Spatial Computing for Building Performance and Design by Weber, Ramon Elias

“…Accommodating urban population growth while reducing emissions from the built environment poses an unprecedented challenge to the architectural discipline. To enable more sustainable construction, the dissertation proposes a new computational design framework to investigate how building performance from an environmental and user perspective relates to spatial design. …”

Proton-coupled electron transfer at SOFC electrodes by Williams, Nicholas J, Warburton, Robert E, Seymour, Ieuan D, Cohen, Alexander E, Bazant, Martin Z, Skinner, Stephen J

“…Understanding the charge transfer processes at solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes is critical to designing more efficient and robust materials. Activation losses at SOFC electrodes have been widely attributed to the ambipolar migration of charges at the mixed ionic–electronic conductor–gas interface. …”

How information about historic carbon emissions affects support for climate aid: evidence from a survey experiment by Charnysh, Volha, Kalow, Jared, Lieberman, Evan, Walk, Erin

“…We find that specific attribution claims that reflect a climate justice perspective do boost support for more generous climate aid, but the effects are largely driven by Democrats. …”

Precise inversion of logged slownesses for elastic parameters in a gas shale formation by Miller, Douglas E., Horne, Steve A., Walsh, John

“…Dipole sonic logs from these wells show that the formation's average properties are, to a very good approximation, explained by a transversely isotropic medium with a vertical symmetry axis and with elastic parameters satisfying C[subscript 13]=C[subscript 12], but inconsistent with the additional ANNIE relation (C[subscript 13]=C[subscript 33]−2C[subscript 55]). More importantly, these data clearly show that, at least for fast anisotropic formations such as this gas shale, sonic logs measure group slownesses for propagation with the group angle equal to the borehole inclination angle. …”
