Multiscale modeling of polycrystalline materials: A boundary element approach to material degradation and fracture
2015
Abstract In this work, a two-scale approach to degradation and failure in polycrystalline materials is proposed. The formulation involves the engineering component level (macro-scale) and the material grain level (micro-scale). The macro-continuum is modeled using a three-dimensional boundary element formulation in which the presence of damage is formulated through an initial stress approach to account for the local softening in the neighborhood of points experiencing degradation at the micro-scale. The microscopic degradation is explicitly modeled by associating Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) to relevant points of the macro continuum, for representing the polycrystalline microstruct…
Quantifying the Potential Economic Benefits of Flexible Industrial Demand in the European Power System
2018
The envisaged decarbonization of the European power system introduces complex techno-economic challenges to its operation and development. Demand flexibility can significantly contribute in addressing these challenges and enable a cost-effective transition to the low-carbon future. Although extensive previous work has analyzed the impacts of residential and commercial demand flexibility, the respective potential of the industrial sector has not yet been thoroughly investigated despite its large size. This paper presents a novel, whole-system modeling framework to comprehensively quantify the potential economic benefits of flexible industrial demand (FID) for the European power system. This …
Ligand engineering in Cu(ii) paddle wheel metal–organic frameworks for enhanced semiconductivity
2020
We report the electronic structure of two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with copper paddle wheel nodes connected by a N2(C2H4)3 (DABCO) ligand with accessible nitrogen lone pairs. The coordination is predicted, from first-principles density functional theory, to enable electronic pathways that could facilitate charge carrier mobility. Calculated frontier crystal orbitals indicate extended electronic communication in DMOF-1, but not in MOF-649. This feature is confirmed by bandstructure calculations and effective masses of the valence band egde. We explain the origin of the frontier orbitals of both MOFs based on the energy and symmetry alignment of the underlying building blocks. The effe…
SMART CULTURAL HERITAGE AND SUSTAINABLE URBAN DESIGN EXPERIMENTAL DISTRICTS IN SICILY AND IN GREECE
2014
The design is a creative process for the production of objects , projects and services that are used to meet any need. In architecture and city planning in the design process is designed especially to meet the needs of living. Sustainable urban design is in fact a creative process for the implementation of sustainable practices. Adding up the benefits for all sectors that deal with sustainability indices , it can be argued that the reduction of the environmental impact , better use of the cultural and environmental resources and an improved quality of life for the inhabitants are the main advantages to build sustainable urban development. There are various urban problems in certain cities o…
Statistically validated networks in bipartite complex systems.
2011
Many complex systems present an intrinsic bipartite nature and are often described and modeled in terms of networks [1-5]. Examples include movies and actors [1, 2, 4], authors and scientific papers [6-9], email accounts and emails [10], plants and animals that pollinate them [11, 12]. Bipartite networks are often very heterogeneous in the number of relationships that the elements of one set establish with the elements of the other set. When one constructs a projected network with nodes from only one set, the system heterogeneity makes it very difficult to identify preferential links between the elements. Here we introduce an unsupervised method to statistically validate each link of the pr…
Interdisciplinarity and languages: Current Issues in Research, Teaching, Professional Applications and ICT
2011
This volume offers a state-of-the-art view of research into interdisciplinarity, language and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by providing an overview of teaching proposals within a university context. Interdisciplinarity is understood here as how language expresses the discourse and lexis of specialised knowledge in science, technology and the professions. Language helps in the creation of these different fields and constitutes a strategic tool that, if harnessed correctly, will facilitate competitiveness on an international level in order to boost technological, scientific, economic and educational growth. Interdisciplinarity, language and ICTs should be taken into account …
Going beyond a conflict of approaches in psychiatric care: the perks of interdisciplinary research
2021
International audience; Our research studied the interactions between mental health care (MHC) professionals and users in French public psychiatry, focusing on the “tools” which professionals use in their interactions with users. We draw a typology of four main "therapeutic styles" in relation to tool use;1- Absence of identifiable tools. Interaction is personalized and improvised. 2- Use of rituals and habits. 3- Use of methods that have otherwise been written and formalized.4- Use of tools, be they written or computerized, protocols guiding the interactions, or strictly standardized tools.The psychologist involved in the research (HH) intends to show how the practice of interdisciplinary …

Translation history: audiences, collaboration and interdisciplinarity
2013
Translation history constitutes a huge field of research where methods, theories, research questions and topics vary widely. One important question here is who we write history to (who is our addressee) and what kind of an impact the perceived audience has on the ways of writing history. In the case of academic audiences, an audience often is also a partner in research collaboration. However, there are other audiences outside the academia as well. In this article, I will illustrate the issue of audiences and interdisciplinarity through describing the work done in translation historiography in Finland. There have been scholars and writers from different academic disciplines and orientations …
Fundamentos interdisciplinares y cultura del diseño: un lenguaje comparativo en la docencia de artes aplicadas
2022
Este trabajo lleva a cabo un acercamiento interdisciplinar a la filología, con una valoración hermenéutica de una bibliografía diversa, reconsiderando especialmente aspectos fundamentales de la cultura francesa e italiana que se interesan transversalmente por las disciplinas artísticas visuales (incluidas las artes aplicadas). Una aproximación académica que precisa de cierta heterodoxia, inspirada por el ejemplo de reconocidos autores internacionales que se han acercado a disciplinas que no son específicamente las propias. Así, partiendo de la práctica docente, se procede a una inducción conceptual, con la ayuda de una particular interpretación de la intertextualidad, siempre sustentado en …
