Indoor air quality in swiss primary schools: impacts of mechanical ventilation and seasonal variation

Dusan Licina, Joan Frédéric Rey, Bowen Du

Indoor air quality (IAQ) in classrooms significantly impacts the comfort, health, and cognitive performance of students and teachers. The COVID-19 pandemic heightened awareness of IAQ, leading to increasing adoption of mechanical ventilation systems in sch ...

Techno-economic evaluation of biogas-fed SOFC systems with novel biogas purification and carbon capture technologies

Gianluca Monticone, Jan Van Herle, Hangyu Yu

Small-scale biogas-fed solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems, integrated with carbon capture storage (CCS) technologies, offer a sustainable solution for European farms’ heat and power demands with minimal carbon emissions. This study investigates different ...

Regionalisation in high share renewable energy system modelling

François Maréchal, Jonas Schnidrig, Tuong-Van Nguyen

Governments are setting ambitious targets to tackle the issue of global warming by switching to renewable energy sources and reducing CO2 -emissions. For example, as announced in November 2020, Canada aims to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Large c ...

Accounting for foliar gradients in Vc(max) and J(max) improves estimates of net CO2 exchange of forests

Christoph Bachofen

Vertical gradients in the canopy represent a major challenge for scaling from foliar photosynthesis to ecosystem-level CO2 fluxes. We tested whether accounting for independent gradients of carboxylation capacity (Vc(max)) and photosynthetic electron transp ...

Effects of illuminance intensity on the green channel of remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) signals

Ata Jedari Golparvar

Point-of-care remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) devices that utilize low-cost RGB cameras have drawn considerable attention due to their convenience in contactless and non-invasive vital signs monitoring. In rPPG, sufficient lighting conditions are essent ...

Measured greenhouse gas budgets challenge emission savings from palm-oil biodiesel

Thomas Guillaume

The potential of palm-oil biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared with fossil fuels is increasingly questioned. So far, no measurement-based GHG budgets were available, and plantation age was ignored in Life Cycle Analyses (LCA). Here, w ...

Essential role of oxygen vacancies of Cu-Al and Co-Al spinel oxides in their catalytic activity for the reverse water gas shift reaction

Ursula Röthlisberger, Jeremy Luterbacher, Oliver Kröcher, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Christophe Jean Baranowski, Murat Kiliç

CO2 catalytic hydrogenation to CO will likely be an important part of CO2 mitigation and valorization processes. Recently, we have developed materials containing surface-formed Cu-Al spinel that act as active and stable catalysts for this reaction. Here, t ...

Metabolic cost calculations of gait using musculoskeletal energy models, a comparison study

Anne Daniëlle Koelewijn

This paper compares predictions of metabolic energy expenditure in gait using seven metabolic energy expenditure models to assess their correlation with experimental data. Ground reaction forces, marker data, and pulmonary gas exchange data were recorded f ...

CO2-mitigation options for the offshore oil and gas sector

François Maréchal, Laurence Tock, Tuong-Van Nguyen

The offshore extraction of oil and gas is an energy-intensive process leading to the production of CO2 and methane, discharged into the atmosphere, and of chemicals, rejected into the sea. The taxation of these emissions, in Norway, has encouraged the deve ...
