Application of the cost-optimal methodology to urban renewal projects at the territorial scale based on statistical data—A case study in Spain

As tomorrow’s cities are already largely built, many strategies stress the importance of urban renewalprocesses to address current energy issues. This paper focuses on the Spanish residential building stockbuilt until 2001, which has a low level of energy ...

Defect Healing and Charge Transfer-Mediated Valley Polarization in MoS2/MoSe2/MoS2 heterostructures

Andras Kis, Dumitru Dumcenco, Yen-Cheng Kung, Alessandro Surrente

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are plagued by a significantly lower optical quality compared to exfoliated TMDCs. In this work, we show that the optical quality of CVD-grown MoSe2 is completely r ...

The Value Of Employee Retention: Evidence From A Natural Experiment

Kenneth Younge

We estimate the firm-level returns to retaining employees using difference-in-differences analysis and a natural experiment where the enforcement of employee noncompete agreements was inadvertently reversed in Michigan. We find that noncompete enforcement ...

The total benefit of alternative assets to pension fund portfolios

Anna Slavutskaya

Pension funds only quite recently have explored alternative assets, prodded by financial crises that devastated equity returns and led to low bond returns. We assess the addition of alternative assets to pension fund portfolios in terms of the total benefi ...

New method for lateral mapping of bimolecular recombination in thin-film organic solar cells

Wolfgang Richard Tress

The best organic solar cells are limited by bimolecular recombination. Tools to study these losses are available; however, they are only developed for small area (laboratory-scale) devices and are not yet available for large area (production-scale) devices ...

Projection onto the Manifold of Elongated Structures for Accurate Extraction

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Amos Sironi

Detection of elongated structures in 2D images and 3D image stacks is a critical prerequisite in many applications and Machine Learning-based approaches have recently been shown to deliver superior performance. However, these methods essentially classify i ...

Are We Modular Lying Cues Detectors? The Answer Is "Yes, Sometimes"

Christine Mohr, Amer Chamseddine, Vladimir Kopta, Mathieu Arminjon, Aleksandar Paunovic

We quickly form first impressions about newly encountered people guiding our subsequent behaviour (approach, avoidance). Such instant judgments might be innate and automatic, being performed unconsciously and independently to other cognitive processes. Lyi ...

Asymmetry in Size-Segregation Rates.

Christophe Ancey, Gaël Epely Chauvin, Kasper van der Vaart

We show experimentally and by comparison with theory that during particle size-segregation in a sheared granular flow large particles rise slower in regions of many small particles and small particles sink faster in regions of many large particles. Binary ...

Thinking too positive? Revisiting current methods of population genetic selection inference

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Claudia Bank, Gregory Bruce Ewing

In the age of next-generation sequencing, the availability of increasing amounts and improved quality of data at decreasing cost ought to allow for a better understanding of how natural selection is shaping the genome than ever before. However, alternative ...

Snow avalanche hazard prediction and warning procedure in the Arctic environment

Anaëlle Kaufmann

A growing population in Svalbard, reflecting an increase in scientific research and tourism, leads to an increasing amount of people exposed to avalanche danger. Consequently, there is a growing interest for a local avalanche warming procedure. The goal of ...
