In this report we present some preliminary results on the percolation of signals through a multi-hop wireless network. Such networks are candidates for low cost, low maintenance, systems for the deployment of energy-autonomous sensor nodes used for environmental and structural diagnostics of...

The longstanding partnership between Boston University and the Chelsea Public School District of Chelsea, Massachusetts is unique for many reasons. Perhaps the most recognizable feature of this Partnership, however, is that it is the only example of an American university engaging in the...

This report is the first one of a series of reports produced by the EC-funded FP5 Thematic Network project FCTESTNET. All network Work Packages contributed with specific terminology reports that were incorporated and harmonised in the FCTESTNET Fuel Cells Glossary. The Version 1 of the Glossary...

The present report firstly summarizes the background for creating the "European Science and Technology Network on Unconventional Hydrocarbon Extraction", based on a Communication from the European Commission to the Council and the Parliament. It further describes the organisation and functioning...

The present deliverable is part of project 612 RINET (Networking and advancement of RIs for safety and sustainability in the building sector), which aims at building a sustained platform for collaboration of Research Infrastructures (RIs) in earthquake engineering and structural dynamics in the...

A firm's decision to establish an R&D centre in a specific location creates externalities affecting other firms and, thus, a random distribution of location choices is unlikely. Expecting that the global distribution of R&D centres fulfils the criteria of a complex network, we apply social...

The ENNAH project (The European Network on Noise and Health) was funded by the European Union's 7th Framework Program (FP7‐ENV‐2008‐1, project no.226442) to establish a research network of experts on noise and health in Europe. The network brought together 33 European research centres from...
