The project "Citizen Bench" aimed a better understanding of the variety of urban seating-needs. This report summarises the results of the citizen engagement project on public benches in the City of Munich. In the framework of this pilot project, a method ...
The destructive impact of the construction industry on the planet and its inhabitants is no longer in question. Global warming, waste management, depletion of natural resources, air and soil pollution are all issues that must be urgently addressed. They ar ...
To ensure the long-term sustainable use of African Great Lakes (AGL), and to better understand the func-tioning of these ecosystems, authorities, managers and scientists need regularly collected scientific data and information of key environmental indicato ...
Machine intelligence greatly impacts almost all domains of our societies. It is profoundly changing the field of mechanical engineering with new technical possibilities and processes. The education of future engineers also needs to adapt in terms of techni ...
A central air bubble is observed to be maintained during the process of an elastic hemi-sphere impacting on a smooth rigid surface. The similar phenomenon has been found in droplet impact in other studies. The effect of air gap between the two solids has b ...
Before a droplet can contact a surface during impact, it must first displace the air beneath it. Over a wide range of impact velocities, the droplet first squeezes the air into a thin film, enhancing its resistance to drainage; this slows the progress of t ...
In this thesis, I aim to contribute to the research towards improving the sustainability of habitat life in streams affected by anthropogenic activities. With the growing trend of altering natural water regimes due to hydropower operations, irrigation, and ...
Aerosol and trace gas measurements are strongly affected by the ship exhaust and other human activities (e.g., helicopter flights). Therefore, it is important to discriminate between clean and polluted periods. This mask provides an indication of clean per ...
Benzene is a toxic contaminant and can harm many aquatic species and cause serious damages to the river eco-system, if released to rivers. In 2012, a major spill accident occurred on the Huaihe River in Eastern China with 3 tons of benzene released to the ...
Depending on their characteristics and management, man-made reservoirs can have a significant impact on the natural sediment continuity of rivers. We classify different reservoir types and describe potential risks for the dam and downstream river reach. Ou ...
