International audience; Concerns regarding noxious emissions from internal combustion engines have increased over the years. There is a strong need to understand the nature of sub-23 nm particles and to develop measurement techniques to evaluate the feasibility of new r...

In this work, a numerical procedure to obtain the fatigue performance of composite laminates is proposed. The formulation used is based on the Serial/Parallel Mixing Theory (SP-RoM) and a fatigue damage model. The SP-RoM acts as a constitutive law manager, obtaining the...

SUMMARY In the last 15 yr, the use of surface waves retrieved from the cross-correlation of ambient seismic noise has significantly increased its applications to determine or monitor changes in the elastic properties of the Earth's interior. We designed a methodology fo...

This paper describes the research performed within the scope of H2020 project FIBRESHIP in the development and validation of a thermo-mechanical model to assess the fire performance of composite structures. A one-dimensional thermal model with pyrolysis is used to obtai...

SUMMARY We apply a new technique for a laterally constrained surface wave inversion (LCSWI) to estimate the 3-D sedimentary structure of the Cerro Prieto Basin, Baja California, Mexico. The basin contains the Cerro Prieto geothermal field, which is considered one of the...

This paper aims to illustrate and give an interpretation of the results emerged from a pilot activity developed within the ROCK project, by the Department of Architecture of the University of Bologna, Alma Mater Studiorum. Through this activity, we studied the indoor mi...

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement have ushered in a new era of policymaking to deliver on the formulated goals. Energy policies are key to ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy (SDG7). Yet the...

Abstract Due to the capital cost of co-firing being lower than other biomass technologies, the transformation of coal plants into co-firing facilities can potentially minimize the bioenergy cost needed to meet energy decarbonization targets. This study analyzes the impa...

The visual communication of climate information is one of the cornerstones of climate services. It often requires the translation of multidimensional data to visual channels by combining colors, distances, angles, and glyph sizes. However, visualizations including too m...

Understanding mechanisms of promiscuity is increasingly important from a fundamental and application point of view. As to enzyme structural dynamics, more promiscuous enzymes generally have been recognized to also be more flexible. However, examples for the opposite rec...
