Interest in plasmonic nanostructures has recently multiplied due to their extraordinary optical properties. When resonantly excited, these tiny metallic systems exhibit a strong and localized optical field enhancement. Applications exploiting this effect e ...
The intensive use of daylight in buildings is beneficial at many levels: it provides sufficient levels of illumination to perform working activities throughout the day and it reduces the use of artificial light, which in turn leads to lower electricity con ...
Daylight is a valuable resource for both energy and human health. However, this resource is often underutilized in buildings due to the difficulty of controlling the changing qualities of daylight. Deep-plan building spaces pose an especially challenging p ...
It is now widely accepted that the standard method for daylighting evaluation - the daylight factor – is due for replacement with metrics founded on absolute values for luminous quantities predicted over the course of a full year using sun and sky conditio ...
The recently developed traffic signal control strategy known as traffic-responsive urban control (TUC) requires availability of a fixed signal plan that is sufficiently efficient under undersaturated traffic conditions. To drop this requirement, the well-k ...
The experiment performed by Bonneville and Escaig, designed for the direct measurement of the activation parameters of cross-slip, has been repeated. A denser initial dislocation forest density is obtained with a higher predeformation stress compared with ...
Several Hall effect sensors were modeled and evaluated regarding the Hall voltage and sensitivity using 3D physical simulations. For accurate results the numerical offset and its temperature drift were analyzed. The versatility of the simulation allows var ...
The research work of this PhD thesis was carried out in the context of an interdisciplinary project related to the study of urban morphogenesis. A team composed of architects and engineers specialized in GIS technologies have worked together in this projec ...
Large-scale simulations of aluminosilicate zeolites were conducted to identify structures that possess large CO2 uptake for postcombustion carbon dioxide capture. In this study, we discovered that the aluminosilicate zeolite structures with the highest CO2 ...
Physical or virtual models are commonly used to visualize the conceptual ideas of architects, lighting designers and researchers; they are also employed to assess the daylighting performance of buildings, particularly in cases where Complex Fenestration Sy ...
