A successful decarbonization of the European Union, coupled with a high integration of renewable energy and ambitious targets for energy efficiency, can only be reached with a significant contribution from transport. This sector currently represents a quar ...
In this thesis, we consider an anisotropic finite-range bond percolation model on Z2. On each horizontal layer {(x,i):x∈Z} for i∈Z, we have edges ⟨(x,i),(y,i)⟩ for 1≤∣x−y∣≤N with $N\in\mathbb{N ...
We provide a comprehensive quantitative analysis of localized and extended topological defects in the steady state of 2D passive and active repulsive Brownian disk systems. We show that, both in and out-of-equilibrium, the passage from the solid to the hex ...
Significant shares of regional passenger railway still rely on pollutive diesel vehicles. Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens, and Stadler have reacted and recently announced Battery Electric and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs). In this paper, we anal ...
Wireless communications are currently faced with two main challenges. The first challenge stems from the enormous number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that transmit very small amounts of data. The second challenge is the need for ever-increasing data ...
Asset tracking involving accurate location and transportation data is highly suited to wireless sensor networks (WSNs) featuring battery-less nodes that can be deployed in virtually any environment and require little or no maintenance. In response to the g ...
Thermodynamics and heat engines are the core disciplines which enabled the development of the thermo-industrial society during the 20th century. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are one of the easiest and most convenient solutions offered by the thermophysical con ...
In this article, we consider an anisotropic finite-range bond percolation model on Z(2). On each horizontal layer {(x, i): x is an element of Z} we have edges for 1
Techniques are disclosed for adaptive coding and scheduling of packets in wireless networks. The adaptive coding and scheduling can be achieved by utilizing a discrete water filling (DWF) scheme. In an example, a computer-implemented method to adaptively c ...
