Nexus of thermal resilience and energy efficiency in buildings: A case study of a nursing home [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Extreme weather events become more frequent and severe due to climate change. Although energy efficiency technologies can influence thermal resilience of buildings, they are traditionally studied separately, and their interconnections are rarely ...

CO2 Concentration and Occupants’ Symptoms in Naturally Ventilated Schools in Mediterranean Climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A large part of the school building stock in Andalusia lacks ventilation facilities, so that the air renewal of the classrooms is achieved through the building envelope (air infiltration) or the opening of windows.

People Counting and Positioning Using Low‐Resolution Infrared Images for FeFET‐Based In‐Memory Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, low‐resolution infrared imaging is combined with a 28 nm FeFET IMC architecture to enable compact, energy‐efficient edge inference. MLC FeFET devices are experimentally characterized, and controlled multi‐level current accumulation is validated at crossbar array level.

Optimising Ventilation Strategies for Improved Driving Range and Comfort in Electric Vehicles

open access: yesWorld Electric Vehicle Journal
A car cabin’s small volume makes it vulnerable to discomfort if temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels are poorly regulated. In electric vehicles, the HVAC system draws energy from the car battery, reducing the driving range by several dozen ...

Response-surface-model-based system sizing for nearly/net zero energy buildings under uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Properly treating uncertainty is critical for robust system sizing of nearly/net zero energy buildings (ZEBs). To treat uncertainty, the conventional method conducts Monte Carlo simulations for thousands of possible design options, which inevitably leads

Major Cybersecurity Breaches: Shaping Corporate Cybersecurity Policies and Closing the Gaps

open access: yesJournal of Corporate Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As digitalization accelerates, cybercrime has intensified in both scale and impact over the past two decades. This study aims to critically examine major cybersecurity events, assess them through the lens of routine activity theory, examine insight from three other established criminological and organizational theories, and address central ...

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and
