the French new-car market in 2014 by means of a cross-nested logit (CNL) model. We ...
