A preliminary approach to estimate the impact of climate change on electricity demand in Italy
We present a methodology to estimate cooling degree-days, heating degree-days and solar radiation records that are representative of the urbanised areas of the Italian territory. These records have recently been used within a model linking meteorological

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure
The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

Life-Cycle Cost, Cooling Degree Day, and Carbon Dioxide Emission
In this study, cooling degree day (CDD) and life cycle cost (LCC) analyses are applied to refrigerated warehouses in Turkey to determine the optimum insulation thickness. The external wall of refrigerated warehouses is considered as a sandwich wall and the insulation material is taken to be expanded polystyrene.

All‐Polyimide‐Mediated Liquid Metal Assembly on Aerogels for Breathable and Robust Electronic Skins
An all‐polyimide‐mediated assembly strategy resolves the fundamental conflict between physiological breathability and electromechanical robustness in wearable electronics. By integrating a polyamic acid‐encapsulated liquid metal ink onto an ultralight polyimide aerogel, imidization‐induced contraction enables low‐temperature conductive activation and ...
