Urban water management projects involving stormwater harvesting, detention, and infiltration are being increasingly combined with urban greening to support adaptation and resilience to the changing climate.A novel stormwater harvesting device, the TREENET Inlet, intercepts stormwater runoff from roads and soaks it into the soil through a leaky well
Lead acid battery recycling for the twenty-first century
There is a growing need to develop novel processes to recover lead from end-of-life lead-acid batteries, due to increasing energy costs of pyrometallurgical lead recovery, the resulting CO2 emissions and the catastrophic health implications of lead exposure from lead-to-air emissions.To address these issues, we are developing an iono-metallurgical
Designing a sustainable strategy for malaria control?
Abstract Malaria in the 21st century is showing signs of declining over much of its distribution, including several countries in Africa where previously this was not thought to be feasible.Yet for the most part the strategies to attack the infection are similar to those of the 1950s.Three major Journals have recently drawn attention to the situatio
Entre admiration et critique : Johann Friedrich Armand von Uffenbach à Versailles (1715)
In 1715 the German Johann Friedrich von Uffenbach, descended from a prosperous Frankfurt family, undertook a four-year journey, the last Drive Chain months of which he spent in Paris, from 11 September 1715 to 11 April 1716.During this period he made two day trips to Versailles, on 17 September 1715 and a few days later on 21 September.These visits
Probabilistic Forecasting of German Electricity Imbalance Prices
The imbalance market is very volatile and often exhibits extreme price spikes.This makes it very hard to model; however, if predicted correctly, one could make significant gains by participating on the right side of the market.In this manuscript, we conduct a very short-term probabilistic forecasting of imbalance prices, contributing to the scarce
