Communication of a multivariate Gaussian source transmitted over orthogonal additive white Gaussian noise channels using delay-free joint source channel codes (JSCC) is studied in this paper. Two scenarios are considered: ...

This document outlines the definition, key performance indicators (KPI) and assessment criteria for the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN research centre). This second version of the ZEN ...

Utviklingen av energisystemet drives av politiske ambisjoner for å dempe klimaendringene. Disse ambisjonene impliserer at energirelaterte klimagassutslipp må reduseres dramatisk i løpet av de neste tiårene. I tillegg til ...

Buildings are becoming an increasingly active part of the power system due to the ongoing deployment of decentralized energy resources. To reap the added value that may be realized by zero emission neighbourhoods, it is ...

This article examines associations between precarious contract types and a range of self-reported health measures for the UK. We focus on zero hours contracts (ZHCs), an extreme form of precarious employment that has grown ...

Understanding the strength degradation of glass and carbon fibers due to exposure to liquids over time is important for structural applications. A model has been developed for glass fibers that links the strength reduction ...

Coercion of service users/patients when receiving care and treatment has been a serious dilemma for mental health services since at least the 18th century, and the debate about how best to minimise or even eradicate ...

Partial decarbonization of natural gas has the potential to kickstart the hydrogen economy. Up to 20% hydrogen volume can be safely accommodated in existing natural gas networks, removing the problem of insufficient ...

In order to reduce the existing gap between design and as-built building performance, experimental data are required, both for single components and for whole building characterization. Real scale buildings, designed and ...
