Future urbanization is expected to reach 80% in 2050 with an increment in cold demand of 300%. One possible solution to reduce the effect of urban heat island, while reducing CO2 emission are district energy systems such as district cooling network. New generation of district cooling can operate at…

Nesta tese, investigamos o transporte quântico em estruturas híbridas de grafeno - monocamada-bicamada-monocamada. Primeiro consideramos a dupla camada em empilhamento do tipo Bernal e, de seguida, generalizamos a nossa análise para um ângulo arbitrário de rotação entre as duas camadas. Em ambos os …

The self-organization of signaling has been a topic of interest in evolutionary theory, due to its ubiquitous presence in nature. Here we show that the entangled evolution of signaling strategies and interaction structure may constitute a key mechanism for the evolution and sustainability of informa…
