Towards a Sustainable Design: Integrating Spatial Planning with Energy Planning When Designing a University Campus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Production and Management, 2023
Spatial planning and energy planning are two crucial topics related to each other, as both subjects have environmental, social, and economic benefits. Worldwide, few researchers have studied the integration of spatial planning with energy planning, however, in Jordan, this subject remained unexplored.

Integrating short-term demand response into long-term investment planning

open access: yes, 2012
Planning models have been used for many years to optimize generation investments in electric power systems. More recently, these models have been extended in order to treat demand-side management on an equal footing. This paper stresses the importance of

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Conceptualizing the Zero-Energy Campus as a planning object: an integrated framework for Meso-Scale planning

open access: yesFrontiers of Urban and Rural Planning
This study addresses the persistent gap between city-scale carbon–neutral targets and operational spatial planning by conceptualizing the Zero-Energy Campus (ZEC) as a meso-scale planning object.
