Water consumption of felt-based outdoor living walls in warm climates
(Elsevier, 2021)
Living walls are vertical building integrated systems that allow increasing vegetation in cities, providing many benefits. However, some concerns are raised involving their environmental sustainability given that they need ...

On the ejection of filaments of polymer solutions triggered by a micrometer-scale mixing mechanism
(MDPI, 2021)
Polymer filaments constitute precursor materials of so-called fiber mats, ubiquitous structures across cutting-edge technological fields. Thus, approaches that contribute to large-scale production of fibers are desired ...

Large impact velocities suppress the splashing of micron-sized droplets
(American Physical Society, 2021)
Here we investigate the transition from spreading to splashing of drops with radii R varying from millimeters to tens of microns impacting onto a smooth and dry partially wetting substrate at normal atmospheric conditions. ...

Robust flight planning impact assessment considering convective phenomena
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
Thunderstorms are one of the leading causes of Air Traffic Management delays. In this paper, we assess how incorporating convective information into flight planning algorithms can lead to reductions in reroutings due to ...

A global horizon scan of the future impacts of robotics and autonomous systems on urban ecosystems
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Technology is transforming societies worldwide. A significant innovation is the emergence of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS), which have the potential to revolutionise cities for both people and nature. Nonetheless, ...

On the jets produced by drops impacting a deep liquid pool and by bursting bubbles
(Cambridge University Press, 2021)
Here we provide a unified theoretical description of two different physical situations in which liquid jets are expelled out of the bulk of a liquid as a consequence of the capillary collapse of a void. We demonstrate ...

Transonic flow focusing: stability analysis and jet diameter
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
We study numerically and experimentally the stability of the transonic flow focusing used in serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) to place complex biochemical species into the beam focus. Both the numerical and ...

Regular and complex singularities of the generalized thin film equation in two dimensions
(Cambridge University Press, 2021)
We use a generalized version of the equation of motion for a thin film of liquid on a solid, horizontal substrate as a model system to study the formation of singularities in space dimensions greater than one. Varying ...

Diameter and charge of the first droplet emitted in electrospray
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2021)
The first droplet produced by a low-conductivity pendant/sessile droplet subject to a strong electric field is particularly important at the fundamental level because, in contrast to steady electrospray phenomena, its ...

Nature-Based Solutions for Agriculture in Circular Cities: Challenges, Gaps, and Opportunities
(MDPI, 2021-09)
Urban agriculture (UA) plays a key role in the circular metabolism of cities, as it can use water resources, nutrients, and other materials recovered from streams that currently leave the city as solid waste or as ...
