Urban space and pervasive systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper we present an early approach for developing a theoretical framework and understanding for designing pervasive systems as an integral part of the urban landscape.

Influence of the façades convective heat transfer coefficients on the thermal energy demand for an urban street canyon building [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In an urban micro-climate environment, the convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) on the façades influences simulated building's energy demand and exterior wall surfaces temperatures.

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Epidermal Patch Technologies for Integrated Healthcare and Infection Management

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Epidermal patches have evolved from simple wound coverings into multifunctional, skin‐conformable platforms integrating drug delivery, biosensing, and therapeutic functionalities. This review highlights their material innovations, fabrication strategies, and intelligent designs, including hydrogels, microneedles, and flexible electronics, while ...

New Hollywood in the rust belt: urban decline and downtown renaissance in 'The King of Marvin Gardens' and 'Rocky' [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This article reviews the geographical dynamics of New Hollywood, arguing that the industrial crisis of 1969-1971 catalyzed further decentralization of location shooting beyond Los Angeles, bringing new types of urban space into view.

High Light Utilization and Color Rendering in Vacuum‐Deposited Semitransparent Perovskite Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, low bandgap (≈1.55 eV) semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST‐PSCs) having thin (thickness < ≈100 nm) perovskite layers and transparent conductive oxide‐based rear electrodes are fabricated using vacuum‐deposition methods. Two different ST‐PSCs demonstrated a high light utilization efficiency value of 4.2 (PCE: 9.26% and AVT: 45.3 ...

Metric and topo-geometric properties of urban street networks: some convergences, divergences and new results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The theory of cities, which has grown out of the use of space syntax techniques in urban studies, proposes a curious mathematical duality: that urban space is locally metric but globally topo-geometric.

Ancient Cartographies as a Basis for Geolocation Models in Public Space: The Case of Giambattista Nolli and its Heritage Application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In 1748, the architect and surveyor Giambattista Nolli mapped an abstract reality of the city of Rome. As a challenge to the inherited projections, it represented the city mixing streets, halls, corridors, churches, baths and markets as part of a unique ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Pulsed Electrolysis Prevents Sulfur Poisoning for Sustained Sulfide Valorization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Integrating pulsed electrolysis with Sc‐doped NiFe‐LDH enables sustainable sulfide valorization, achieving >500 h stability, 99.8% efficiency. Moreover, this technology produces high‐purity sulfur and sodium formate, boosting profit by 121% to $1,294.7 per tonne of hydrogen.
