A Reuse-Ready Timber Slab-and-Column System for Modular Building Structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Jonas Warmuth, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos, Alex-Manuel Muresan

The construction industry is a significant contributor to resource consumption and waste generation. To address this issue, component reuse has been proposed as a way to prevent valuable building elements from being discarded and avoid producing new ones. ...

Accurate Measurement of Dynamic ON-Resistance in GaN Transistors at Steady-State

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Hongkeng Zhu

Accurate characterization of the dynamic ON-resistance (RON) degradation is important to predict conduction losses for gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs). However, even for the same device, many inconsistent results of dynamic R ...

Improved Cell-Free Transcription-Translation Reactions in Microfluidic Chemostats Augmented with Hydrogel Membranes for Continuous Small Molecule Dialysis

Sebastian Maerkl, Barbora Lavickova, Laura Sophie Grasemann

Increasing the protein production capacity of the PURE cell-free transcription-translation (TX-TL) system will be key to implementing complex synthetic biological circuits, and to establishing a fully self-regenerating system as a basis for the development ...

Systematic extraction of a control-oriented model from perturbative experiments and SOLPS-ITER for emission front control in TCV

Olivier Claude Martin Février, Artur Perek, Mirko Wensing

Systematic extraction of locally valid dynamic models from experiments is necessary for controller design and the validation of high fidelity models. This paper describes the extraction of a dynamic model in the form of a transfer function, giving the dyna ...

Emission reduction by targeted transient operations in three-way catalysts for heavy-duty natural gas applications

Moyu Wang

To curb the severe effects of climate change, our society needs to radically reduce its CO2 footprint. For the heavy-duty sector, where electrification is difficult, alternative fuels can be the solution. Methane-fueled engines have lower energy-specific C ...

Experimental Study on Bedload Transport and Bedforms: Behaviour and Interplay in Steep Turbulent Streams

Ivan Pascal

In mountain regions, steep streams play an important role in water and sediment connectivity. In these highly dynamic systems, water flow features, sediment fluxes and stream morphologies are tightly interlinked over a broad range of temporal and spatial s ...

Heterogeneity in decentralized asset markets

Julien Hugonnier

We study a canonical model of decentralized exchange for a durable good or asset, where agents are assumed to have time-varying, heterogeneous utility types. Whereas the existing literature has focused on the special case of two types, we allow agents' uti ...

Investigating active phase loss from supported ruthenium catalysts during supercritical water gasification

Oliver Kröcher, Frédéric Vogel

Active phase loss mechanisms from Ru/AC catalysts were studied in continuous supercritical water gasification (SCWG) for the first time by analysing the Ru content in process water with low limit-of-detection time-resolved ICP-MS. Ru loss was investigated ...

Homogenization-based design of microstructured membranes: wake flows past permeable shells

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna

A formal framework to characterize and control/optimize the flow past permeable membranes by means of a homogenization approach is proposed and applied to the wake flow past a permeable cylindrical shell. From a macroscopic viewpoint, a Navier-like effecti ...

Adaptive Social Learning

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work proposes a novel strategy for social learning by introducing the critical feature of adaptation. In social learning, several distributed agents update continually their belief about a phenomenon of interest through: i) direct observation of strea ...

Coupling-dependent convergence behavior of phase oscillators with tegotae-control

Auke Ijspeert, Simon Lukas Hauser, Jonathan Patrick Arreguit O'Neill

A bio-inspired way to model locomotion is using a network of coupled phase oscillators to create a Central Pattern Generator (CPG). The recently developed feedback control method tegotae includes exteroceptive force feedback into the governing phase update ...

Diamond diffractive optics-recent progress and perspectives

Niels Quack, Marcell Kristof Kiss, Gergely Huszka, Sichen Mi

Diamond is an exceptional material that has recently seen a remarkable increase in interest in academic research and engineering since high-quality substrates became commercially available and affordable. Exploiting the high refractive index, hardness, las ...

Gramian-Based Adaptive Combination Policies For Diffusion Learning Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski

This paper presents an adaptive combination strategy for distributed learning over diffusion networks. Since learning relies on the collaborative processing of the stochastic information at the dispersed agents, the overall performance can be improved by d ...

Reaction pathways of methane abatement in Pd-Rh three-way catalyst in heavy duty applications: A combined approach based on exhaust analysis, model gas reactor and DRIFTS measurements

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Moyu Wang

Methane abatement pathways in Pd/Rh three-way catalysts have been investigated in three scales ranging from a vehicle application size catalyst, a model gas reactor and the catalyst in powder form. A special test rig was designed for the investigation of v ...

China’s construction industry-linked economy-resources-environment flow in international trade

Qinli Lu

During construction, a large number of resources are consumed; concurrently, a large amount of greenhouse gas is emitted, which contributes to air pollution. There exist close interactions among construction regions. This study examined the main economy-re ...

An Oligopoly Game of CDR Strategy Deployment in a Steady-State Net-Zero Emission Climate Regime

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

In this paper, we propose a simple oligopoly game model to represent the interactions between coalitions of countries in deploying carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies in a steady-state net-zero emission climate regime that could take place by the end o ...

Unpacking the Green Economy concept: A quantitative analysis of 140 definitions

Romano Tobias Wyss, Albert Merino, Marta Giulia Baldi

Over the past ten years, the Green Economy (GE) concept has gained momentum in both academia and policy-making arenas, leading to international programs in diverse sectors and driving national agendas all over the world. The concept is however highly contr ...

Comparison of environmental assessment methods when reusing building components: a case study

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Endrit Hoxha, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

The building industry is responsible for 35% of all solid waste in Europe and more than a third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To address this, applying circular economy principles to the building sector is crucial, for example by reusing building elem ...

Quantum Monte Carlo approach to the non-equilibrium steady state of open quantum systems

Alexandra Nagy

Many-body open quantum systems are exposed to an essentially uncontrollable environment that acts as a source of decoherence and dissipation. As the exact treatment of such models is generally unfeasible, it is favourable to formulate an approximate descri ...
