1. Explaining the socio-economic output of urban regions with a model combining urban scaling and polycentricity 

   Khiali-Miab A.; Gret-Regamey A.; Axhausen K.W.; et al. (2024)

   Urban Scaling: Allometry in Urban Studies and Spatial Science

   Urban scaling theory and polycentric urban development are two well-known concepts that draw parallels between configurations and socio-economic conditions of urban regions. Both concepts, however, have some drawbacks, which could potentially be alleviated by combining them in a new model. In this study, income in urban regions in Switzerland is explained by combining the hierarchy of a region’s commuter network (i.e., indicator for ...

2. Sedimentary terrestrial records of global environmental change 

   Moreno A.; Valero-Garcés B.; Frugone-Álvarez M.; et al. (2024)

   Climate and Anthropogenic Impacts on Earth Surface Processes in the Anthropocene

   The Anthropocene represents a phase in the geological timescale during which humans have become a transformative force on a planetary scale. This is already discernible in sedimentary archives that show distinctive changes in sedimentological, geochemical, or biological properties. In terrestrial environments, lacustrine and cave sediment sequences provide examples to illustrate the impact of recent climate fluctuations and anthropic ...

3. Data-Driven Modeling in Geomechanics 

   Karapiperis K. (2024)

   Machine Learning in Geomechanics 2: Data-Driven Modeling, Bayesian Inference, Physics- and Thermodynamics-based Artificial Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning

   The framework of data-driven computational mechanics offers a novel avenue to solve problems in geomechanics, including challenging ones that involve failure and localized deformation. Free from the uncertainty of the classical constitutive modeling approach and the caveats of machine learning models, the data-driven formulation offers an alternative paradigm for computation. This chapter reviews the framework for the case of simple and ...

4. Role and impact of glass in chemistry, flow chemistry, and microfluidic technologies 

   Sevim S.; Sorrenti A.; Graniel O.; et al. (2024)

   Additive Manufacturing of Glass: from Science to Applications

   Along with advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies and additive manufacturing, last decades have witnessed another noteworthy development in materials synthesis and processing with the inclusion of flow chemistry and microfluidic technologies. Specifically, microfluidic technologies provide several benefits during materials synthesis, such as advanced heat and mass transfer in confined spaces, spatiotemporal control over ...
