Heat demand estimation for different building types at regional scale considering building parameters and urban topography

François Maréchal, Jessen Page, Nils Christian Schüler, Alexandre Suzanne Jean-Marie Bertrand

This study aims towards an improved estimation of annual heat demand of the building stock for an entire region. This requires the holistic representation of aspects influencing the heat demand of buildings, namely their geometry, fabric, users and surroun ...

Science and Engineering Ph.D. Students’ Career Outcomes, by Gender

Fabiana Visentin, Annamaria Conti

We examine differences in the careers of men and women Ph.D.s from two major European universities. Having performed regression analysis, we find that women are more likely than men to be employed in public administration when the alternatives are either a ...

The sensitivity of predicted energy use to urban geometrical factors in various climates

Marilyne Andersen, Émilie Nault, Parag Rastogi

Urban morphology, including building typology and layout, has a significant influence on the built environment’s access to the sun, which impacts its energy exchange with the environment. This energy exchange is a strong factor in determining the comfort l ...

Accuracy and Precision of Head Motion Information in Multi-Channel Free Induction Decay Navigators for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Tobias Kober, Michael Herbst

Free induction decay (FID) navigators were found to qualitatively detect rigid-body head movements, yet it is unknown to what extent they can provide quantitative motion estimates. Here, we acquired FID navigators at different sampling rates and simultaneo ...

Geography of Moral Intuitions

Shin Alexandre Koseki

The geography of “culture-war” is usually addressed as the expression of religious, socio-economical, ethnically and historical divides that characterise territorial constructs. In recent research trends, psychologists suggest this culture-war divisions re ...

Probabilistic approach for fatigue evaluation of welded connections with application to road steel bridges

Luca D'Angelo

Fatigue analysis of steel bridges asks for consideration of welded joints. Traditional fatigue analysis of welded joints under variable amplitude loadings is based on the nominal stress approach, wherein constant amplitude (CA) S-N curves are used in combi ...

Predicting ambient aerosol thermal–optical reflectance measurements from infrared spectra: elemental carbon

Satoshi Takahama

Elemental carbon (EC) is an important constituent of atmospheric particulate matter because it absorbs solar radiation influencing climate and visibility and it adversely affects human health. The EC measured by thermal methods such as thermal-optical refl ...

A new model for TBM performance prediction in blocky rock conditions

Jian Zhao, Andrea Delisio

The term "blocky rock conditions" is generally associated with face instabilities in blocky/jointed rock masses. These events are generally promoted by unfavorable rock mass structural conditions, in terms of joint frequency and orientation, and acting str ...

Investigating the Monthly Mean Stream Temperature Dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Bettina Schaefli, Aurélien Gallice

Affecting the habitat suitability of many fish species, water temperature is a hydrological factor of great concern in the actual context of climate change. Despite more than 40 years of research on this topic, the impact of landscape on the dynamics of st ...

Estimation of Space-Time Varying Parameters Using a Diffusion LMS Algorithm

Ali H. Sayed

We study the problem of distributed adaptive estimation over networks where nodes cooperate to estimate physical parameters that can vary over both space and time domains. We use a set of basis functions to characterize the space-varying nature of the para ...
