The neighborhood environment and its association with the spatio-temporal footprint of tobacco consumption and changes in smoking-related behaviors in a Swiss urban area

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder

This study aimed to evaluate the association of the neighborhood environment with the spatio-temporal dependence of tobacco consumption and changes in smoking-related behaviors in a Swiss urban area. Data were obtained from the CoLaus cohort (2003-2006, 20 ...

Spatio-Temporal Estimation of Renewable Energy Potential in Built Environments using Big Data

Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, governments around the world must shift to renewable energy (RE) to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions within the next 10-30 years. The development of effective strategies for RE integratio ...

Transparent composite nano-fibre based multi-layer textile

Klaus Benedikt Schönenberger, Thierry Pelet

A composite multi-layer textile (1), comprising at least one nanofibre layer (11) with nanofibres with diameters below 100nm and one support layer (12) with microfibres with diameters below three microns, wherein the layers (11, 12) were produced by electr ...

Reviewing the application of machine learning methods to model urban form indicators in planning decision support systems : potential, issues and challenges

Jérôme Chenal, Rémi Jaligot

Modern cities dynamically face several challenges including digitalization, sustainability, resilience and economic development. Urban planners and designers must develop urban forms that address these challenges. With the integration of new communication ...

Urban living, mobility & health – the future of our cities

Anna Karla De Almeida Milani

The Covid-19 pandemic brought to light the social inequalities and exposed frailties in the access to certain fundamental human rights, such as access to health and mobility. The type of housing, sanitation level, mobility, and urban structures play an ess ...

Climate resilient interconnected infrastructure: Co-optimization of energy systems and urban morphology

Kavan Javanroodi, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik

Co-optimization of urban morphology and distributed energy systems is key to curb energy consumption and optimally exploit renewable energy in cities. Currently available optimization techniques focus on either buildings or energy systems, mostly neglectin ...

Exploring the relationship between urban form and land surface temperature (LST) in a semi-arid region Case study of Ben Guerir city - Morocco

Jérôme Chenal

Surface temperature is one of the critical factors used to study microclimate conditions through Land surface Temperature (LST), a widely used data source. This paper tests a classification approach using moderate spatial satellite resolution images to ext ...

Urban cells: Extending the energy hub concept to facilitate sector and spatial coupling

Kavan Javanroodi, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Yi Wang

The rapid growth of urban areas and concerns over climate change make it vital to improve the energy sustainability of cities. Understanding the complex interactions within different sectors (sectoral) and localities (spatial) of cities plays a crucial rol ...

Geometry of the Loss Landscape in Overparameterized Neural Networks: Symmetries and Invariances

Wulfram Gerstner, Clément Hongler, Johanni Michael Brea, Francesco Spadaro, Berfin Simsek, Arthur Jacot

We study how permutation symmetries in overparameterized multi-layer neural networks generate `symmetry-induced' critical points. Assuming a network with
