Total Synthesis of (±)-Strictamine

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Weiwu Ren

The total synthesis of strictamine has been achieved in nine steps from a known enol triflate. Characteristic features of our approach included: a) creation of a C7 all-carbon quaternary stereocenter at an early synthetic stage; b) use of an N,N-dimethyl t ...

The future of energy efficient buildings: learning from the past

Changes in building design during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have been largely focussed on driving safety and reducing capital expenditure, with less attention given to improvements in building energy efficiency. However, energy efficiency in ...

Simulation of viscoelastic fluids in a 2D abrupt contraction by spectral element method

Michel Deville, Nicolas Fietier, Azadeh Jafari

This study presents the vortex structure and numerical instability increase occurring when the level of elasticity is enhanced in inertial flows in planar contraction configuration for finitely extensible nonlinear elastic model by Peterlin (FENE-P) fluid ...

The World Health Organization Headquarters in Geneva (1960-1966): how mechanical and electrical services are integral to reading built form

Giulia Marino

The permanent headquarters of the World Health Organizatio, in Geneva, is recognised as one of the major works of Jean Tschumi, who won the international competition in 1960. Shaped by the imposing linear block housing the Secretariat and the Conference Ha ...

Parallel Molecular Dynamics with Irregular Domain Decomposition

The spatial domain of Molecular Dynamics simulations is usually a regular box that be easily divided in subdomains for parallel processing. Recent efforts aimed at simulating complex biological systems, like the blood flow inside arteries, require the exec ...

Innovative Timber Constructions

Yves Weinand

Practical and material orientated academic research has become increasingly important for architectural practice. This is due to several reasons. First of all, it contributes to contemporary concepts in architecture and improves their implementation. Today ...

Origami - geometry of folded plate structures

Yves Weinand, Hans Ulrich Buri

This research proposes new methods to generate rapidly complex folded plate structures that can be built with cross laminated timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controll ...

Iterative geometric design for architecture

Ivo Stotz

This work investigates on computer aided integrated architectural design and production. The aim is to provide integral solutions for the design and the production of geometrically complex free-form architecture. Investigations on computer aided geometric ...

Multiscale modelling of urban climate

Adil Rasheed

Climate has a direct impact on cities' energy flows due to the space conditioning (heating, cooling) needs of the buildings accommodated. This impact may be reinforced due to climate change and to the (so called) urban heat island effect. The corresponding ...
