On Multiphysical Couplings in Energy Geotechnics: Relevance and Applications

Alessio Ferrari

Energy Geotechnics includes several applications related to the recovery and storage of energy from and into the ground, energy transportation, and the management of waste and carbon dioxide generated from energy use. These applications often involve the n ...

Social life of campus public spaces: Experimental study on the role of temporary interventions in fostering social activity

Ankita Singhvi, Kazuki Sakamoto

Our experimental study built on a tradition of quantitative urbanism, updating it to reflect recent developments in computer vision. We used cameras to track an area of Avenue Piccard in its current state, then intervened with temporary furniture such as o ...

Reinforcement Learning for proactive operation of residential energy systems by learning stochastic occupant behavior and fluctuating solar energy: Balancing comfort, hygiene and energy use

François Maréchal, Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

When it comes to residential buildings, there are several stochastic parameters, such as renewable energy production, outdoor air conditions, and occupants’ behavior, that are hard to model and predict accurately, with some being unique in each specific bu ...

2022

Jammed, disordered packings of given sets of particles possess a multitude of equilibrium states with different mechanical properties. Identifying and constructing desired states, e.g., of superior stability, is a complex task. Here, we show that in two-di ...

PlaceNet: A multi-scale semantic-aware model for visual loop closure detection

Hussein Fadl Hassan Hassan Osman

Loop closure detection helps simultaneous localization and mapping systems reduce map and state uncertainty via recognizing previously visited places along the path of a mobile robot. However, visual loop closure detection is susceptible to scenes with dyn ...

Robust Learning Model Predictive Control for Periodically Correlated Building Control

Colin Neil Jones, Yingzhao Lian, Jicheng Shi

Accounting for more than 40% of global energy consumption, residential and commercial buildings will be key players in any future green energy systems. To fully exploit their potential while ensuring occupant comfort, a robust control scheme is required to ...

Quantifying the impacts of climate change and extreme climate events on energy systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik

Climate induced extreme weather events and weather variations will affect both the demand of energy and the resilience of energy supply systems. The specific potential impact of extreme events on energy systems has been difficult to quantify due to the unp ...

A rare condition: Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage due to spinal hemangioblastoma: Report of 2 cases and review of the literature

Introduction. - Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), secondary to spinal hemangioblastoma (HBL), is extremely rare, with only a few case reports to date. We report the experience of our reference centre for spinal tumours and Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease in ...

Systematic Integration of Energy-Optimal Buildings With District Networks

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Paul Michael Stadler, Raluca-Ancuta Suciu

The residential sector accounts for a large share of worldwide energy consumption, yet is difficult to characterise, since consumption profiles depend on several factors from geographical location to individual building occupant behaviour. Given this diffi ...
