Providing access to urban green spaces: A participatory benefit-cost analysis in Spain
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020)The opening up of green spaces could provide significant benefits to society. This study develops a framework to assess the economic benefits and costs of public interventions providing citizen access to urban green spaces. ... -
Proximity Effects on the Charge Density Wave Order and Superconductivity in Single-Layer NbSe2
(American Chemical Society, 2021-12-28)Collective electronic states such as the charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity (SC) respond sensitively to external perturbations. Such sensitivity is dramatically enhanced in two dimensions (2D), where 2D ... -
Public attitudes toward biodiversity‐friendly greenspace management in Europe
(Wiley, 2020)Increasing urbanization worldwide calls for more sustainable urban development. Simultaneously, the global biodiversity crisis accentuates the need of fostering biodiversity within cities. Policies supporting urban nature ... -
Pyrolysis of plastic wastes in a fountain confined conical spouted bed reactor: determination of stable operating conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-12-31)[EN] The performance of both fluidized and spouted bed reactors in the pyrolysis of waste plastics is conditioned by particle agglomeration phenomena, which worsen the quality of the gas-solid contact and eventually lead ... -
QoE-Oriented Mobile Edge Service Management Leveraging SDN and NFV
(Hindawi, 2017)5G envisages a "hyperconnected society" where trillions of diverse entities could communicate with each other anywhere and at any time, some of which will demand extremely challenging performance requirements such as ... -
Quality of Service Aware Orchestration for Cloud-Edge Continuum Applications
(MDPI, 2022-02-23)The fast growth in the amount of connected devices with computing capabilities in the past years has enabled the emergence of a new computing layer at the Edge. Despite being resource-constrained if compared with cloud ... -
Quality of urban climate adaptation plans over time
(npj Urban Sustainability, 2023-12-01)Defining and measuring progress in adaptation are important questions for climate adaptation science, policy, and practice. Here, we assess the progress of urban adaptation planning in 327 European cities between 2005 and ... -
Quantifying the reductions in mortality from air-pollution by cancelling new coal power plants
(Energy and Climate Change, 2021)Deep decarbonization paths to the 1.5 °C or 2 °C temperature stabilization futures require a rapid reduction in coal-fired power plants, but many countries are continuing to build new ones. Coal-fired plants are also a ... -
Quantitative Storytelling: Science, Narratives, and Uncertainty in Nexus Innovations
(Science Technology and Human Values, 2021-01-01)Innovations are central instruments of sustainability policies. They project future visions onto technological solutions and enable win-win framings of complex sustainability issues. Yet, they also create new problems by ... -
Quantum anharmonic enhancement of superconductivity in P63/mmc ScH6 at high pressures: A first-principles study
(AIP Publishing, 2021-11-05)Making use of first-principles calculations, we analyze the effect of quantum ionic fluctuations and lattice anharmonicity on the crystal structure and superconductivity of P63/mmc ScH6 in the 100–160 GPa pressure range ... -
Quantum crystal structure in the 250-kelvin superconducting lanthanum hydride
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-05)The discovery of superconductivity at 200 kelvin in the hydrogen sulfide system at high pressures demonstrated the potential of hydrogen-rich materials as high-temperature superconductors. Recent theoretical predictions ... -
Quantum Memristors in Frequency-Entangled Optical Fields
(MDPI, 2020-02-14)A quantum memristor is a passive resistive circuit element with memory, engineered in a given quantum platform. It can be represented by a quantum system coupled to a dissipative environment, in which a system–bath ... -
Quantum Simulation of Dissipative Processes without Reservoir Engineering
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-05-29)We present a quantum algorithm to simulate general finite dimensional Lindblad master equations without the requirement of engineering the system-environment interactions. The proposed method is able to simulate both ... -
