Increasing temperatures associated with climate change are predicted to cause reductions
in body size, a key determinant of animal physiology and ecology. Using a four‐decade …

A framework is presented for the automated superstructure generation and optimization of
distributed energy supply systems (DESS). Based on a basic problem description (specifying …

A concept of an integrated and distributed inverter for switched reluctance machines is
introduced. The application at hand is an outer-rotor direct drive designed for railway traction …

An optimisation-based decision support methodology is presented for the synthesis of energy
supply systems on the conceptual level. Previous work in this field has tended to focus on …

Dust is an important component of Earth's climate system, directly affecting the global radiation
budget and hydrological cycle. The interaction of aerosols with clouds and its impact on …

In electric and hybrid-electric vehicle applications, power electronic converters are used to
couple the traction machine with the battery stack. The simplest topology consists of an …

Millions of nocturnally migrating birds die each year from collisions with built structures,
especially brightly illuminated buildings and communication towers. Reducing this source of …

In this paper, instantaneous torque control for switched reluctance machines (SRMs) with an
arbitrary number of phases is introduced. Direct portability of this control to machines with …

Understanding interactions between biota and the built environment is increasingly important
as human modification of the landscape expands in extent and intensity. For migratory …

While many classes of chemotherapeutic agents exist to treat solid tumors, few can
generate a lasting response without substantial off-target toxicity despite significant scientific …
