Computation of the attenuation function of the lightning return-stroke current from electromagnetic fields measured in a short-duration time-window — Part II: Numerical implementation

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

In the present paper, we show, by means of numerical simulations, that electromagnetic field data obtained from the radiation of a return-stroke lightning discharge and measured over a short-duration time-window can be exploited to reconstruct the attenuat ...

RECA: A Multi-Task Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Recommender System for Co-Optimizing Energy, Comfort and Air Quality in Commercial Buildings

Andrew James Sonta

We present the design and implementation of RECA, a novel human-centric recommender system for co-optimizing energy consumption, comfort and air quality in commercial buildings. Existing works generally optimize these objectives separately, or by only cont ...

Combining thermal insulation and mobile communication in buildings: influence of laser-treated glazing on microwave propagation

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury, Héloïse Ludivine Delaporte

With the purpose of reducing the heating energy in buildings, it is common practice to install energy-efficient windows to increase the thermal insulation of a façade. These insulating glass units (IGIJ) include a thin silver coating acting as an infrared ...

The irreducibility of vision: Gestalt, crowding and the fundamentals of vision

Michael Herzog

What is fundamental in vision has been discussed for millennia. For philosophical realists and the physiological approach to vision, the objects of the outer world are truly given, and failures to perceive objects properly, such as in illusions, are just s ...

Shrinking Housing's Size: Using Agent-Based Modelling to Explore Measures for a Reduction of Floor Area Per Capita

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani

To shrink the environmental footprint of housing, reducing dwellings' size is key. There is agreement among scholars on the measures that should be taken to achieve this goal, however their effectiveness and effects have not been sufficiently investigated. ...

A systems perspective for residential preferences and dwellings: housing functions and their role in Swiss residential mobility

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani

Worldwide, there is an urgent imperative to provide a housing supply that is environmentally sustainable as well as acceptable and desirable for its users. A holistic and integrative understanding of the relationship between households’ residential prefere ...

Coatings with tailored electronic and optical properties for advanced glazing

Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

Modern envelope glazing relies on nanoscale coatings to meet a range of specific needs. Low emissivity coatings can improve the thermal performance of glazing thanks to a thin metallic film. However, the conductive nature of this layer leads to an attenuat ...

Moving on: Is Existenzminimum Still Relevant?

Bruno Marchand

In the inter-war period, progressive architects confronted the building of mass housing with an analogy with rational and functional workplaces. At the 2nd CIAM (Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne), held in Frankfurt in 1929, this was tested aga ...

The institutional challenges of scaling-up housing retrofit: the Swiss cities of Basel and Sion

Eghbal Arian Mahzouni

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the nexus between two societal (sub) systems of housing and energy supply to shed new light on the key institutional barriers to socio-technical energy transition in the built environment. The key research question is to ...

To periodiko Architektoniki kai i metapolemiki polykatoikia (The Architektoniki magazine and the post-war polykatoikia)

Olga Moatsou

This paper looks into the contribution of Architektoniki, the architectural magazine whose eminent Greek architekt Kostas Kitsikis was director between 1957 and 1967, in the esthetic and typological development of post-war polykatoikia apartment buildings. ...

Intensification of slow reversible chemical transformation: carboxylation of resorcinol as a case study

Lioubov Kiwi, Charline Berguerand, Anne-Laure Dessimoz

Conjugated kinetic and thermodynamic modeling is suggested as a suitable approach to identify a novel process window (NPW) for the intensification of slow reversible reactions. The aqueous Kolbe-Schmitt synthesis of beta-resorcylic acid is taken as a model ...

RoSe: A sub-GHz wireless sensor platform with housing integrated overmolded antenna

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Pierre-André Farine, Francesco Merli, Alexis Boegli, Mitko Tanevski

A wireless sensor platform for use in ultralow-power wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is presented. The proposed round sensor (RoSe) node is physically robust, is resistant to humidity, and has a housing that can be in direct contact with food. These charac ...
