Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Developing food packaging applications based on materials from renewable resources, such as biobased plastics, is considered as potential solution to reduce the environmental impacts of packaging. While each specific industry applies the Life Cycle Assessm ...

In this paper, the low-energy impact behavior of a fully biobased composite made of bio-sourced polyamide 11 resin reinforced with flax fibers was investigated. Different composite laminates were studied in order to determine the stacking sequence effects ...
We propose a low-power image sensor with a motion-based triggering feature for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The sensor supports the near-pixel [within analog-to-digital converter (ADC)] motion-detection mode run on a heavily subsampled frame ...
Smart health monitoring devices, known as Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSN) are transforming today's health-care landscape, shifting it from traditional hospital-based methods toward more personalized approaches. Their demand is ever-increasing in the mode ...
Purpose Rare earth elements (REEs) are among the most critical raw materials with a high supply risk. Despite their criticality, REEs are not covered by any resource Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) Methods. The main purpose of the current study is to t ...
Huge amount of energy resources greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is devoted to the built environment. Therefore, an accurate assessment method of these indicators is compulsory. To take advantage of the temporal variation in the primary energy use and associ ...
The current climate change is calling for a drastic reduction of energy demand as well as of greenhouse gases. Besides this, cities also need to adapt to face the challenges related to climate change. Cities, with their complex urban texture and fabric, ca ...
