Dual Electric and Magnetic Networks: Extension to Time-Varying and Hysteretical Conditions
(2006)Studies in Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics ~ Electromagnetic Fields in Mechatronics, Electrical and Electronic EngineeringHaving defined the applicative limits of the duality rule of E. Colin Cherry, the criteria concerning the extension to the case of time varying networks is analyzed. A topological criterion emerges that, while confirming the efficacy already seen for the analysis of transformers, is suited for being adapted in a unified interpretation involving rotating machinery.Book Chapter -
Comparing Renewable Energy Micro-Grids in Cambodia, Indonesia, and Laos
(2020)Science, Technology, and Innovation for Sustainable Development Goals: Insights from Agriculture, Health, Environment, and EnergySustainable development goal 7.1 aims to ensure access to electricity for approximately 800 million people who currently live without electricity. Despite its advantages over other electrification approaches, global diffusion of renewable energy-based micro-grids (RE-MG) is rather low. Typically, diffusion bottlenecks are thought to be related to issues of technological reliability; however, recent research suggests diffusion is highly ...Book Chapter -

Systemic Planetary Risks
(2018)The Routledge Companion to Risk, Crisis, and Emergency Management.Environmental risks to humans are not new – history is replete with examples of societies that collapsed alongside ecosystem change (Diamond, 2005). We know that numerous societies have suffered because of environmental pollution from organizational operations (King & Lenox, 2000; Maguire & Hardy, 2009, Maguire & Hardy, 2013) and from industrial accidents (Gephart, 1984: Tsoukas, 1999).Book Chapter -

Transferring Interdisciplinary Sustainability Research to Practice: Barriers and Solutions to the Practitioner-Academic Gap
(2022)Strategies for Sustainability ~ Interdisciplinary Research for Sustainable Business: Perspectives of Female Business Scholars.Interdisciplinary sustainability knowledge in the field of management is often perceived as lacking relevance for practical applications in the field. This then hinders progress towards a more sustainable business. In this chapter, we discuss why the practitioner-academic gap exists including knowledge transfer problems, knowledge production problems and philosophical problems. We reflect on whether the gap is simply unbridgeable or whether ...Book Chapter -

Sustainable innovation at Interface
(2015)The Psychology of Green OrganizationsResearch to date on workplace pro-environmental behavior (WPEB) has focused primarily on identifying its individual antecedents at the micro-organizational behavioral level using a social psychology perspective. Although valuable, this chapter adopts a more sociological perspective to give attention to the interaction between organizational context and WPEBs. Through qualitative investigation of the WPEBs of innovation team members at ...Book Chapter -
Energy Management
(2009)Handbook of Hybrid Systems Control: Theory, Tools, ApplicationsEnergy management is an issue in many applications ranging from consumer electronics to power systems. The operation of energy management systems involves many severe hybrid phenomena, mostly due to the presence of switches. As a consequence, control and optimization play a crucial role to enable increased performance and reliability, as illustrated by two examples: the control of DC-DC converters and the model-predictive supervision of ...Book Chapter -
Simulations of Crystal Growth Using Lattice Boltzmann Formulation
(2024)High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering '22: Transactions of the High Performance Computing Center, Stuttgart (HLRS) 2022Crystallization is widely applied in many industrial applications, in particular for chemical engineering and pharmaceutical products. This project will focus on the modeling of crystal growth with a phase-field model using the lattice Boltzmann method. First, simulations of snowflake growth are carried out under different ambient conditions (humidity and temperature) in the plate-growth regime of the Nakaya diagram. The resulting crystal ...Book Chapter -
Stable Oxygen Isotope Composition of Phosphates to Investigate Phosphorus Cycling in the Soil–Plant Continuum
(2024)Tracing the Sources and Fate of Contaminants in Agroecosystems: Applications of Multi-stable IsotopesThis chapter provides an overview of how the stable isotope composition of oxygen bond to phosphorus, δ(18O)PO4, in phosphate can be used to investigate P cycling in the soil–plant continuum. In recent years, several books and articles about different aspects of P cycling have been published. This chapter provides summary information about P cycling in the soil–plant continuum focusing on the current methods in P research. It also provides ...Book Chapter -

Chapter 10: Monitoring, reporting and verification
(2024)The State of Carbon Dioxide RemovalMonitoring, reporting and verifying that carbon dioxide (CO2 ) has been captured from the atmosphere and stored durably is critical for growing confidence in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and for driving growth. But the science and policy around developing robust systems for doing so is complex and in different stages of development for different CDR methods.Book Chapter -

FPGA EDA: Design Principles and Implementation
(2024)This book focuses on FPGA EDA tools, the very foundation of FPGA technology. Instead of illustrating how to use them, this book dives into the tools themselves, revealing how these tools are being designed and how they may improve. Unlike other semiconductors, FPGA has a distinctive two-stage EDA system: chip design EDA and application design EDA.State-of-the-art algorithms, data models and design methodologies/standards are the main ...Monograph -
