A systems-level energetic framework for conscious processing: energetic organization as a constraint on large-scale neural integration

Conscious processing is associated with coordinated interactions among distributed neural systems, yet the biological constraints that enable and sustain large-scale neural integration remain incompletely understood. Contemporary theories e...

Investigation on Individual and Collective PV Self-Consumption for a Fifth Generation District Heating Network

Renewable Energy Communities have been recently introduced in European legislation to promote distributed generation from renewable energy sources. In fact, they allow to produce and consume energy from shared local power plants. Low temper...

A general theory of glacier surges

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed ...
