AbstractMany pathways towards reaching defossilization goals build on a substantially increased production of bio-based products and energy carriers including liquid biofuels. This is, amongst others, limited by land and phosphorous availability. However, it is challeng...

The absence of a human driver in an automated vehicle (AV) raises new challenges in communication and cooperation between road users, especially for ambiguous situations where road users would like to communicate their intention explicitly. This paper investigates the e...

Sustainability awareness in young people, and especially students, is growing in importance. To this end, serious games and playful experiences are used to enable students and teachers to actively study climate change issues and respective challenges. Many approaches ha...

This chapter presents state-of-the-art and major developments in wireless power transfer using solar energy. The brief state-of-the-art is presented for solar photovoltaic technologies which can be combined with wireless power transfer (WPT) to interact with the ambient...

This work presents the results of scandium extraction from Greek Bauxite Residue (BR) using sulfuric acid as the leaching agent and a composite extractant-enhanced ion-exchange resin for a new novel, selective-ion recovery (SIR) process developed by II–VI. The BR produc...

Faba bean is a cool-season annual grain legume that originated in the southwestern Asia. It is now grown on all continents but on only 2.5 Mha when compared with 5.5 Mha in 1960. The largest production is in Mediterranean environments, but it is also grown in high altit...

Is it possible to rethink the phenomenon of city and the policies that concern it according to the guidelines that the Rock project has attempted without also questioning the conceptual frameworks, or rather the practices and forms of habitual thought that have focused ...

We report a generalized Geertsma solution with which we can calculate the surface deformation from a subsurface made of an arbitrary number of isotropic homogeneous layers and a thick reservoir at any depth. We validate the generalized Geertsma solution by solving simpl...
