When exposed to ionising radiation, living tissue can potentially suffer somatic and genetic damage - effects depending mainly on the radiation dose or energy absorbed, the type of radiation, and the type and mass of cells affected. It is well known that l ...
The consumption of resources within an urban neighbourhood depends on the behaviour of its occupants. To understand the randomness of this behaviour and its effect on the demand of resources calls for the development of a set of stochastic models which are ...
Free surface flows are extremely complex and appear in various cases such as chemistry, oceanography, thermodynamics and turbomachinery. Their complexity is due to the fact that they are composed of two distinct phases which are only separated by a thin in ...
In order to comply with sustainable development policy, the minimum that buildings should achieve are a healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient environment. Criteria for individually assessing each of the many criteria are known: the occupant's perceived ...
Regarding traction systems, new solutions can be proposed today, where energy storage with supercapacitors can offer an easier energy management, together with a strong decrease of the constraints applied to the main energy source of such systems. The ener ...
In the present context of finding ways to decrease CO2 emissions linked with human activity, district energy systems including polygeneration energy conversion technologies are likely to play a major role. District energy systems meet the heating, hot wate ...
We report here measurements of rovibrational levels in the electronic ground state of water at the previously inaccessible energies above 26,000 cm-1. The use of laser double-resonance overtone excitation extends this limit to 34,200 cm-1, which correspond ...
We use infrared-visible double resonance overtone excitation to promote HOCl molecules to single, well-characterized rotational levels of high OH stretching states just above the HOCl-->HO+Cl dissociation threshold on the ground potential energy surface. D ...
High-resolution neutron scattering experiments on optimally doped La2-xSrxCuO4 (x=0.16) reveal that the magnetic excitations are dispersive. The dispersion is the same as in YBa2Cu3O6.85, and is quantitatively related to that observed with charge sensitive ...
We report calculations of the electronic ground state potential energy surface (PES) of hydrogen peroxide covering, in an almost global fashion, all six internal degrees of freedom by two different ab initio techniques. Density functional theory (DFT) calc ...
