Radiative cooling and thermoregulation in the earth’s glow Open
Efficient passive radiative cooling of buildings requires an unimpeded view of the sky. However, vertical facades of buildings mostly see terrestrial features that become broadband-radiative heat sources in the summer and heat sinks in the…

Innovations in thin‐film electronics for the new generation of displays Open
Today's display industry faces transistor‐level challenges similar to those of complementary metal‐oxide semiconductor (CMOS) metal‐oxide semiconductor field‐effect transistors (MOSFETs) in the mid‐1990s. Learnings from MOSFETs inform the …
36.1: <i>Invited Paper:</i> Innovations in Thin Film Electronics for the New Generation of Displays Open
Improvements in semiconductor materials carried Moore's Law into the 1990s, where device geometries and limits in materials performance drove the need for fundamental innovation at the materials and structural levels of MOSFETs. The displa…
STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS FOR MANAGING PROTESTS: A NEW ERA Open
On November 24, 2022, Chief Superintendent (CS) John Brewer, acting Criminal Operations Officer for Core Policing from the British Columbia Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), presented Strategic Considerations for Managing Protests: A N…
2022 Summer Resource Adequacy in the ERCOT Region Open
This report is a 2022 update to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) report that examined the potential system performance of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) system during the summer of 2021. Anticipated summe…
Appalachian Hydrogen Infrastructure Analysis Open
As large-scale efforts to decarbonize the global economy ramp up in earnest, hydrogen is being positioned as a critical solution for numerous sectors. Hydrogen produced from fossil energy resources with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is …
2021 Summer Resource Adequacy in the ERCOT Region Open
This report is an update to the NETL report on the same topic that examined the potential system performance of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) system during the summer of 2020. Anticipated reserve margins in ERCOT have r…
Radiative Cooling and Thermoregulation in the Earth's Glow Open
Passive radiative cooling involves a net radiative heat loss into the cold outer space through the atmospheric transmission windows. Due to its passive nature and net cooling effect, it is a promising alternative or complement to electrica…
The Public Value of the Social Sciences Open
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. What is the purpose of social science? How can social science make itself relevant to the intractable pro…
Reliability, Resilience, and the Oncoming Wave of Retiring Baseload Units, Volume II-B: Electricity Generation Supply Chain in the Northeast Open
This study follows upon and expands upon the previously published NETL reports that examined the performance of electricity generation units during the winter storm and cold weather event known as the “Bomb Cyclone” that occurred in early …
Northern Ireland: Religion and Transitional Justice Open
The right to practice religion is recognised as one of the universal liberties transitional justice interventions are designed to defend, and religion is often mentioned as one of the cultural factors that impact on local transitional just…
The ethics of ethical debates in peace and conflict research: Notes towards the development of a research covenant Open
This article outlines the case for peace and conflict researchers to formulate a research covenant to better shape their ethical obligations and responsibilities. This is an urgent necessity given that ethical debates have in some proponen…
