Thermal performances of window frames and glazing represent a field growing research efforts - worldwide aiming to reduce energy consumption achieve indoor comfort. A combination newly designed super-insulated innovative technologies may enhance the performance windows. Aerogel-based “thermal breaks” for frames, coupled with high-performing glazing, lead significant saving. In this work, yearly...

eco-innovation is an actual topic as it links two key issues, innovation and sustainability. theenvironmental respect and innovation are important drivers of competitiveness. firms are willing to knowwhat to do to improve their eco-innovative capacity. the objective of this paper is to empirically determinewhat common characteristics have the most environmental oriented innovative firms. we ana...

Green innovation has been recognized as a key factor for balancing environmental sustainability and financial growth. Although the literature examined impacts of policy orientation on green innovation, there are still outstanding issues to be addressed. On one hand, existing studies have focused direct impact regulation or institutional pressure but fail account issue intermediate mechanisms be...

Higher peak performance on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) than on microprocessors was shown for sparse matrix vector multiplication (SpMxV) accelerator designs. However due to the frequent memory movement in SpMxV, system performance is heavily affected by memory bandwidth and overheads in real applications. In this paper, we introduce an innovative SpMxV Solver, designed for FPGAs, SSF...
