A Framework for Measuring Urban Sprawl from Crowd-Sourced Data
The amount of people living in cities by 1800 was roughly around 3 percent of the world population. This number has increased dramatically during the last centuries, and currently it is estimated that one out of two people lives in cities. Furthermore, acc ...
2016Morfología urbana Mediterránea
The city is a very complex system in which many parameters converge. The large number of these parameters greatly hinders not only an accurate analysis of all of them, but also the assessment of the phenomena that occur in the city and its impact on the en ...
2016Environomic design of hybrid electric vehicles
François Maréchal, Zlatina Kirilova Dimitrova
The improvement of the efficiency of vehicle energy systems promotes an active search to find innovative solutions during the design process. Engineers can use computer-aided processes to find automatically the best design solutions. This kind of approach ...
University of Ljubljana2016Next-Generation Sequencing of Aquatic Oligochaetes: Comparison of Experimental Communities
Aquatic oligochaetes are a common group of freshwater benthic invertebrates known to be very sensitive to environmental changes and currently used as bioindicators in some countries. However, more extensive application of oligochaetes for assessing the eco ...
Public Library of Science2016Study on the bio-functionalization of memristive nanowires for optimum memristive biosensors
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino, Ioulia Tzouvadaki
Semiconductor nanowires are emerging as promising building blocks for biosensors enabling direct electrical detection of various biomolecules. In this framework, two-terminal Schottky-barrier silicon (Si) nanowire arrays that exhibit memristive electrical ...
2016Sustainable policy—key considerations for air quality and climate change
Air quality and climate change are inexorably linked from theiremission sources to their impacts on climate, human health, andecosystems, including agriculture. However, in globalenvironmental change and sustainability policies the linkbetween air quality ...
2016A preliminary study on the sensitivity of people to visual and thermal parameters in office environments
Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo
The evaluation of indoor comfort requires a thorough understanding of how human occupants perceive four indoor environmental factors: visual conditions, air quality, acoustic ambience and thermal conditions. Recent studies have found that overall comfort i ...
2016Open design of a fixed probe for water quality monitoring in rivers and lakes
This bachelor project work aims to set up a prototype measurement station in the Sorge (a small river near the EPFL) to collect some data about the water and the environmental conditions. And also make the work reproducible so that someone, somewhere else ...
2016LCA as key factor for implementation of inertia in a low carbon performance driven design: the case of the smart living building in Fribourg, Switzerland
Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha, Arianna Brambilla
The building sector is known as a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption. These impacts are commonly evaluated by life cycle assessment (LCA), which assess the potential impacts of a building from the construction to the ...
2016Assessing the impact of contemporary urbanization on bioclimatic features of historic architecture through a two-step simulation process
Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle, Parag Rastogi, Hélène Yvette Claudine Monari, Guillaume Charles Johan Rouff soit Rueff
The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic understanding, through simulation-based assessment, of how contemporary urban planning affects the bioclimatic features of existing historic architecture. An emblematic early 20th century Brazilian building, ...
