Comparative approach of the environmental impact induced by different architectural visions of a new periurban neighbourhood

Sophie Lufkin, Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Martine Laprise

The objective of this research work is to compare the environmental impact, expressed in terms of non-renewable cumulative energy demand (CEDnr) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, of nine architectural visions for a new neighbourhood located in the periur ...

Offshore Utility Systems for FPSOs: A Techno-Environomic Assessment Considering the Uncertainty About the Natural Gas Price

Due to restricted weight and space budget on floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO), the offshore utility systems have been limited to low-efficiency energy technologies. Moreover, owing to time-varying energy demands of the FPSOs, the ex ...

Basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies in large lakes: A novel procedure for their detection and characterization, assessed in Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Mehrshad Foroughan

In large lakes subject to the Coriolis force, basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies, i.e. rotating coherent water masses, play a key role in spreading biochemical materials and energy throughout the lake. In order to assess the spatial and temporal extent ...
